Spurs' Chris Paul, in 20th season, makes history with 82 starts

In Year 20, Chris Paul started all 82. And he made some NBA history in the process.

Paul was in the San Antonio Spurs' starting lineup for their season finale Sunday, making him the first player to ever make 82 starts this deep into a career. The previous mark on that front was held by Utah's John Stockton, who started all 82 games in his 19th and final season.

Paul -- who turns 40 in less than a month -- is one of three players to have a season with 82 appearances at his age.
