Chris Paul is a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee, and there should not be any doubt of that. However, as we say that, the Point Guard is in serious danger of being on the Mount Rushmore of NBA Hall of Fame First Ballot entrants who never won an NBA Championship. It is not that he has not been close, as he was on a very good Clippers team, and a Suns team that made the 2021 Finals. As we enter this season, Paul has so much on his docket, inclufing the 12 All-Star Games, five Assists Titles, six Steals Titles and the 11 All-NBA Selections, and statstcailly became the first player to amass 20,000 Points and 11,000 Assists. That is a lofty amount of accolades, but how many of those would he give up for a Title? He begins this season on a loaded, but aging Golden State team, but it might be his best shot for a ring.
