Even though the NBA Lockout is history, the L.A. Clippers’ all-world point guard Chris Paul has a lot of time on his hands.

How many watches are in your collection?
That’s hard to say because I have so many kinds: G-Shock, sports watches, Jordan watches. But luxury watches, I have 12 that I take everywhere I go.
Why bring them all?
Because I just never know where I’ll be going or what I’ll be wearing.
Do you have a favorite?
A limited-edition Breitling. They only made 3,000, and they gave me number three, which is my number. Cal Ripken got number either.
What’s the most you’ve ever spent on a watch?
Aw, man, I don’t know. Maybe 50 grand or so.
A lot of guys don’t wear watches because they have clocks on their cell phones.
To each his own. Someone may enjoy big open land and someone might buy a horse or something. I enjoy watches.
If you’re a free agent next year, will you come to New York? What if I say please?
[laughs] Ah, man.
