The clock is ticking for Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers.
At 40 years old, there is no doubt that he is getting close to the end of his career, but he wants to make every second count.
Speaking with Malika Andrew on “SportsCenter,” Paul made it clear: he wants to win a championship with the Clippers, but it’s about more than just that.
“That’s the goal,” Paul said. “At the same time, I do understand that not everyone gets a chance to play this long. I’ll be taking every moment in this season and making sure that I’m doing whatever I can to help our team win.”
“That’s the goal.”

Paul isn’t thinking about only claiming a title; he has his mind on his legacy.
He is going to receive a lot of attention in the new season because he is nearing retirement and coming back to the team that made him such a huge star.
After spending his first six seasons in New Orleans, Paul came to the Clippers in 2011-12, and one of the most prosperous periods of his career began.
Paul was perhaps the most important part of that team.
He is now coming back to the Clippers after years of playing for the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and San Antonio Spurs.
Paul is going to be a big help for the Clippers, but will it be enough?
The Western Conference is very tough, and Los Angeles will have to fight through a lot of competition if they wish to reach the Finals.
Paul wants a ring before he retires, but it still might be out of reach.
Thankfully, this upcoming, final run with the Clippers can still be worth it for him.
