Chris Paul is the son of Charles Edward Paul Sr. and Robin Jones. He was born on May 6, 1985, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Charles “C.J.” Paul is his older brother’s name. Charles Sr. was an athlete in his day, and he passed his knowledge of the sport on to his sons.
As a senior at West Forsyth High School in Clemmons, North Carolina, Paul steered the varsity basketball team to a 27-3 record.
In 2003, he was named Mr. Basketball in North Carolina and was named to the McDonald’s All-American Team.

Paul was traded to the Lakers from the Hornets in a three-team deal that went down in December 2011. Blake Griffin said that the Clippers were “Put on the map” after Paul’s arrival, a reference to how Paul’s presence revitalized the squad. That was the year that the Clippers made the postseason. Before the start of the 2013–14 season, Paul re-signed a five-year, $107 million contract with the Clippers.
Paul made history by appearing in all 82 games in the 2014–15 season. Paul sat out 21 regular season contests in 2016 because of rest or injury.
