Chris Paul of the Warriors Delivers a Career-Changing Championship Blast

Brutally Honest: Warriors’ Chris Paul drops championship truth bomb on career

Chris Paul is looking for that missing ring

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul has come close many times and has had many teams that were capable of winning the NBA Championship, but he has yet to reach the mountaintop, and he was brutally honest about how he would feel about his career if he retires without a ring while appearing on Dwyane Wade’s podcast.“Straight up — even though I think I’m gonna win a championship before I’m done — yes, absolutely,” Chris Paul said when Dwyane Wade asked if he felt his career would feel incomplete without a championship. “I can’t even process not winning a championship right now. That’s literally how I’m built. But I love what I’ve been able to do with my career. And I was probably a lot more stressed about that once upon a time.”

Throughout his career, Paul has made runs at a championship with the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns. He hopes that he can win that first ring with the Warriors, a team that is one of the main reasons that he does not have a ring right now.

Paul has gone through many playoff battles against the Warriors, and especially when he was in Houston with the Rockets, the Warriors narrowly beat teams that would have had great chances to win championships if they had advanced. Paul then reached the finals with the Suns, and fell short to the Milwaukee Bucks after taking a 2-0 series lead.

Regardless, Paul is focused on doing whatever he can to add that one missing piece to his resume.

Warriors Veteran Is Leaving The Team For Personal Matter

This has been a frustrating season for the Golden State Warriors, but lately, they have had a glimmer of hope.

They have won nine of their past 11 games, and they are now in ninth place in the Western Conference with a 30-27 record.

Forward Andrew Wiggins has stepped up his play lately after a poor first half of the season, but he missed Tuesday’s game against the Washington Wizards and will be out of action for an unspecified amount of time.

Head coach Steve Kerr said it is due to a personal matter he is dealing with, per Legion Hoops.

“We do expect him to be back but we just don’t exactly know when,” Kerr said.

Wiggins came to Golden State via trade four seasons ago from the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team that had traded for him after he was taken No. 1 overall in 2014.

When Golden State acquired him, he had a reputation as a low-efficiency offense-only player, but that started to change.

In the 2021-22 season, he was named a starter in the All-Star game while playing a key role in the Warriors winning their fourth NBA championship.

If the Warriors are to make the playoffs and do anything meaningful there, Wiggins will have to play a large role in that success.

They need players to pick up the slack for Klay Thompson, who is clearly not the same player he was after tearing his ACL and Achilles a few years ago.
