Phoenix Suns Veteran Chris Paul Wants to Win an NBA Championship

• Chris Paul has said no one wants to win an NBA title more than him
• The Phoenix Suns veteran has played 18 seasons in the NBA but has not won the NBA title
• They are among the favorites to win the title this season 

Phoenix Suns veteran point guard Chris Paul has said he wants to win the NBA championship.

Paul has played 18 seasons in the NBA and came close to winning the NBA title in 2021 when he led the Suns to the NBA Finals, but they fell short, losing in six games to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Paul was part of the NBA 75th Anniversary team and is a lock for the Hall of Fame. However, some have questioned the lack of a championship for such a legendary point guard.

The 37-year-old has played in an era of generational players like LeBron James and Stephen Curry, who have won eight NBA titles in the last decade.

The veteran recently became the only player in NBA history to record at least 20,000 career points and 11,000 assists. He also surpassed Michael Jordan for third place on the league’s all-time steals list (2,544), per CBS Sports.

Chris Paul on Durant

Sports Brief earlier reported on Chris Paul reacting to Durant joining the Suns, saying he is excited to play with the 2014 MVP.

Paul said Durant is one of the best players in the league and is looking forward to stepping on the court with him.

"Just to know how he approaches the game, his nickname's Easy Money, just somebody who loves the game like that. I think that's what brought me and Book closer together because he just love to hoop. And KD, he just love to hoop. So I'm excited about the process of building this team."
