    Second only to Magic Johnson as an all time point guard.
    Massive respect to him for his contributions to the Houston Rockets!

    Amazing player…absolute dog. What an amazing career..his injury that year is the only reason he didn’t win a ring in 2018.

    But getting him was a big deal. He was the best player in college that year by a lot.

    Timing of announcement kinda makes me wonder if it was picked so league could give him a ceremony all-star weekend. I can even see him doing a speech. Guess if you can’t retire with a team, go out at ASG!

    The only time I was a fan of Chris Paul was when he played for the Rockets.

    Despite his greatness he was always a crybaby. If he wasn't I might have liked him.

    it really was an outstanding team. Should not have been broken up. CP3 still had some fuel in the tank. Every org makes mistakes, but getting rid of CP3 was certainly a big one. Obviously that was the downside of catering to Harden.

    65-17. First place in the Western Conference (by 7 games). One of the best teams to never win a championship. A hamstring away. When we were (almost) kings.

    Tragic isn't it? Severo needs to be the 2027 super bowl half time performance.

    He can help Udoka coach the offense.
