Warriors' Chris Paul to Join ESPN as NBA Analyst for 2024 Eastern Conference Finals

Golden State Warriors point guard and 12-time All-Star Chris Paul will serve as a pregame and halftime guest analyst on ESPN and ABC's NBA Countdown panel during the Eastern Conference Finals, per an official announcement from the network.

ESPN made the announcement Tuesday during The Walt Disney Company's Upfront.

The four-time All-NBA first team member joins a panel that includes host Malika Andrews and analysts Stephen A. Smith, Bob Myers and Michael Wilbon. ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski also appears on the show.

The 39-year-old Paul just completed his 19th NBA season and first with the Warriors. He averaged 9.2 points, 6.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game. The NBA 75th Anniversary Team member's accolades also include two gold medals with Team USA at the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics and seven placements on the NBA All-Defensive First Team.

The Eastern Conference Finals will begin on Tuesday, May 21 against two to-be-determined opponents.

The Boston Celtics will likely be one of them thanks to their 3-1 Eastern Conference semifinals series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the best-of-seven matchup.

In the other half of the bracket, the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are tied at two games apiece.
