Chris Paul -- a 12-time NBA All-Star and future Hall of Famer -- is officially retiring, bringing an end to an era!
Paul announced his decision on Friday, just shortly after the Toronto Raptors released him following a three-team trade with the Clippers last week.
"This is it," Paul started. "After over 21 years, I'm stepping away from basketball."
"While this chapter of being an 'NBA player' is done, the game of basketball will forever be engrained in the NBA of my life.
