Chris Paul turned 34 earlier this year, although the former All-Star still has three year's remaining on his huge four-year $160 million contract.

Steve Nash took really good care of his body. Bron takes really good care of his body. The biggest thing all those guys have in common is discipline. I’m 34.

Paul was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder earlier this summer after spending the past two seasons with the Houston Rockets. During the 18-19 season, the point guard averaged 15.6 points and 8.2 assists, while James is still widely considered as the NBA's best player as he embarks on his 18th season in the league.
