“The game simply ended when he decided it needed to end” Twitter left in awe after Chris Paul dominates the fourth quarter of Game 1 vs Pelicans

Chris Paul is one of the most underrated players on the court and his presence has often visibly elevated teams to a whole new level. Paul signed with the Phoenix Suns last season and led them to the NBA playoffs after over a decade of missing out. The Suns also fought through to make it to the finals which were their first appearance since 1993.

Chris Paul signed a $120 million (US) contract with the Suns after declining his player option to enter the 2021 free agency for a brand new deal. Paul has had a major impact on the young team being led under his wing. Devin Booker has been able to work his wonders more on the scoring aspect of offense rather than focusing on too many things at once. The team is currently on its way to potentially winning a title this season as many have already decided.
