Today, I want to talk about two guys, Paul and George. No, not the Beatles’ members, haha. I mean the NBA players, Paul George. I followed these two for a while and I’ve got some interesting stuff to share.
So, first, I dug into why Paul George decided to re-sign in 2018. Turns out, his bromance with Russell Westbrook was a big deal. I saw this picture of a party at Westbrook’s place, like 500 people, crazy lights, music blasting. That’s the vibe that kept George hooked, I guess.
Then, I started looking at the teams George played for. He’s been with the Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and now the Los Angeles Clippers. Dude’s an eight-time NBA All-Star, so clearly, he’s got skills.
The LA Clippers Move
This is where it got really interesting. I found out that the Clippers signed both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. That’s a power move! People were saying they were building something special, and it looked like it, too.
I spent hours comparing them to other famous NBA duos, like LeBron and Anthony Davis. Some folks were even calling Leonard and George one of the best duos for the 2019-20 season. That’s a big claim!
All-Star and All-NBA Honors
- Eight-time NBA All-Star: 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023
- All-NBA First Team: 2019
- All-NBA Second Team: 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018
I put these achievements in a list because, man, that’s a lot of recognition. George isn’t just a team player; he’s a standout star.
The George and LeBron Thing
This part surprised me. George almost teamed up with LeBron James. Imagine that! They ended up in the same building, playing for different teams, but still, what a near miss.
I found this quote from George about LeBron, something like, “Regardless of the battles we had I’m still looking at him like, that’s Bron!” It shows the respect these guys have for each other, even as rivals.
So, after gathering all this info, I wrote it down, organized it, and now I’m sharing it with you all. It’s cool to see how these players’ careers intertwine and the impact they have on the game. And you know what? This whole process made me appreciate the sport and these players even more.
