Paul played for 5 teams in his career and left his mark on each team, so what is his most proud career? Recently, Paul was interviewed by "The Athletic" Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, saying that it was the 2019-20 season that played for the Thunder.
When asked to name the season he was most proud of, Paul hesitated and then mentioned the 2019-20 season he played for the Thunder. He said he would never forget his experience playing for the Thunder that year, and said he was saddened by the suspension and contraction of the season due to the epidemic.
Paul said it was the first time he had been away from his family and had established a good relationship with his teammates and fans in The City of Russia, which has a great group of fans. And at the Thunder, he had some experiences he hadn't had in his previous career.
Paul was once blamed for signing a four-year, 160 million contract with the Rockets, but saved him in the 2019-20 season. In the 2019 offseason, he and Wei Shao exchanged for the Thunder. As a result, under his leadership, the Thunder, who was not optimistic before the season, actually made the playoffs and lost 7 games with the Rockets in the first round. Many have quipped that Paul postponed the Thunder's rebuilding plan by a year.
In this season, Paul averaged 17.6 points, 5 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game, shooting 48.9% from the field and 36.5% from three-point range. In this season, Paul has taken the point guard's ability to "turn a stone into gold" to the extreme, regaining his reputation and even being called the "god of point guards". He was also re-inducted as an All-Star after a gap of four years. In addition, Paul also contributed to the rapid maturity of players such as Alexander.
In the 2020 offseason, Paul was sent to the Suns by the Thunder, and returned to the playoffs with the Suns, who had previously been absent from the playoffs for 10 years in the 2020-21 season, and made it all the way to the Finals, further confirming the title of "Point Guard God". In Paul's mind, the city of Russia will always have a special place. (Supine Braces/Hairy)
