Chris Paul is returning to the Los Angeles Clippers, and he received his new jersey in a very unique way.
Paul appeared on “The Tonight Show” on Tuesday evening, and Jimmy Fallon presented Paul with his No. 3 Clippers uniform.
In a video shared on X by Oh No He Didn’t, Paul stated that this was the first time he had seen his jersey.
He looked very happy to get a look at his outfit, and very ready to get to work.

In some ways, this jersey is brand new.
But in other ways, it’s something that Paul is used to.
Of course, Paul has worn No. 3 since joining the league back in 2005, when he was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets.
Throughout his career, he has had that number on his back while with the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, and Golden State Warriors.
And he wore it when he was with the Clippers, from 2011 to 2017.
To many, his years in LA were the highlight of his career, and he was named an All-Star five times in a row.
It’s unlikely that he will reach such heights again during his second run with the Clippers, but Paul is still intending to do big things next season.
He’s much older now, and he might not get as many minutes as he once did, but Paul could still be a pivotal part of the team in 2025-26.
Will he play after that?
There are a lot of people wondering if this will be his final season in the NBA.
If it is, he will retire in a city and with a fanbase that still loves him very much.
