"Bodied that dead dynasty"- NBA fans in splits as Chris Paul unfollows Warriors after free agency exit

New San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul is heading back south for his 20th season in the NBA after an underwhelming stint with the Golden State Warriors. After his exit from the team this offseason, Paul has unfollowed them on social media. NBA fans had mixed reactions when 'NBA Alerts' shared the news on X.

"Bodied that dead dynasty," wrote user @StrawHatMark__.

One user speculated that his unfollowing of the Warriors comes after they failed to carry Paul to his elusive first championship.

"Bro said, 'Y'all had one job to get me a ring and you failed,'" wrote @30DubsOnTop.

Another piled on with the 'ringless' trolling, adding a clip of Giannis Antetokounmpo after his championship victory over the Suns in 2021.

"Cp0 will always be ringless," wrote @Giannis_An344.

One user found the perfect opportunity to share a popular GIF of the former Houston Rockets guard, in which he's seen showing what looks like a fake laugh and smile to Warriors coach Steve Kerr and the bench.

Several fans took the opportunity to further drag the Warriors, who are in a state of decline for the first time in a decade following the departure of Paul and former sharpshooter Klay Thompson.

"Warriors downfall is amazing," wrote @LBJ2PHiLA.

And one fan took the opportunity to crown the veteran guard with a new nickname.

"CPetty3," wrote @JonTwoFour.

Paul spent one lone season with the Warriors, who had a loaded backcourt that saw him come off the bench and struggle to acclimate to the team. He averaged just 9.2 points per game, almost half of his career average, despite still playing 26 minutes per game. The Warriors waived him and his $30 million salary for next season last month.

Paul is famous for being one of the best players ever not to win a championship ring, giving fans plenty to grasp onto when looking to poke fun at his career moves. He came closest in 2021, losing to the Milwaukee Bucks during his tenure with the Phoenix Suns.

Chris Paul looking to bounce back with San Antonio Spurs

Chris Paul is now set to join the exciting French phenom Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio, whose production could skyrocket with the seasoned passer running the offense.

Paul has famously lifted the records of many teams he's joined, most notably when he helped bring the Los Angeles Clippers franchise to relevance in the 2010s and carried a rag-tag Oklahoma City Thunder team to the playoffs in 2020.
