I really didn't expect that a player like Paul could not be selected as an All-Star starter? Paul, as the core of the Suns, led the Suns to the 1st place in the league, and his personal performance was also very good, or the god of point guards at that time, why didn't many fans vote for him?
On January 29, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Suns won 134-124 at home to the Timberwolves to win 9 consecutive wins. The Suns are currently in no. 1 in the league with a record of 39 wins and 9 losses, 3.5 wins ahead of the Warriors at no. 2. The Suns have won 81.3 percent so far, the only team in the NBA to win more than 80 percent this season. The Suns' ability to achieve such a good record is inseparable from Paul's excellent performance.
Against the Timberwolves, Paul played 37 minutes, shooting 5 of 9 from 5 of 3-point range, making 21 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists. In the crucial 4th quarter, Paul had 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the single quarter. It was Paul's third triple-double since he was 35.
After winning a triple-double in this game, Paul tied Paul Gasol in a triple-double after the age of 35, ranking third in NBA history in the same period. In second place is Kidd, who has eight triple-doubles since the age of 35. In no. 1 is James, who has scored 14 triple-doubles since the age of 35.
What is the concept of winning 14 triple-doubles after the age of 35? Kidd was 2nd 8 times, tied for 3rd paul and Dajia, 3 times each. The 2nd and 3rd players in NBA history have only won a total of 14 times, just equaling the 14 times james alone!
At that time, many fans said that James's style of play would not work after 30 years old! James is 37 years old this season, and this competitive state is even getting better and better, ushering in the second peak. "Fat Ding Basketball" believes that James should not have much problem playing at a high level to the age of 40, and I don't know how many new records will be created!
