Buoyed by his father, Deon George, a former basketball player in the Swiss League, the youngster fell in love with the sport. He showed impressive skills right in his formative years when he helped the Switzerland U16 team to the national championship in 2016. George moved to France’s Élan Chalon to hone his skills in a much tougher environment, then eventually moved to the USA and joined the Miami Hurricanes to play at the collegiate level.

He made it to the NBA when he was selected as the 24th overall pick by the New York Knicks in the 2024 NBA Draft and was immediately traded to the Washington Wizards. He hasn’t looked back since then, gradually honing his skills in a struggling team while also improving his net worth.
