Episode 148: Paul George

The Old Man and the Three with JJ Redick and Tommy Alter

We are thrilled to share this amazing conversation with our guest, Los Angeles Clippers star, Paul George. There is so much discussed on this episode and we really appreciate his willingness to be open and candid about a lot of things. Topics include: His take on Nikola Jokic and what makes him such a dominant force, The Clippers being the 'poster-child' for the NBA's load management issue and why blaming it all on the players is wrong, trying to develop a rhythm with The Clippers team given how little the team has actually played together, how much he loves playing with Kawhi Leonard and the confidence he brings to a team, why Paul George feels like he was overlooked in high school, his early days as an Indiana Pacers and how he earned the trust to lead that team, how he improved his game in Indy, reflecting on that 3-4 year stretch where The Pacers with Roy Hibbert, David West, George Hill were a legit threat in the Eastern Conference, how they feel that Pacers team changed the modern NBA, Paul shares his best Lance Stephenson stories, the moment Paul George burst into superstardom by blowing by LeBron James and The Miami Heat, describing the challenge of beating LeBron and The Heatles in a 4-game series and how putting Chris Bosh at the 5 spot changed everything that series, his time with Russell Westbrook on The Oklahoma City Thunder and how Paul came to his own conclusion that he could likely not be the best player on a Championship team after his injury, the mental toll it took for PG to come back from that injury and so much more.
