LeBron James Shares Heartwarming Reaction to Chris Paul's Clippers Return Despite New Rivalry originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For his 21st NBA season, 12-time NBA All-Star Chris Paul opted to return to the team he is most often associated with, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Paul’s family, based in LA since Paul was traded to the Clippers from New Orleans in December 2011, was in the front row. While the 40-year-old Paul could choose to end his career after this season, it is not something he is committing to now.

Paul frequently glanced down at his family sitting in the first row — wife Jada, 16-year-old son Chris Jr. and 12-year-old daughter Camryn. They continued living in Los Angeles when he left the Clippers six years ago. That led to watching their father on TV and sharing quick phone conversations before school.
