Iguodala’s Warriors legacy lives on as Chris Paul embraces bench role

Last night a future Hall-of-Famer who had been featured in starting lineups his whole career came off the bench and made a huge impact for the Golden State Warriors in a close game. Let me know if you’ve heard this before.

Chris Paul played as a reserve for the first time in his career, helping the Dubs knock off the Rockets in a fun contest. In 27 minutes CP3 had 8 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists.

Keep in mind that when he was first traded to the Warriors, this next clip of him responding comedically to the question of him coming off the bench felt a potential red flag to suspicious Dub Nation members who had watched Paul antagonize Golden State for several years.
