The top ten strongest teammates Paul has ever worked with in his career

As one of the most representative point guards in modern times, Chris Paul has a long NBA career. On the long journey, he has always been surrounded by star-studded partners. These names are not only engraved in Paul's career, but also in the era of their cooperation with Paul, but are actually classic memories of many fans.

Around Paul's "Top Ten Strongest Teammates" in his career, the author focuses on the peak of personal strength, the actual influence when working with Paul, and the team height they have reached together. He travels through the time corridor and counts the strongest teammates Paul has ever partnered with.

1. James Harden:

Cooperation background: The two top ball-holding cores in the league teamed up historicly, shocking the league.

Cooperation performance: Harden was an MVP-level ball-holding attacker. The two of them jointly drove the firepower of the top teams in history, and the "Light Bulb Combination" is extremely powerful. Paul provides key ball, defense and organizational stability to share Harden's pressure. The 2018 Western Conference Finals leads the Warriors 3-2 as the peak of cooperation.

Team height: 65 wins in the league in 2018, and lost to the final champion of the Warriors. This is one of the closest moments in Paul's career to the finals (or even the championship). The collaboration between Paul and Harden was the pinnacle dialogue in the art of ball control, but unfortunately it eventually became a tragic song with unfulfilled ambitions.

2. Kevin Durant (Sun)

Cooperation background: In 2023, Paul welcomes the strongest scorer from Harden. In terms of pure strength, Durant at this time slightly declined compared to his peak, and is still a historical offensive killer.

Cooperation performance: Durant's unsolved singles combined with Paul's control provide the Suns with the most reliable hard solution at critical moments. Paul's threading makes Durant's offense more efficient.

Team height: The cooperation is short but the power is beginning to show, and I regretfully lost the second round of the 2023 playoffs. This combination of "Master of Field Control + God of Death" carries the highest expectations for Phoenix City to win the championship.

3. Stephen Curry (Warriors)

Cooperation background: Join the Super Battleship in his late years, with clear goals - the championship.

Cooperation performance: The compatibility of the two historical point guards is questionable, the on-field chemistry needs to be run-in, Paul plays more roles in the bench leader, and the data has dropped significantly (9.2 points and 6.8 assists).

Team height: The Warriors' overall competitiveness has not met expectations, and Paul's dream of winning is undecided. The joining forces between the two masters is a collision of smart basketball and the final impact of Paul's career on the O'Brien Cup.

4. Devin Booker (Sun)

Cooperation background: Paul joins the Sun directly from the bottom of the fish to the finals stage, with the highest partner among the cooperative stars.

Cooperation performance: Paul releases Booker's offensive firepower, elevating him to a top shooting guard and key gentleman. Booker became Paul's most trusted outside terminator. The two-person pick-and-roll and mid-range match are perfect.

Team height: Entering the finals in 2021 set a team history record, winning 64 wins in 2022, and ranking in the top ranks in the Western Conference for many years. Paul and Booker are the perfect inheritance of mentors and disciples, and they are also the dual engines of Phoenix City's revival.

5. Blake Griffin (Clippers)

Cooperation background: Paul joins completely change the Clippers and forms one of the most ornamental and powerful pick-and-roll combinations in the league with Griffin.

Cooperation performance: "Gliffen" violent aesthetics has been sublimated by Paul's precise delivery, and at the same time, it has developed medium-distance and support capabilities. The two tacitly led the Clippers' gorgeous style of playing.

Team height: He has entered the playoffs many times, but although he has not broken through the Western Conference Finals, "Air-Chain" has become the mark of the times. The air connection between Paul and Griffin is an eternal classic of basketball violent aesthetics and a classic memory of our generation of fans watching.

6. David West (Hornets)

Cooperation performance: Paul's most stable and reliable inside star partner in his early career. West's solid mid-range and basket skills are Paul's first choice for passing the ball after pick-and-roll.

Team height: The two are the core of the rise of the Hornets (now Pelicans). They won 56 wins in 2008 and reached the Western Conference semi-finals, fighting seven games with the defending champion Spurs. Paul's career-high average of 11.6 assists per game (2007-08 season) is the result of his tacit cooperation with West.

7. Tyson Chandler (Hornets):

Cooperation performance: Played early career highlights by Paul, becoming an all-connection threat and defensive gate, the best blue-collar center. For players with the same function, I think the boxing champion who works with Paul is stronger than Jordan, who has better honors on paper.

Team height: The key inside pillar that beat the Hornets 56 in 2008, and its pick-and-roll with Paul is one of the team's offensive weapons.

8. DeAndre Jordan (Clippers)

Cooperation performance: Paul achieved the peak of Jordan Jr., feeding him into a defense center and rebounding king/blocking king. Jordan Jr. is the ultimate beneficiary of Paul's pick-and-roll tactics and the inside barrier.

Team height: As one of the core trio of "Air Connection City", Jordan Jr. reached the peak of personal honor around Paul and was the cornerstone of the Clippers' all-year competitiveness.

9. Clint Capela (Rockets):

Cooperation performance: Paul (and Harden)'s excellent "cake king" relies on his super cake eating ability and frontcourt rebounds as he is in the Rockets system.

Team height: As the starting center of the Rockets and the Western Conference Finals team 65, Capela is the key gear for the efficient operation of the dual-core drive system..

10, Jamal Crawford (Clippers)

Cooperation performance: Crawford won two best sixth players during his cooperation with Paul, and ranked in the top five in the NBA sixth player every year; considering that there are many inside players, the author chose the last player as the goalkeeper in Aiton, Vinbanyama and Crawford in this position.

Team height: As one of the core players of "Air Connection City", Crawford was the strongest sixth player in the league at that time and one of the guarantees of the Clippers' competitiveness throughout the year. The connection stage was to score points in chaos.

The biggest partner regret:

In Paul's legendary career, there is another "unfinished" starlight that cannot be ignored - Kobe Bryant. The 2011 deal that was rejected by the league could have allowed two paranoid fighters and super defenders who have the ultimate desire for victory to join forces. The combination of Paul and Kobe has unparalleled dominance in imagination. This failed collaboration has become the eternal "if" in the hearts of countless fans.
