DeAndre Jordan was once among the best centers in the NBA when he played for the Los Angeles Clippers (with Chris Paul).

Recently, Paul signed a deal to return to the Clippers.

Via The LA Clippers (on Instagram): "HOM3️⃣."

Jordan and Paul helped form one of the most exciting teams in recent NBA history (from 2011-17).

Therefore, fans will likely enjoy seeing him show love to the signing.

Via @cp3region: "All-Stars that had their best scoring season next to Chris Paul:

— 2008 Tyson Chandler
— 2009 David West
— 2016 Deandre Jordan
— 2019 James Harden"

Paul finished last year with averages of 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 42.7% from the field and 37.7% from the three-point range in 82 games for the San Antonio Spurs.

He will be an intriguing addition to the Clippers' bench for the 2025-26 season.

Via StatMuse: "All-time win percentage:

.786 — Chris Paul and James Harden as a duo
.740 — KD Warriors
.708 — 90s Bulls"
