On April 1, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. They have picked up their 62nd win of the season after the Suns beat the Warriors yesterday, which helped them tie the best record in franchise history. As long as they win one more game in the next game, they will set a new team-history regular season record.
The Suns have been invincible this season, and veteran Paul is naturally indispensable. So far this season, Paul has averaged 33 minutes per game, averaging 15 points, 4.4 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 1.8 steals, shooting 49.4 percent from the field. At the beginning of the season, Paul was at one point in the top 5 of the league's official MVP list, and then withdrew from the MVP competition after an injury suspension.
In addition to his excellent performance on the field, Paul also gained something on the sidelines. Earlier today, Shams reported that Paul had been appointed to the Advisory Board of The HistoricalLy Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)! Clearly, this is a recognition of Paul's off-court behavior, who has been actively vocal about social events and has acted as a bridge between NBA players and the league.
It is worth mentioning that from 2013 to 2021, Paul has been the president of the NBA Players Union, and he has been actively defending and fighting for the benefits that players deserve. At the same time, he also actively communicated with the league when the NBA faced the new crown crisis and other situations, discussing further plans to ensure that the interests of the league and players would not be damaged.
So far in his career, the 36-year-old Paul has been named to the All-Star Team 12 times, the All-Team First Team four times, the Best Defensive First Team seven times, the NBA Assist King, and the NBA Steals King 6 times. However, Paul has not won the NBA championship so far, and this season the Suns have shown a fault-like strength, and perhaps Paul has the hope of fulfilling his championship dream this year!
