Chris Paul On Starting: Whatever I Can Do To Help Our Team Win

As expected, new Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul was asked at Media Day if it matters to him if he starts or not. Paul was diplomatic in his answer, while reminding everyone that came off the bench for Team USA at the 2008 Olympics.

“I think anybody who knows me knows I’m all about winning,” Paul said. “Whatever I can do to help our team win. I know Coach (Steve Kerr) and us, we are going to talk about it and see what he likes. We’ve been hooping all summer. I think for the season it’s going to be whatever to help our team win, and I think I’ve at least tried to show or prove that my entire career.”

After so many battles against the Warriors throughout his career, Paul never expected to suit up with them. But he’s making the most of the opportunity to be a part of competing for a title.

“I’ve got a friend who always says, ‘When everybody does a little, no one has to do a lot,'” Paul said. “That’s what I hope to bring to this team.”
