After calling time on his 21-season NBA career in February 2026, Chris Paul found a new way to leave his mark on basketball 👀
This time, he helped the Golden State Valkyries chase a championship.
CP3 was heavily involved behind the scenes, attending practices, film sessions, and individual workouts while sharing his knowledge with the team.
His impact didn't go unnoticed.
WNBA Finals MVP Gabby Williams credited Paul with helping the Valkyries improve defensively and break down film, giving players another valuable perspective throughout their championship run 🙌
Chris B. Haynes even described Paul as a “de facto” assistant coach for Golden State.
He was also there to witness the payoff, watching from the sidelines as the Valkyries won the 2026 WNBA championship in Game 7.
And perhaps the best moment came during the celebration, when head coach Natalie Nakase made sure to thank him on the court.
There's a full-circle story behind that moment.
Nakase previously coached Paul during his time with the Clippers.
Now, years later, they were celebrating a championship together in a completely different league.
Chris Paul may have retired as a player, but his impact on the game clearly isn't over. 💜🏆
So my fiancé got me an early birthday present to see Jaÿ-z last night for night one of his 3 day set. And this is my third time overall seeing him live and I can honestly say by far this was the best concert I’ve ever attended. #RD30#jayz
@Info4Days I remember when these sat on shelves when they first released, I was able to get a pair for $100 lol, one of my favorite colorways in the 3s since they are in that true blue kinda of color blocking
