Following Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul's announcement that he will retire after this season, Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James took to social media to celebrate the NBA star.

LeBron posted a photo of Chris Paul on his Instagram story, captioned, "Point God!!! It's been a helluva ride." Throughout his 21 seasons in the league, Paul has never played on the same NBA team as James. However, they have been teammates on the U.S. Olympic teams, winning gold medals together for Team USA at the 2008 and 2012 Summer Games.

The two NBA legends will face off on November 25 during group play of the NBA Cup, as the Clippers visit the Crypto.com Arena to take on the Lakers.
