George is an eight-time All-Star and also the 2013 Most Improved Player. He made history at Fresno State as their highest-ever draft pick in 2010. When he switched his jersey from No. 24 to No. 13 in 2014, this led to the new nickname “PG-13”. During his time with the Indiana Pacers, George played an important role in their back-to-back Eastern Conference Finals appearances from 2012 to 2014. However, after a devastating compound fracture in his leg in 2014, he was sidelined for a significant part of the upcoming season. He was later traded to the OKC Thunder in 2017, where he tried to make a comeback, as “Playoff P”, a nickname he gave himself before the Thunder played the Jazz in the first round.

I work extremely hard on improving and getting better. But for me, it’s just the mentality—going back to having that 22, 23-year-old mentality at 33 of, every time I’m on the floor, I’m there to dominate and just be the best player on the floor at all times”. Paul said. In his recent Twitch stream, he also mentioned he intends to be on his “bully sh*t” this upcoming season.
