Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook Go Viral With Retirement Video

Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook posted a playful retirement reminder on Instagram on September 1: the recently retired point guards were seen aboard a yacht, using a hoop set on the deck to toss alley-oops and finish at the rim. Paul’s caption was a single word, “Retirement…,” and the clip quickly drew major NBA attention. Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant reacted in the comments, calling them “Point Gods,” referencing their shared history with the Oklahoma City Thunder/Seattle SuperSonics organization. Paul’s retirement came months earlier, while Westbrook ended an 18-season career on August 12. The post underscores their competitiveness hasn’t cooled.
