In his 20th year, Chris Paul made NBA history by starting all 82 games with the San Antonio Spurs, becoming the first player to accomplish this feat so late in his career. At almost 40 years old, Paul joins a select group of players who have managed to appear in all 82 games in a season at his age, a list that includes John Stockton and Michael Jordan.
Paul's consistency on the court was evident as he helped the Spurs secure a victory against the Toronto Raptors after a 22-point comeback. With Paul, Mikal Bridges, Jaden McDaniels, Jalen Green, Jarrett Allen, and Harrison Barnes among the six players who started all 82 games this season, the Spurs also boasted a trio of players who appeared in every game, a rare occurrence not seen since the 2017-18 Timberwolves. Paul's longevity in the league puts him in elite company, with LeBron James poised to break records by potentially playing 23 seasons.
