Paul spent his final season with the San Antonio Spurs, where he used his years of experience to mentor the young star Victor Wembanyama. His retirement marks the end of an incredible career for a player who truly mastered the art of being a point guard.
The veteran recently appeared on the Pat McAfee Show to reminisce about the culture in San Antonio. He shared a viral story about Wembanyama’s unique habits, noting that while most young players today are always on their phones or social media, “Vic” often walks into the training room carrying a book to read.
This simple hobby, along with his deep knowledge of basketball history, left the 20-year veteran “in awe” of the young superstar’s maturity.
