NBA legend Chris Paul recently revealed that he set a self-imposed deadline of All-Star Weekend for his retirement decision, following his unexpected release by the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite being traded to and subsequently waived by the Toronto Raptors, and rumored interest from other teams, Paul decided to step away from the game when no new opportunity materialized by his deadline. His illustrious 20-season career solidifies his place as a future Hall of Famer and one of the greatest guards in league history.
