What to know: "The Point God" has been among the NBA's very best playmakers approaching two decades, but hasn't quite reached the mountaintop. Paul's best chance so far came in 2021, when the Suns made the finals but lost to the Bucks. This year's Suns team, with Kevin Durant, may be his best chance at grabbing an elusive ring.
