The Lakers’ previous game against Utah Jazz ended on a massive note as they secured the first seed in the Western Conference. But tonight has been tough for the team against Chris Paul [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/chris-paul/]‘s army. Oklahoma City Thunder earned a king-sized victory over the Lakers with a huge margin of 105-86. CHRIS PAUL LED THUNDER TO A SIGNIFICANT WIN TONIGHT It was a wonderful night for Chris Paul, but it wasn’t a one-man show. The likes of Danilo Gallinari, Steven Adams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/steven-adams/], and others put up a team effort out there to pull down the dominant LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] and Co. Thunder didn’t enter the contest with a full-fledged lineup. They were missing out on their starter, Dennis Schroder, since he was out for the birth of his child. Moreover, Terrence Ferguson also couldn’t make it to the game. Despite the empty slots in the team, Thunder put up an incredible performance. Running Diary: Thunder 105 | Lakers 86 | Los Angeles Lakers [https://www.nba.com/lakers/sites/lakers/files/diary-200805-main.jpg?w=756&h=440] CAN LAKERS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS COUNT? Chris Paul was a treat to watch. His threes and drive-ins were flawless at times and went on to score game-highest 21 points. On the other hand, the Lakers failed in ways that were disappointing for the fans. They delivered a horrible shooting night from LeBron, Anthony Davis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-davis/] to any player on the roster. Since season restart, Lakers lead duo, LeBron and AD put up the lowest combined field goal percentage of 33.3%. LeBron posted 19 points in the game, most of which came in the second half. AD has been inconsistent in the bubble. After 42 points in the last game against Jazz, he recorded a single-digit score tonight. Kyle Kuzma got some shots inside, but others were just failed attempts for the young man. Dion Waiters also found momentum only in the last quarter by the time nobody could help the Lakers to a win. The Orlando Bubble saw predictable games turntables. Today Thunder won with a 19-point lead. If the Lakers continue this poor trend of weak shooting nights, will they survive the playoffs?

Lakers gave away a poor performance against Thunder. Big men, LeBron James and
Anthony Davis also messed up the shooting performance.

<h2><b>Everything to Know About the Los Angeles Lakers</b></h2>
<h2><b>History</b></h2>
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most popular sports teams in the world. The Lakers are also a very successful team, and it started right from the beginning. The franchise began in 1947 as the Minneapolis Lakers in the National Basketball League and won the title in 1948. The team then joined the rival Basketball Association of America, which would later become the NBA in 1948. The Lakers continued their successful run in the BAA as well. But the team struggled financially in the mid-50s and relocated to Los Angeles in 1960 as the Los Angeles Lakers.

<h2><b>Who is the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers?</b></h2>
Dr. Jerry Buss purchased the Los Angeles Lakers along with the Forum and NHL's Los Angeles Kings for $67 million in 1979 from then-owner Jack Kent Cooke. The Lakers thrived under the leadership of Buss as he revolutionized virtually the entire league.

When Dr. Buss passed away in 2013, the ownership was transferred to his six children through a family trust. The Buss Family Trusts is the majority owner of the Lakers now with Jeanie Buss acting as the controlling owner. She became the first female controlling owner to win the title when the Lakers clinched the championship in 2020.

<div class="thb-post-title-bottom">
<h2><b>Who are the team sponsors?</b></h2>
The Los Angeles Lakers are sponsored by several major brands. Notably, the Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers signed a stadium-naming rights deal with the cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com. According to reports, it was a 20-year $700 million contract. So, the Staples Center was officially renamed Crypto.com Arena.

While the official kit sponsor of the Lakers is Nike, the team signed a deal with bibigo as the official jersey patch partner in 2021. Some of the other notable sponsors of the team are American Express, Beyond Meat, BioSteel, Budweiser, Comerica, Delta and Pepsi.

<h2><b>Achievements and wins</b></h2>
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the two most successful teams in the league with 17 championships each. The Lakers' winning culture started right after the team was founded in 1947 as they won the NBL title in 1948. The Minneapolis Lakers continued winning titles after moving to the BAA as well. Then the BAA merged with NBL to form the NBA in 1949. So, the Lakers' 1948 title win is not considered by the NBA as an official championship. However, the 1949 championship is recognized since the team joined the BAA.

The dominance of the Lakers continued in the 50s as they won titles in 1950, 1952, 1953 and 1954, led by legendary center George Mikan. However, things went south after Mikan retired in 1954 as the team struggled on and off the court. Because of the financial troubles, the franchise was relocated to Los Angeles in 1960. However, the team still found it hard to get back to its winning ways. After a dry spell that lasted years, the team won the 1972 title with the help of NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain. It was followed by another eight years of disappointment.

In 1979, Dr. Jerry Buss became the majority owner of the Lakers with the intention to turn the team's luck around. 1979 also marked the entry of NBA legend Earvin 'Magic' Johnson when the team drafted him as the first pick. Thus began the era of Showtime Lakers. With the help of Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others, the Lakers lifted five championships in 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1988. The team then lost the 1989 and 1991 NBA Finals.

The Lakers struggled again until Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant started working their magic. The duo led the Lakers to three straight championships from 2000 to 2002, a feat even the Showtime Lakers could not achieve. O'Neal, Bryant and the team dismantled their opponents on their way to all three titles, displaying utter dominance. After Shaq left the team in 2004, Kobe became the main man. He then led the team to two straight rings in 2009 and 2010. Recently, superstar LeBron James helped the team win their record 17th championship in 2020.
<h2><b>The Lakers' rivalry with the Boston Celtics</b></h2>
The Boston Celtics and the Lakers are the two most successful teams in the league with 17 championships each. The Lakers and Celtics also have one of the biggest and longest rivalries in sports history. The rivalry between the two started in 1959 when they first faced each other in the Finals. The two have battled in the Finals a record 12 times in which the Celtics mostly came out on top.

In 1959, the Celtics swept the Lakers for the title. The Celtics continued their dominance over the Lakers by winning a mindboggling eight straight Finals, winning in 1959, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969 and 1984 over the Lakers. This was a massive blow to the franchise and its loyal fans who felt that their opponents were simply unbeatable. However, the Lakers finally overcame this streak and won the championship against the Celtics in 1985 and then again in 1987.

After the 1987 Finals, the Lakers and the Celtics once again locked horns in 2008 where Boston came out victorious. The teams again clashed in the 2010 Finals with the Lakers clinching the title this time. While the Celtics have won 9, the Lakers have won 3 in their 12 Finals showdowns so far.
<h2><b>How many numbers have the Lakers retired?</b></h2>
The Lakers have always been fortunate to have some of the most storied players on their roster for a long time. Therefore, so far, the team has 14 names on their rafters. The jerseys of legends George Mikan (99), Elgin Baylor (22), <span style="font-weight: 400">Jerry West (44), Wilt Chamberlain</span> (13), Gail Goodrich (25), Kareem <span style="font-weight: 400">Abdul-Jabbar (33), Magic Johnson (32), James Worthy (42), Jamaal Wilkes (52), Shaquille O?Neal (34), Kobe Bryant (8, 24) and Pau Gasol (16) have been retired. Legendary broadcaster Chick Hearn's name is also up on the rafters.</span>
<h2><b>Laker Girls: The owner's game-changing entertainment addition</b></h2>
Dr. Jerry Buss was a visionary who revolutionized the league with his entertainment and marketing ideas. The legendary team owner wanted the Lakers to be entertaining on and off the court to bring fans to the arena and to popularize the game in the country and around the world. One of Dr. Buss' important innovations was the Laker Girls.

The late owner ordered a formation of a dance squad with highly talented female dancers. While the idea received some backlash early on, it became widely accepted. While the Showtime Lakers entertained fans with their up-tempo style of play, the Laker Girls kept the crowd going with their dances during breaks.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Since 2008, Oklahoma City Thunder has been playing their home games at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Similar to other ones, this arena too serves as a multi-purpose venue for concerts and live events. The structure can hold about 18,200 people during NBA games.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Oklahoma City Thunder: Owner and Top Executives</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Oklahoma City Thunder is owned by an investment group called the Professional Basketball Club LLC. Just as their name suggests, the PBC also owns OKC?s G-League affiliate, Oklahoma City Blue.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The group?s chairman is Clay Bennett, a wealthy businessman. This is not Bennett?s first ownership duty in the NBA, as he was a part-owner of the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/san-antonio-spurs/" rel="noopener noreferrer">San Antonio Spurs</a> in the mid-90s.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="https://www.nba.com/thunder/team/basketballops1html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sam Presti</a> holds the office of the General Manager of the franchise. Presti is a long-serving member, as he?s been at the position since 2007. Furthermore, just a year after he was hired as the GM, Presti was also handed the role of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>History</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">OKC, as it is now known, was a different team back then. They were originally founded as the Seattle SuperSonics, as a part of the NBA?s expansion during the 1967-68 season, along with the San Diego Rockets. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Sonics struck gold just a decade after they were formed. Back-to-back finals appearances established their legacy in the association. The Sonics reached the finals in 1978 and 1979, where they met the Washington Bullets on both occasions.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">An initial loss was overturned the following year as they triumphed over the Bullets 4-1 in the finals series to win their first-ever NBA championship. 5x All-Star Dennis Johnson was named the Finals MVP for his incredible scoring.?</span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-422451 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201025140427/dennis-johnson-driving-sonics-archive.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Sonics never seemed to lose their touch or fade away from the league. They remained to be a constant presence in the playoffs, and several talented players joined the franchise to add to its legacy.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The 1995/96 Sonics team was incredibly special. Future Hall of Famer Gary Payton led the team to its first finals in 17 years but ended up losing to <a href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-jordan/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michael Jordan</a> and the Chicago Bulls. Following this season, the Sonics experienced a slight drop, but it was only for a few years as they acquired a special pick in 2007.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The team signed <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kevin Durant</a> with the second overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, and he enabled them to become title contenders once again. Just a year after signing Durant, the franchise relocated to Oklahoma City from Seattle.?</span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-422448 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201025135939/656d226ee5efa73b901b39554c8f0789_crop_exact.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1322" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Durant spent nine years with the team and took them to one finals trip in 2011 alongside Russell Westbrook and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/james-harden/" rel="noopener noreferrer">James Harden</a>. Durant inarguably goes down as one of the all-time greats of the franchise as he </span><a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/duranke01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400">averaged</span></a>?<span style="font-weight: 400">a mammoth 27.4 points a game during his stint.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Oklahoma City Thunder: Mascot and Uniforms</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Oklahoma City Thunder has an official mascot who goes by the name, <em>?Rumble the Bison.?</em> The Thunder has an intriguing back story for Rumble as to how he got acquainted with the team.?</span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-422450 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201025140224/worst-mascots-2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="768" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Bison was allegedly struck by lightning, giving him </span><a href="https://www.nba.com/thunder/rumble#:~:text=Rumble%20the%20Bison%20%7C%20Oklahoma%20City%20Thunder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400">the power</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> of the Gods, which enabled him to walk on two legs. He roamed around the hills of the state, seeking a similar company, and that is when the Thunder moved to Oklahoma. Thus, a new bond was formed.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">OKC?s primary colors have remained the same: Blue, Yellow, White, and Sunset. These three colors shine bright in their uniforms, be it any edition.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Since Nike took over the NBA jersey deal, OKC has generally worn ?white? for their Association uniforms, Blue for the Icon edition, and so on.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Team?s Sponsors</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Love's Travel Stops &amp; Country Stores is the main jersey sponsor of the Oklahoma City Thunder. One could see the team endorsing the brand through the patches in their uniform. It is a truck stop and a convenience store that is vastly spread around the United States with over 500 shops spanning 41 states.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">OKC also has </span><a href="https://sponsorpitch.com/properties/oklahoma-city-thunder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400">partnerships</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400">with Uber, Zaxby?s, OU Medicine, and other prominent companies.?</span>

<h2><b>Orlando Bubble: Format, Schedule, and Invited Teams</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">To continue with the 2019-20</span><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">NBA</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> season amid the coronavirus pandemic, NBA commissioner Adam Silver proposed a revised regular-season plan for teams that are in clear contention for playoff entry. The Orlando Bubble will see 22 out of the 30 teams from the league competing for the NBA championship inside the Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The NBA Bubble will host revised regular-season fixtures and the playoffs inside Walt Disney World?s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. There are three facilities inside the complex where the games will take place.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The 22 invited teams are assigned hotels based on their seeding from the NBA table. Top four seeds from each conference will be staying at the Grand Destino, while the mid-four from the East and West will be staying at the Grand Floridian. The remaining six (five from the west and one from the east) will be staying at the Yacht Club.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The 22 teams from both conferences will play eight games each, which will count as per the regular-season format. Upon completion of these fixtures, there might be a possibility of a</span><a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-disney-world-rules-revealed-details-of-how-the-bubble-will-work-as-league-plans-to-resume-play/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">play-in tournament</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> between the #8 and #9 seeds if the latter is within four games of the former. Post this, the playoffs will commence in the traditional best-of-seven series format.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">However, strict social distancing must be followed at all times inside the Orlando Bubble. Using a mask is necessary at all times, except during meals. During games, each team will have two rows of benches. While the first bench isn?t required to wear masks, the second bench, consisting of coaches and trainers, have to wear them at all times.</span>
<h2><b>Other facilities inside the Orlando Bubble</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">To keep the players engaged, each hotel will have a players-only lounge area consisting of televisions and gaming areas. Besides these facilities, the players will also receive access to barbers and spa services.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Moreover, the NBA has organized for DJ sets and movie screenings to keep the athletes occupied during non-game time. Additionally, players can try their hand at fishing, bowling, corn holes, and other outdoor activities.</span>

<h2><b>Are families allowed inside the Orlando bubble?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The league strictly stated that only players can enter the bubble at the beginning of the restart. This is due to the fact that the athletes would have to undergo a huge load of formalities to ensure maximum safety.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the league does not completely rule out the entry of guests into the bubble. Post the first round of the playoffs, the remaining teams are allowed to <a href="https://twitter.com/MarcJSpears/status/1300449120373669890" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bring in limited guests inside the bubble</a>. Of course, it goes without saying that the arriving guests would have to complete the mandatory period, after which they can reunite with their respective families.?</span>

Orlando Bubble

Orlando Bubble: Format, Schedule, and Invited Teams To continue with the 2019-20 NBA season amid the coronavirus pandemic, NBA commissioner Adam Silver proposed a revised regular-season plan for teams that are in clear contention for playoff entry. The Orlando Bubble will see 22 out of the 30 teams from the league competing for the NBA championship inside the Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. The NBA Bubble will host revised regular-season fixtures and the playoffs inside Walt Disney World?s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. There are three facilities inside the complex where the games will take place. The 22 invited teams are assigned hotels based on their seeding from the NBA table. Top four seeds from each conference will be staying at the Grand Destino, while the mid-four from the East and West will be staying at the Grand Floridian. The remaining six (five from the west and one from the east) will be staying at the Yacht Club. The 22 teams from both conferences will play eight games each, which will count as per the regular-season format. Upon completion of these fixtures, there might be a possibility of a play-in tournament between the #8 and #9 seeds if the latter is within four games of the former. Post this, the playoffs will commence in the traditional best-of-seven series format. However, strict social distancing must be followed at all times inside the Orlando Bubble. Using a mask is necessary at all times, except during meals. During games, each team will have two rows of benches. While the first bench isn?t required to wear masks, the second bench, consisting of coaches and trainers, have to wear them at all times. Other facilities inside the Orlando Bubble To keep the players engaged, each hotel will have a players-only lounge area consisting of televisions and gaming areas. Besides these facilities, the players will also receive access to barbers and spa services. Moreover, the NBA has organized for DJ sets and movie screenings to keep the athletes occupied during non-game time. Additionally, players can try their hand at fishing, bowling, corn holes, and other outdoor activities.

The league strictly stated that only players can enter the bubble at the beginning of the restart. This is due to the fact that the athletes would have to undergo a huge load of formalities to ensure maximum safety.? However, the league does not completely rule out the entry of guests into the bubble. Post the first round of the playoffs, the remaining teams are allowed to bring in limited guests inside the bubble. Of course, it goes without saying that the arriving guests would have to complete the mandatory period, after which they can reunite with their respective families.?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Anthony Davis: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</strong></h2>
Anthony Davis currently plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-los-angeles-lakers-full-roster/">Los Angeles Lakers</a> in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He started his career in the league with New Orleans Pelicans, or New Orleans Hornets as it was known then.

Born March 11, 1993, Davis became the 2012 NBA Draft's first overall pick after just one season of college basketball for the University of Kentucky. Moreover, it just took him one more year to become an NBA all-star.

[caption id="attachment_642821" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-642821" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-05-10T044523Z_175423973_MT1USATODAY16056713_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PHOENIX-SUNS-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS.jpg" alt="Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis" width="1920" height="1280" /> May 9, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (3) reacts after a dunk during the second half against the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

He made his first playoff appearance in 2015. In the next season, he signed a five-year, $145 million contract extension with the Pelicans. However, a few months into the season, Davis' season ended due to shoulder and knee injuries.

Davis has several tattoos on his body, a few visible while playing ball. Notably, he has a tattoo of Mamba as a tribute to<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kobe-bryant/"> Kobe Bryant</a>.
<h2><strong>Anthony Davis and Los Angeles Lakers</strong></h2>
After Magic Johnson brought in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/">LeBron James</a> to the Lakers, he also made attempts to bring Anthony Davis to LA. After failing to sign him during the 2018/19 season, Davis requested a trade with the Pelicans. In the following off-season, the Lakers signed Davis to form an enviable duo of James and Davis. Together, they led the Lakers to the franchise's 17th NBA championship in 2020. It was Davis's first championship.

Ever since that victory, Davis' career has been marred due to multiple injuries. Despite a disappointing season in which the Lakers missed the Playoffs, the front office hopes that the team can make a comeback. Given how successful his partnership with LeBron James has been, AD will hope to add more championships and laurels to his trophy cabinet. Although the last couple of seasons have been injury prone for him, a terrific comeback is on the cards.

<h2>Chris Paul 2022: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</h2>
Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul, also known as the Point God is currently playing his 17th season in the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a>. He was drafted with the fourth overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Hornets.

Despite the Hornets' lack of success, Paul emerged as one of the best point guards in the league. His best campaign came in 2008 when he finished second in the MVP voting, a result some fans are still not content about.

[caption id="attachment_665761" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-665761" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-05-30T200536Z_608883694_MT1USATODAY16178850_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PLAYOFFS-PHOENIX-SUNS-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS.jpg" alt="Lakers could have had Chris Paul?" width="1920" height="1306" /> May 30, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (3) controls the ball against the Los Angeles Lakers during the first half in game four of the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs. at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

He was then traded to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/la-clippers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LA Clippers</a> in 2011 where he had the iconic Lob City team up with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. They became one of the best teams in the league and were also very entertaining to watch. But lack of postseason success still followed Paul who was subsequently traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/houston-rockets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Houston Rockets</a> in 2017.

He joined forces with James Harden, and almost led them to the NBA Finals, but then he got injured sadly. He played just two seasons before the Rockets traded him to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>.

Following the season, the Thunder accepted his wishes and sent him to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Phoenix Suns</a> where he is now creating menace in the West alongside <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/devin-booker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Devin Booker</a>. In his first season itself, CP3 led a young Suns side all the way to the Finals defeating LeBron James and the mighty Lakers in the first round and defeating a resilient Clippers' side in the Conference Finals.

Chris Paul 2022: Net worth, salary, and endorsements Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul, also known as the Point God is currently playing his 17th season in the NBA. He was drafted with the fourth overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Hornets. Despite the Hornets&#8217; lack of success, Paul emerged as one of the best point guards in the league. His best campaign came in 2008 when he finished second in the MVP voting, a result some fans are still not content about.

Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports He was then traded to LA Clippers in 2011 where he had the iconic Lob City team up with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. They became one of the best teams in the league and were also very entertaining to watch. But lack of postseason success still followed Paul who was subsequently traded to the Houston Rockets in 2017. He joined forces with James Harden, and almost led them to the NBA Finals, but then he got injured sadly. He played just two seasons before the Rockets traded him to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Following the season, the Thunder accepted his wishes and sent him to the Phoenix Suns where he is now creating menace in the West alongside Devin Booker. In his first season itself, CP3 led a young Suns side all the way to the Finals defeating LeBron James and the mighty Lakers in the first round and defeating a resilient Clippers&#8217; side in the Conference Finals. In spite of leading in the Finals, the Suns lost to the Bucks. In the 2021-22 season, Paul has been the protagonist in the build-up play for Phoenix, in spite of not putting up the best numbers.
