Smith asked George a troubling question as part of his earlier this year's shenanigans with Paul George. Recently, Paul George made an appearance on The Stephen A. Smith Show. The two got together to talk about many aspects of life, the impending NBA season, Paul George's new podcast, "The P Show," and other topics. Smith wasted no time in asking Paul George a blunt inquiry about the causes of his championship drought early on in their talk. George, who was used to Smith's candour, immediately offered his opinion.
“The only thing i can answer to that is just unfortunate events. And for me its just been injuries. Every chance and opportunity that I’ve had, since Indiana, has fallen short because of an injury. People don’t know the Utah series my first year in Okhlahoma, I had partial torn meniscus. My game started to decline as the medicine was wearing off. You watch the end of that series, I was barely moving, I was barely creating separation on stuff. Just coz I couldn’t move anymore at that point.”
