Christopher Emmanuel Paul (born May 6, 1985) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays point guard for the New Orleans Hornets of the NBA. His nickname is CP3. He has averaged 30 points and 10 assists three times (all in 2008) in the NBA playoffs.
The 2007-08 season brought the full return of the Hornets to the city of New Orleans. Paul averaged 21.1 points and 4 rebounds[5], and led the NBA in steals with 2.71 a game and assists with 11.6 a game.[6] He was selected by NBA coaches to play in the 2008 NBA All-Star Game which was hosted by the city of New Orleans, thereby fufilling his vow of the previous season. Paul's teammate David West was named as an All-Star reserve and Hornets coach Byron Scott coached the Western Conference All-Stars.
During All-Star Weekend, Paul participated again in the 2008 All-Star Playstation Skills Challenge winning the first round but losing in the final round to Deron Williams. Paul sparked a 4th quarter comeback for the Western Conference in the All-Star Game, but the East held on to win 134-128. He finished the game with 16 points, 14 assists and 5 steals.
Paul continued his stellar play following the All Star game, leading the New Orleans Hornets to one of the best records in the West. After a 37 point, 13 assist, and 3 steal performance by Paul against the Chicago Bulls on March 17th, 2008, Paul led a 4th quarter comeback win[7], the Hornets ascended to the top of the standings in the Western Conference. On April 4, 2008, Chris Paul helped the Hornets clinch a playoff spot for the first time since the 2003-04 season. The Hornets ultimately finished the season with a 56-26 record, the best record in team history, and finished #2 overall in the NBA Western Conference standings. Paul ended the season leading the NBA with 11.6 assists and 2.71 steals per game[6], and registered a steal in all 80 games he played in.[5]
In Paul's first NBA playoff game against the Dallas Mavericks, he scored 35 points, with 24 coming in the second half[8], along with 10 assists and 4 steals.[9] In Game 2, he scored 32 points and set a franchise playoff-record 17 assists, leading the Hornets to a 127-103 victory to go 2-0 against Dallas.[10] After splitting Games 3 and 4 in Dallas, the Hornets eliminated the Mavericks, 4-1, in Game 5 for their first ever playoff series victory behind a 24 point, 11 rebound, and 15 assist performance from Paul.[11]
