Christopher Emmanuel Paul (born May 6, 1985, in Lewisville, North Carolina) is a professional athlete in the National Basketball Association. Paul was selected by the New Orleans Hornets in the first round of the 2005 NBA Draft with the fourth overall pick, and is currently the team's starting point guard. The 20-year-old Paul is currently leading all rookies in points, assists, steals, and minutes. Chris was also named Rookie of the Month in both November 2005 and January 2006, and is considered by most to be the eventual winner of the 2006 NBA Rookie of the Year Award.

Paul played at West Forsyth High School, where he was a 2003 McDonald's All-American and was named North Carolina's Mr. Basketball for 2003 by the Charlotte Observer. While in a game during high school, Paul scored 61 points in honor of his deceased grandfather.

Chris attended Wake Forest University from 2003-2005, and played under coach Skip Prosser. Paul was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year for the 2003-2004 season. He was named the 2004-05 ACC Preseason Player of the Year and Associated Press Preseason National Player of the Year, and was a consensus first-team All-American in 2005. While at Wake Forest, he tallied career totals of 948 points, 395 assists, and 160 steals. Chris has been nicknamed CP3, a combination of his initals and jersey number.

Chris has helped to turn around the New Orleans Hornets and has transformed them from last year's basement dweller to contenders for a 2006 Playoff spot.
