Paul was with the Thunder for one season and played a huge role in helping the young players on the roster (including Gilgeous-Alexander).

That season (2020), they shockingly made the NBA playoffs as the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

"I try not to get emotional when I talk about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. That was my first year living without my wife and kids. He’s so good when it comes to hooping, and an even better person.”
