The Phoenix Suns suffered a massive defeat to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals. With their season coming to an abrupt end and their hopes of possibly getting a second chance to win their first title, questions and rumors arose about Chris Paul and his retirement. Other than physical and mental exhaustion, the Suns had nothing left to give to the series. They did everything in their power to challenge the Mavericks and win the series, but fatigue likely knocked them down and this came as they lost 33 points at home.

Chris Paul denies retirement rumors
After the disappointing match, ‘Point God’ addressed the media and spoke about his loss and his future. Chris Paul’s future remains a big question mark in the league. 37 years old and 17 years oldpearl season goes to 18pearl. It is known by everyone that the experienced playmaker is at a stage where he will retire sooner or later.
“It’s just a tough game. We tried to lean on our defense all season and tonight our defense wasn’t there, our offense wasn’t there either, so I think the coach said a lot, you know what I mean. You’re playing to be in that situation all season and it didn’t work for us, ‘ replied Paul of the Suns’ 7-game loss to Dallas.
Chris Paul appeared in flames as he entered the series. He had made history by scoring a perfect 14/14 off the field in the previous series. To follow up, he logged 47 points and 11 total assists and just 4 turnovers in the first two games of the Western Conference Semifinals. The impressive success was followed by difficulties in the remainder of the series.
Since his birthday, May 6, Paul has averaged just 9.4 points, 5.8 assists and knocked the ball 3.6 times per game in series against the Dallas Mavericks. And Dallas has benefited from every fallout.
Chris Paul has been through a lot in his career and is definitely nearing the end of the road. However, the first future Hall of Fame seems to have made its decision against a possible retirement.
“They said it last year. They probably said it in ’08,” Paul said when asked if this was his best opportunity to win a championship. “You know, you play long enough and you don’t win, they’re going to say every time you lose it’s your best chance, but I think for us we’ll be right back next year, I’ll tell you a lot. I won’t retire tomorrow.”
After 17 years in the league, Chris Paul averaged 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 10.8 assists. He was an All-Star 12 times in his career. He has had league assists in four different seasons and has been named to the All-NBA roster ten different times, possibly eleven different times since the end of this season. He is considered one of the smartest players to play the game, and this is evident in his kicks and passes. Paul did everything possible as an elite point guard but unfortunately did not win a championship.
As the off-season begins, Paul will enter his 18th season in the NBA and his third season with the Phoenix Suns.
