LeBron James capitalizes on Paul George’s mistake

In the latest episode of Podcast P, Paul George was asked about how he felt after getting dunked over by the Akron Hammer. To describe his situation, he used an old saying “What starts f***ed up, usually ends f***ed up.” George then narrates the situation of how he messed up the play when AD deflected the ball due to which LeBron James got it and went full speed down the court. He explained, “Usually Bron gives it up to get it back, right? So I see he’s not giving it up. So, my next train of thought is like let me try to pick him up a little earlier. But at the same time, it’s like ‘I gotta get ready to absorb the contact too’.
