Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook both retired from the NBA this year. After a former player revealed they will be celebrating on vacation together, fans on social media had a lot to say.
Two of the greatest point guards in NBA history retired in 2026. Chris Paul made his announcement after the Los Angeles Clippers released him in the middle of the season.
Russell Westbrook generated a lot of noise when he announced his decision to call it quits in August. For a lot of young fans who grew up on the NBA of the 2010s, a league without these stars is unthinkable.
It seems that Westbrook and Paul themselves know what a monumental moment this is. While the two were traded for one another in 2019, they were never teammates. But reportedly, they will still celebrate together.

“They have been on vacation for years not helping their teams,” a different comment read. “You know it’s the offseason when these are the reports that are coming out,” a sixth fan hilariously said.
