Chris Paul said on his 40th birthday: He has not considered retirement yet; but he is already on the agenda

On May 7, NBA guard star Chris Paul was interviewed by a reporter from the famous American sports media "Open-Air Stand" on the occasion of his 40th birthday, and publicly responded to the focus of whether he would choose to retire: "

Yes, I didn't expect that I was 40 years old in the blink of an eye, and finally came to say goodbye to my basketball career. I have always been focusing on this great sport in the NBA and liked and enjoyed competition very much, but it was really time to part. I have so much reluctance to leave. I haven't decided whether to retire yet, but it's already on my agenda. I will finally discuss it with my family this summer and make it The final decision! "

" It's just a very regretful thing. I have always hoped to win a championship ring with LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Obviously this wish is getting farther and farther away. Maybe life will always give you an unsatisfactory moment. I still don't regret choosing basketball as my goal, leaving behind my youth, passion and the best time here! "
