The Golden State Warriors just won their second game of the season after dropping the season-opener. The Warriors took care of business against the Houston Rockets. But the game brought a new aspect for veteran point guard Chris Paul as he ended his 13,066-long streak.

Chris Paul has been a starter for most of his career. The ?point god? has excelled in running the team?s offense perfectly for the past 18 seasons. But now, being with a new team has brought a new role for CP3.

Chris Paul talks about his new role with the Warriors

Chris Paul has embraced playing with Stephen Curry and the Warriors despite competing and butting heads with them for the majority of his career. Not only has Paul displayed great eagerness but he has also taken a smaller role for the team.

With Draymond Green back in the starting lineup, Chris Paul has been shifted to the bench. This will be the first time in Paul?s career that he will be coming off the bench after leading his teams on the floor.

After the game against the Houston Rockets, Paul sat down for a post-game press conference. When asked about his new role, Paul said, ?Coming off the bench? It was different. Klay told me, 13,066 games. It?s definitely different but at the end of the day, it?s basketball.?

?So, for me, the warmup is different. A lot of it was. But once you get out there playing in the game, now it?s hooping. And it?s cool to be on a team like this where you?re just free-flowing. Everybody?s playing and sharing the ball.?

He also added, ?I?m figuring out something that new. But it?s whatever I gotta do to help our team win.?

Will Paul excel in handling the team’s second unit?

Chris Paul seems to have embraced the role of coming off the bench for the Warriors with open arms. Not many star players who were top names back in their prime tend to take a smaller role.?

But not Paul. He understands what the Warriors require from him and is willing to do whatever it takes to help his team win games. With Paul shifted to the bench, it would be interesting to see how that affects the Warriors? second unit without starters on the court.
