Thanks to Chris Paul, Kirk Hinrich no longer holds this infamous playoff record

There's something to be said for making as many postseason appearances as Chris Paul has. The future Hall of Fame point guard has led his team to the playoffs nine times in his 12-year career, including each of the last six seasons with the Clippers.

But Paul hasn't been able to get over the hump of the Western Conference's second round, bowing out in each playoff apperance before making the conference finals. In fact, Paul's Clippers and former New Orleans Hornets are the only two teams not to make the conference finals since 2000.

Sunday afternoon Paul's Clippers bowed out to the Utah Jazz in seven games, marking the 76th playoff game of Paul's career.
