Chris Paul is back at the top of his game with Oklahoma City Thunder

Chris Paul has always been one of the best point guards in the NBA, and he is reminding everyone of that as he turns Oklahoma City Thunder into one of the bests in the Western Conference.

Being with Oklahoma City Thunder has been good to Paul as he got back into being an All-Star after an absence of three years.

And, as Paul will undoubtedly continue to lead the Thunder as the NBA 2019-2020 season resumes on July 30, the 34-year-old should also make it back to the All-NBA list as this season, so far, is undoubtedly one of his bests.

A testament to Paul being one of the best point guards in the NBA is that he had always been named into the All-NBA from 2008 to 2016, not counting the 2009-2010 season wherein he only played 45 games after suffering an injury.

Paul has played a huge role in where the Thunder is currently in. They are on the fifth spot in the West with a win-loss record of 40-24, an identical record to Paul's previous team, the Houston Rockets, where his partnership with James Harden did not quite take off.

The Thunder owes a lot to Chris Paul's performance in the clutch. They have played 42 clutch games with 29 of those going their way, all thanks to Paul.

Paul averaged 3.4 points while shooting 53.5 percent from the field in the clutch season. And, Paul is also shooting 93.5 percent from the free-throw line in the clutch.

With the Thunder, Paul is playing his usual role of commandeering the offense and maximizing everyone else around him. This, he wasn't able to do in Houston with Harden around.

With Paul on the floor, the Thunder's net rating is (plus-6.8 in 2,003 minutes), their best. And, when Paul is on the bench, the Thunder's net rating is at its worst (minus-5.4 in 1,098 minutes).

Considering what he has done for Oklahoma City Thunder this season, no doubt Chris Paul should be taken back into the All-NBA list for season 2019-2020.
