Just today! The 40-year-old Paul created an unprecedented miracle in the 1979 NBA and became the first person in history

In the early morning of November 23, the Clippers challenged the Hornets away from home. Before the start of the game, Paul announced on social media that he would officially retire after the end of this season. This season will be the last dance of his career. Harden entered rampage mode early in the first quarter, scoring 27 points on 9-of-12 shooting in a single quarter, helping the team gain an 8-point lead. The two sides struggled with each other in the second quarter, and the point difference remained at around 10 points. However, as the Clippers suddenly misfired at the end of the quarter, the Hornets took the opportunity to chase the score to 57-62 at halftime. The situation on the field suddenly changed in the second half. The Hornets once closed the point difference to two points, but the Clippers withstood the pressure. They then responded with a 19-4 offensive by their opponents and regained control of the rhythm of the game. After that, the Hornets failed to organize any effective counterattack. In the end, the Clippers won the game 131-116. Just today! The 40-year-old Paul created an unprecedented miracle in the NBA in 1979 and became the first person in history.

The Hornets' Miller made his comeback, scoring 21 points and 3 assists on 8-of-18 shooting. Bridges output a steady output of 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Ball felt cold from beyond the three-point line, scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. No. 4 pick Knupper efficiently scored 26 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 9-of-12 shooting. Kalkbrenner retired from injury early, scoring 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. On the bench, Sexton scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Diabate scored 6 points and 7 rebounds, Sean James scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and McNealy scored 3 points and 6 rebounds. The team's overall offensive firepower was good, but unfortunately they encountered the rampaging Harden today!

For the Clippers, Harden is back to his peak. He scored 55 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists on 17-of-26 shooting. Zubac output a steady output of 18 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Sanders contributed 11 points and 2 assists. Collins scored 10 points and 7 rebounds. Dunn had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. On the bench, Lopez scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Batum scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Christie scored 8 points and 9 rebounds, and Paul scored 3 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.

The reason why the team was able to overtake the score after falling behind by nearly double digits at the beginning and finally win the game was James Harden. However, today when Harden left the court or was double-teamed, Paul's control and organization not only helped Harden get enough rest time, but also prevented the team's offense from getting too stagnant. His contribution was also indispensable.

It is worth mentioning that Paul got 4 rebounds in this game. His career rebounds have reached exactly 6,000. In his career, he has scored 23,036 points, 12,532 assists and 6,000 rebounds. At this point, Paul also created a miracle today that was unprecedented in the 1979 NBA. He became the only player in NBA history to score at least 20,000 points, 12,000 assists, and 6,000 rebounds. Throughout the history of the NBA, there are many all-around point guards. Legendary point guards like Kidd who have over 100 triple-doubles in their career have not been able to achieve it. Now Paul has achieved it. This not only requires maintaining a high level of competitive ability for a long enough time, but also having enough health and appearance rate. Although Paul has never won a championship in his life, this record is enough to prove his greatness!
