Paul said after the game: "I'm grateful, I thank God. I've always said, don't take playing in this league for granted. The first time I went into the league, I saw that roster and I saw John Stockton and I said, 'I'm going to overtake him.' But it was too late, and when I started missing a lot of games, it was doomed to be late (laughs). But to be able to finish third and still play, I'm grateful, and I still have a long way to go. ”
