Chris Paul was recently added to the Los Angeles Clippers roster for the upcoming NBA season. He appears ready for his final run with the franchise in pursuit of a championship. However, when he first saw his new jersey, he couldn’t hold back his emotions.
After spending six seasons wearing number 3, Paul returned with a clear goal: to win an NBA title with the Clippers. Early in his career, he had a positive experience with the team. Now, he’s back, embracing a second chance to shine with the franchise that was his first home in the NBA.
A new chance with the Clippers
According to Bolavip, Paul’s first stint with the Clippers was highly successful, as he led the team to the playoffs six times. However, they never captured the NBA title. Now, he gets another shot, and fans are thrilled to see him back with his original team.

Paul saw his new Clippers jersey for the first time during Tuesday’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” When he saw it, he couldn’t hide his excitement. He’ll once again wear his iconic number 3, a moment that brought a big smile to his face, clearly showing how happy he was.
Without a doubt, his decision to return home was a great one. According to NBA reports, Bradley Beal, formerly with the Phoenix Suns, offered Paul the number 3 jersey as soon as he heard about Paul’s return. It was a gesture of respect and camaraderie, highlighting the kind of support Paul will receive from his team this upcoming season.
