What does retirement for Chris Paul look like? Man, I definitely wanna be on an ownership group. It's a few reasons, but one of 'em is like my love for the game. Draymond, you like me, we try to get back to LA and see our family as much as possible. I done missed so much of my kids' lives that everybody be like, "Oh, you gonna be a coach." I coach AAU. I do that now. But I actually wanna be present for some of the stuff that my kids have going on. And the reason why I wanna be in ownership is because you have an opportunity to impact in a lot of different ways. For playing for so long and on so many teams, I've had a front-class seat in the CBA negotiations to see what this team does right, what this team does right. Been in the locker room for this long, so you see how a lot of the most successful teams, there's a bond that's necessary. Mm-hmm. I wanna continue to dive into different investments. And I got a production company, a cricket team, AAA team in my hometown, different things that I've been trying to get invested in, but I just can't sit still.
