Chris Paul’s First Appearance in Warriors Uniform Had NBA Fans Bewildered
NBA fans will have to get used to some familiar faces on different teams this upcoming season, including a future Hall of Famer in Chris Paul.
The standout point guard is entering his 19th NBA season on his sixth team after being traded to the Warriors in the offseason. The 38-year-old initially was traded by the Suns to the Wizards. Days later, Washington traded Paul to Golden State in exchange for Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins and multiple draft picks.
NBA fans got their first glimpse of Paul in a Warriors uniform at media day on Monday, and the visual threw a lot of people off. The 12-time All-Star sporting Golden State’s blue and gold is a look fans will have to get used to this season.
Some fans think CP3 just doesn’t look right in a Warriors jersey, but this is the new normal heading into the 2023-24 campaign.
