Through injury-plagued and unfortunate playoff runs, Chris Paul is dropping from winning a title by close margins. This year the veteran guard was finally an inch away from this feat, however, Milwaukee Bucks took away Paul’s aspirations this year as well.
The 2021 NBA Finals between Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks was an intriguing matchup. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. won the finals series 4-2 after facing a deficit in the initial games. And there, Paul was again struck with a shoulder injury. While it turned out to be saddening for CP3’s fans, the ‘point god’ isn’t giving up on his dreams.

It isn’t the first time that CP3 has found himself in this scenario. The last time he came as close to the trophy was with the Houston Rockets.

This year, Chris Paul has made his career’s first NBA Finals appearance and he’s already addicted to the atmosphere. He averaged 21.8 points, and 8.2 assists while shooting 54.4% from the field. As per ‘Time’, the 11-time All-star wants another run at the title. He told, “Now that I’ve got a taste of what that [NBA Finals] experience is like, I’m sort of addicted.”
