Clark led the Fever to the WNBA playoffs just one season after they were the worst team in the Eastern Conference.

They lost to the Connecticut Sun in two games.

As for Paul, he is one of the greatest point guards in NBA history.

The 2006 Rookie of The Year is going into his 20th season (and first playing for the San Antonio Spurs).

They will begin the season on October 24 when they visit the Dallas Mavericks.
