According to US sports media F/W analyst Nico Martinez, the experienced point guard CP3 nostalgic review of his alley city era, calling it one of the most exciting times of his career.
Paul missed his days with the Clippers. Recently, the experienced point guard reviewed the Los Angeles era with Griffin and Jordan, calling it one of the most exciting times of his career and admitting he still missed it. "That's the air-to-city. There are some great years, great times," Paul said. "It's crazy when you think about the game that athleticism and excitement every day. I miss it. Time flies so fast, but it's great to be back home and with your family and back to the Clippers."
Paul is a veteran with 40 years of NBA experience and one of the greatest point guards in the modern NBA. CP3, 40, is no longer the same, but he plans to have a significant impact on the Clippers in his first year of return since 2017. Paul was only 26 years old when he first joined Los Angeles more than 10 years ago and had just entered the prime of his career. Paul led the Clippers to glory in the Western Conference with Jordan and Griffin, making it to the playoffs many times and threatening top contenders like the Spurs and Thunder. The nickname of “Air-City” comes from the team’s ability to connect in amazing aerial relay games, which makes them one of the most exciting and interesting teams of their time.
Sadly, the "Air-City" Clippers never made it to the second round of the playoffs, and the Big Three parted ways before breaking the mediocre cycle. While some blame Rivers, others accuse more personal conflicts of hindering the team’s success. Whatever the reason, the "Air-Catching City" Clippers era ended as quickly as it started, and no one expected Paul to return.
After a dull time for the Rockets, Suns, Thunder and Spurs, Paul finally returned to Los Angeles, ready to continue from where he last stopped. He averaged 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game last season. Although he was unable to lead the Clippers, he could serve as an elite point guard on the bench, establish a second unit and maintain an offense. At least, Paul can share his wisdom and experience in the locker room to help build a championship culture and stimulate the potential of young teammates. Along with Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Bradley Bill, Chris will get a lot of help, and he may have a greater success this year than during the “Lock City” period.
Apparently, for Paul and the Clippers, times have changed, but they still have one last chance to make history together. With a rich lineup and experienced leadership, the Clippers are ready to deliver if they can avoid any consequences of the Aspiration scandal.
So while Paul may not throw a high lob like he did in 2013, his return to Los Angeles is a complete cycle moment for one of the greatest point guards of all time. If he can stabilize the Clippers and give them the leadership they lacked in years, his second return will give the storybook ending that Empty has never received.
