Chris Paul's Former NBA Teammates React to His Instagram Post

In this story:
San Antonio Spurs guard Chris Paul is entering his 20th season in the NBA. A 12-time NBA All-Star, Paul is not the player he once was, but he should still be able to help a young Spurs team take a step forward next season.
Spending last season with the Golden State Warriors, Paul appeared in 58 games (18 starts), averaging 9.2 points and 6.8 assists. Paul signed a one-year, $11 million contract with San Antonio earlier this offseason.
Via Spurs on July 7: “The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed 11-time All-NBA guard Chris Paul. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not announced."
Officially a Spur 😤
