Speaking to Dwyane Wade on his podcast, The Why with Dwayne Wade, Paul was asked if his career would feel complete if he retired without winning an NBA title. He explained that while he still believes he will win a championship, he is content with his career arc.

"Straight up, even though I think I'm going to win a championship before I'm done, yes, absolutely," Paul said. "I can't even process not winning a championship, but I love what I've been able to do with my career, absolutely.

"I probably was a lot more stressed about that once upon a time, but it's crazy how things change, life changes," the 38-year-old continued.

Paul claims that with experience, the idea of winning a ring is not the only thing on his mind.

"Like, my kids and my family are extremely important, but I don't know, man, just to still be able to play the game, it's crazy here at year 19, but at year 12, something else might have been on my mind. At year 19 now, I'm in the locker room, and I'm trying to give my teammates, some of them, just trying to tell them about perspective and not taking it for granted," Paul added.

Paul averages 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game in 32 appearances for the Warriors this season.
