. so chris paul is retiring huh? seems kinda sudden but whatever, congrats to him on an amazing career, right? he's def one of the greatest point guards of all time 
. and lebron james paying tribute to him tho, that's just sweet 
. i'm actually kinda sad it's coming to an end, not gonna lie 
. but hey, chris paul is def going out with a bang 
, who else can say they've played alongside the king for 21 years? 
. anyway, i hope he enjoys his retirement and gets to chill with lebron james whenever he wants 
.
chris paul is literally one of the greatest point guards of all time... 21 seasons with lebron james is insane! 
i mean, they're like two peas in a pod on and off the court. but what really gets me is how paul's been carrying teams to the playoffs single-handedly for years now... that's some crazy clutch gene right there 
stats-wise, though, chris paul's all-time top 10 in assists (15k+), steals (3k+), and wins (1200+). not bad for a guy who's still going strong 
what's next for the man? does he retire with another championship? only time will tell... 
21 seasons of greatness is something to cherish for sure 
i got mad respect for the dude, but i gotta say lebron's tribute was lowkey cheesy 
point god indeed lolol, that's some next level stuff right there 
can u imagine basketball without CP3 on the court? 
what a legend! LeBron is one of the coolest guys in the league, always supporting each other even when they're playing against each other 
those two have a special bond that's hard to see in sports. can't wait to see them play each other one last time 
... they've shared so much more than just rings and accolades - they're like brothers, in every sense 
... I love how LeBron paid tribute to CP3 with that "POINT GOD" post 
... can't wait to see what the future holds for both of them, but it's also hard to imagine the NBA without this duo on the court 
he was so young but already making waves in the league. fast forward to now and he's still killing it, one of the most clutch point guards of all time. his retirement is a bummer man I don't wanna think about it yet but at least we got the chance to see him play one last time against king james
