Chris Paul is just a few months shy of celebrating his 40th birthday, and he’s the second-oldest active player in the NBA, trailing only longtime friend LeBron James, who will reach the big 4-0 later this month. Now in his 20th season, Paul has outlasted everyone from his 2005 NBA Draft class, and by a significant margin, as the others all retired at least three years ago. Naturally, given his age, and the number of years under his belt, retirement is a popular topic regarding Paul, and it’s a topic he’s not shying away from.
However, that doesn’t mean Paul is ready to hang up the sneakers, and one shouldn’t expect this season to be a retirement tour for the San Antonio Spurs point guard. But Paul does have a timeline in his mind of when he’ll move on from the game, and he shared it with Spurs legend, Tony Parker, in a recent interview.
