Can you average 6 points and 6 assists per game? Paul played 21 years, the seventh player in history, and James was 26+7+8 in 21 years!

Paul has been playing in the NBA for 20 years, second only to James in the current service. He is also the oldest player in the league and in the current service. After signing a $3.6 million a year contract with the Clippers, Paul will usher in his 21st season in his career, which will be his last season. Paul has previously announced that he will retire at most one more season.

It is worth mentioning that, including James, there are only 6 players in history who have reached their 21st season, and Paul will become the 7th player to achieve this feat. However, in addition to James, the other players who have reached their 21st season have basically become role players, and their personal data are also very average.

Only James can still play data that is almost the same as his peak period in his 21st season, and average 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game, which is higher than the other five players combined. Not only that, last season was the 22nd season of James' career, and he still averaged 24 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game. Apart from James, only Carter is playing until his 22nd year, and Paul will miss this.

Although Paul still has a certain strength, there is still a big gap compared to James of the same period. Last season, Paul maintained full attendance in the regular season and averaged 8.8 points and 7.4 assists per game. Although the score was not high, he still ranked among the top in the league in assists per game, which is also very good.

Next season, as the team's tactical status further grows, Paul's data should continue to decline. After Paul joined the Clippers, he could only serve as a substitute, and his playing time and ball rights would be reduced, but he should still be able to play 6 points and 6 assists per game. As long as he can perform like this, Paul can also provide great help to the Clippers.

It is also worth mentioning that every time Paul joins a new team in his career, the team's winning rate can be significantly improved. At the beginning, when joining the Hornets, the winning rate was directly increased from 22.0% to 46.3%. After joining the Clippers, the winning rate increased from 39.0% to 60.6%. After joining the Rockets, it can still increase to 79.3% from 67.1%. When it comes to the Thunder, the winning rate will also be increased from 59.8% to 61.1%. After joining the Suns, the winning rate has changed from 46.6% to 70.8%, joining the Warriors has changed from 53.7% to 56.1%, and joining the Spurs has changed from 26.8% to 41.5%.

The Clippers just scored 50 wins last season, with a winning rate of 61.0%. After Paul joins, the Clippers' winning rate should also increase. The Clippers didn't know that they had got Paul, and they also got Lopez, Collins, and Bill. It is a high probability that the winning rate will increase next season.
