While 38YO Chris Paul Hunts Championship With Warriors, His 34YO ?Lob City? Teammate Mulls Over a Major Career Choice

The undying desire in the heart of Chris Paul to win a championship in his playing career has received applause. The point guard joined the Golden State Warriors to fulfill that desire of his. While the 38-year-old continued to make significant moves, his 34-year-old former teammate mulled over a major career choice.

The former Lob City partner of CP3 found himself at a crucial junction in his playing career. Despite the lack of clarification over his final decision, the choice might impact the NBA fans immensely.

What exactly happened?

The Warriors shocked everyone with their acquisition of Chris, as the Point God added an extra layer of excitement to the team. Amidst his ambitions to win his first ring, one of his former Los Angeles Clippers teammates was considering his retirement.?Blake Griffin, with whom Paul shared the court for six years, could call it a day soon.

The latest reports hinted at the departure of Blake from the league after his recent injury struggles. Following his last stint at the Boston Celtics, the center became a free agent and was yet to re-sign with the franchise. In the midst of it, the President of the organization, Brad Stevens, pointed out the possibility of retirement for the 6-time All-Star.

Brad revealed how Boston was interested in signing Griffin back to add experience to the roster. But the Oklahoman declined the opportunity to keep his options open and think about his life choices. Thus, the ex-Clippers at this stage stood at the opposite ends of the spectrum. It made us reminisce about the show they used to put together for the side from LA.

During his time there, Paul led the league in assists for two consecutive seasons and in steals for three back-to-back seasons. Blake’s game also improved as he averaged less than 20 points a game in just one season. The intelligence and understanding between them struck fear in their opponents as their dominance stayed intact.

Despite that, they failed to win a championship together and even later in their careers, luck did not bless them. Griffin’s injury problems started during his time in Los Angeles as Chris failed to push through alone. Six years since their separation, they have different priorities now.
