Paul George on if the LA Clippers are being overlooked by fans: “I can’t say we’re overlooked, we haven’t done nothing yet. We’re not the team to beat. We’re not the best team out there. We got a lot to prove.”

Great diplomatic answer by Paul George. Put your money where your mouth is. Don’t demand respect, earn it.

    even the players are self-aware lol

    We know what this team can do with health. Hopefully we can see the Clips at full strength this season.

    No you’re not over looked, you’re on everyone’s radar.

    I imagine this has to be the last year of the experiment if it goes off the rails again. How many years can they punt due to injuries? A rebuild must be coming.

    Oh slow down there cowboy!! Let’s just start with being on the court more than 20 games.

  6. random-50

    A+ answer and attitude.

    They’ve got zero chance of winning, though. But still, A+.

  7. Numerous_Resist_8863

    2nd best team in their city.

    (Arguably) 3rd best team in their state.

  8. Why are the media gutless and afraid to ask how he feels about not having an extension offer?

  9. fonger81

    That might be the most honest answer from an LA player I’ve heard in awhile. Humble P, I like it.

  10. WordSpiritual1928

    Crazy they’ve been in LA for four years and already.

  11. FallacyFrank

    I feel like since PG started his podcast he’s been a lot more logical with his takes lol

  12. I remember when the entire Clippers squad were super cocky as soon as the Kawhi and PG squad was made.

    How self aware and honest. That’s refreshing.

  14. Loose_Vehicle755

    Just state facts and fans will respect that. They’re not the team to beat, for sure, but that comes with the advantage of being underestimated. I think neither Kawhi nor PG can withstand 4 playoff series regardless of seeding, but they can get back to the WCF and fuck up a contender for sure

    Dammit I really like Paul George these days. Best NBA podcast too

  16. Annual-Climate6549

    He’s right but I feel like this is some shit you say when you’re 23 not 33

  17. Js_On_My_Yeet

    That is actually a really good response.

    George’s statement resonates with the humility and sense of purpose that can define both the NBA and the world of politics. Just as the Clippers acknowledge the challenges they face, it brings to mind the intricate dynamics of political campaigns, such as the historic 2008 Democratic primaries.

    In that pivotal year, the Democratic Party witnessed an extraordinary battle between candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Their campaign strategies, policies, and speeches were dissected and debated across the nation. It was a momentous time when the political landscape was defined not only by the candidates but also by the electrifying atmosphere of change and progress.

    On a different note, let’s also reflect on the 1996 Republican primaries, a year that saw the emergence of notable figures like Bob Dole and Pat Buchanan. Their campaigns, too, left an indelible mark on the political sphere, as they navigated the intricacies of policy discussions and grassroots support.

    Paul George’s words, like those of the political candidates of the past, reflect the ethos of determination, accountability, and the quest for excellence. As the NBA season unfolds, watch for the Clippers to rise to the challenge and prove their mettle on the court, just as political campaigns are battles of ideas, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of a greater goal.
