CP3: Lack of title negatively impacting daughter at school

12-time All-Star's lack of NBA title has negatively impacted daughter in school

Future Hall-of-Famer Chris Paul recently revealed that his elementary school-aged daughter is having some trouble with her classmates, thanks to CP3's lack of an NBA title.

Paul is one of the best players in league history without a championship, having collected 12 All-Star appearances, 11 All-NBA honors and nine All-Defensive nods. From his days with the "Lob City" Los Angeles Clippers to teaming up with James Harden and the Houston Rockets and his most recent runs with Devin Booker (and now Kevin Durant) with the Phoenix Suns, Paul has been a part of multiple championship-caliber squads but hasn't yet hoisted a Larry O'Brien Trophy.

The former Rookie of the Year's latest golden opportunity at a title seemed to be coming this spring with Booker, Durant and Deandre Ayton in Phoenix, but after a five-game series win in the first round of the playoffs, the Suns were eliminated in the Western Conference semifinals in six games by the Denver Nuggets. Paul suffered yet another postseason injury, with his campaign coming to a premature close during Game 2 against Denver thanks to a groin strain.

The former No. 4 overall pick out of Wake Forest may be running out of time to earn a championship ring, as he turned 38 in May and will be entering his 19th season in the fall. Paul's made the playoffs 15 times with five different teams in his career, yet has only made the conference finals twice and the NBA Finals once.
