Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul's body is feeling good thanks to his new vegan diet.

Paul, who made the All-Star team this season for the first time since 2016, says he wants to play at least 20 seasons in the NBA:

“Especially the way that my body feels now, I definitely probably at least want to play at least 20 years,” Paul said, via NBC Sports.

Paul is averaging 17.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists on the season for the Thunder. He’s shooting 48.9 percent from the field, 36.9 percent from beyond the arc and 89.5 percent from the free-throw line.

The Thunder are 34-22 on the season. They are in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, a position no pundit saw OKC getting to before the season started. Most experts thought the Thunder would have a “rebuilding type” record after losing stars Russell Westbrook and Paul George in the same offseason.

However, Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have been clicking on all cylinders thus far. Hopefully, the Thunder don’t falter after the All-Star break. Basketball fans what to see Paul, SGA and Co. in the postseason.

Paul has two years left on his monster contract after the 2019-20 season ends. He’ll make $41,358,814 in 2020-21 and has a player option worth $44,211,146 for the 2021-22 season.
