Chris Paul is arguably one of the finest point guards the league has seen in its last decade. Playing with some of the best teams in the West like the lob-city Clippers and the James Harden led Rockets, CP3 had some deep playoff runs but injuries and disappointing performances always kept him away from the Finals.
But the veteran guard finally booked his ticket to the Finals this season as he alongside a young Suns squad led by Devin Booker stormed their way past the Lakers, Clippers and the Nuggets to reach the NBA finals.
Facing off against an all-round Milwaukee Bucks team, Paul and the Suns have got off to a great start as they have won their first two games and have a 2-0 lead. With a commanding lead, the CP3 might be heading towards his first NBA title.

He will only trail another legendary Laker in Kareem Abdul Jabbar who won a Finals MVP trophy when he was a 37-year-old. CP3 has had his fair share of struggles in the post-season, but so far he has been on a different level.
While he may not be putting up the points as young star Devin Booker does, the veteran guard has stepped up every time his team has needed him to and has helped the teams in closing out crucial games.
