CHRIS Paul has confirmed that he intends to keep playing in the NBA next season.

The point guard is in his 20th season in the league and is set to turn 40 next month.

Despite his veteran status, CP3 has started all 77 of the San Antonio Spurs' games.

Paul is set to be a free agent at the end of the season, having signed a one-year, $10,460,000 contract last summer.

Speaking to Anscape, the Point God confirmed that he is not done just yet.

"I’ll be 40 in May. So, yeah man, I’m going to keep playing, I think,” Paul said. "At the end of every season, I evaluate everything.

"Evaluate playing. Evaluate how my body feels. But the more years that go by, it’s more conversations with my family, with my kids.

"They have a lot of say so. They got a lot of input."

Paul is the second-longest serving player in the NBA, having been drafted by New Orleans in 2005.

Of active players, only LeBron James has been in the league longer than CP3.

"Obviously, I got a lot of homies, friends that have retired or whatnot," Paul added. "And they are always like, ‘Man, play as long as you possibly can. Play as long as you possibly can.’

"And I appreciate that. But I also, I just always want to talk to my kids about it because that’s the most important job that I have.
