On January 5, Beijing time, the Suns won the Pelicans 122-106 on the road, Chris Paul got 11 points, 5 rebounds and 15 assists, +23 plus-minus second in the game, and he created a milestone in a statistic to equal Jason Kidd and rushed to the fourth position in NBA history.
The Suns, who had the second-best record in the league in the regular season, had no suspense against the sunken Pelicans, and the Suns never trailed in the 48 minutes of the game and won easily. In this game, Paul played 33 minutes, hit 5 of 11 shots, scored 11 points, scored the fewest of the Suns' starting five, and even scored less than the new signings who came off the bench than Yongbo, but Paul still fully demonstrated his signature passing skills, delivering 15 assists while only 3 turnovers.
This is paul's 487th regular season double-double in his NBA career. Among the NBA active players, only Dwight Howard and LeBron James have more regular-season double-doubles than Paul, and even NBA history triple-doubles Russell Westbrook has had 18 fewer regular-season double-doubles than Paul so far!
On the NBA's all-time players' regular season "double-doubles" list, Paul officially tied Kidd and tied for 31st place in NBA history. As the 1994 NBA top show, Kidd's 19-year NBA career left a strong page, 5 best teams, 9 best defensive teams to support Kidd's comprehensiveness, as the 5-time NBA assist king Kidd has been the 75th superstar in NBA history, and has performed wonderfully on the Suns, Nets and Lone Rangers.
It is worth mentioning that Paul's regular season double-doubles have been able to rank fourth among all-time defenders in the NBA, behind John Stockton, Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson. Stockton and the Magician are recognized as the best point guards in NBA history, Robertson was once the ceiling of the guard's data machine, and now paul can stand with them.
As the first round of the 4th pick of the 2005 NBA Draft, Paul was selected to the Best Team 10 times, the Best Defensive Team 9 times, the King of Assists, the King of 6 Steals, and has been selected as a 75 superstar, and is already a proper Hall of Famer, but unfortunately he has never won the regular season MVP and has never won the championship. Although Paul is still in good shape, he is unable to hit the regular season MVP at the age of 36, and I hope that his championship dream can be realized.
