Chris Paul Drops Major Bombshell In Announcing Five-Word Future originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There is a great deal of speculation as to why all-time NBA star Chris Paul has been holding out before signing a contract. Is the market not yet there? Is he weighing multiple opportunities? Or, how about this bombshell hint from CP3 himself?

After two decades of brilliance, Hall of Fame-bound point guard Chris Paul has officially announced that the 2025–26 NBA season will be his last. Speaking at a recent event, the 12-time All-Star opened up about his future and the emotional decision to end his legendary career after one final campaign.

Though Paul isn't the All-Star-caliber player he once was, he's continued to contribute over the past few seasons. Last year with the San Antonio Spurs, he started all 82 games and put up 8.8 points, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
