🎙️ The Point God is nearing his final chapter.
In a candid moment during an offseason appearance, Chris Paul revealed that the 2025–26 season might be his last in the NBA.
🗣️ “This might be it for me… If I do play, it’ll be at the most, a year,” Paul said. “I’m at peace with what I’ve accomplished.”
At 40 years old, Paul’s words were less a surprise than a somber reminder: one of the greatest point guards of all time is preparing his final act.
