Chris Paul has made his championship intents quite clear. A recent video of CP3 has got the Golden State Warriors fans in a frenzy. The 12-time NBA All-Star is yet to add a ring to his achievements. But one of the greatest point guards of all time has clearly set his sight on the crown this time around.
The Warriors are also part of the top three contenders this season. So, it’s only natural that there is a higher chance of the “Point God” scoring one. Being around players like Stephen Curry must also boost his confidence in the chances of landing a ring.

In 2022, to commemorate the NBA’s 75th Anniversary, The Athletic ranked their top 75 players of all time and named Paul as the 30th greatest player in NBA history. He has played alongside many talents like David West, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and more. Every team he’s been on has made the team better. His consistency has affected everyone on the team to be better versions of themselves.
Paul is a playmaker who can create easier offense. The Warriors had the third-lowest pick-and-roll frequency. Paul had the highest pick and roll frequency among qualifiers, with that play making up 55.9% of his offensive attack. This can allow the Dubs to have a change of pace and become more unpredictable. With both Paul and Stephen Curry as point guards, the Warriors can adjust their speed depending on the lineup.
