Clippers veteran Paul accepted an exclusive interview with famous journalist Marc Spears this week.

When asked if he was still looking forward to winning the championship, Paul responded: "Obviously, this would be the ideal result. But I feel like when I come to training every day now, my mentality is no longer 'Oh, we have to... (win the championship)'. After so many years of practice and so much experience, I will be more dedicated. Focus on the present and think about whether we are developing the right habits. As long as we develop the right habits, everything else will fall into place. In the past, there may have been teams like this where you would just say, 'Yes, we have to do this (win the championship)', but now I think the important thing is the journey itself."
