Chris Paul spent his 20th NBA season playing a key role on a young San Antonio Spurs team.

He was also able to team up with Victor Wembanyama (who is expected to be a future MVP).

Recently, Paul spoke about the All-Star center in an interview with Pat McAfee.

Paul: "Wemby is different. He's different. Being 7-foot-4, able to move the way that he does, and he just loves the game. He loves to hoop. I think the Spurs are going to be great."

Wembanyama finished his second NBA season with averages of 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.8 blocks per contest while shooting 47.6% from the field and 35.2% from the three-point range in 46 games.

Via NBA History (on Christmas): "Victor Wembanyama becomes the first player in NBA history to record 40+ points, 15+ rebounds, 5+ 3PM and 4+ blocks in a game. "
