Former Indiana Pacers (now Clippers) wing Paul George speaks to media at 2024 NBA All-Star weekend

Young kid here will you reflect on that time now in the beginning of your journey what do you take from your time here in um I think just the group that I got drafted here with um learned so much through them uh you talk about George

You talking about Danny Roy E West um Dante Brandon Rush Jeff Foster Mike Dunley mean you know those guys I learned so much from um and to uh build something I thought we establish here past the you know Pacers P days um I thought weiv the Indiana Pacers um and

So honestly I think it was just a great time for me to be here um and very appreciative of opportunity they gave so find memories great memories great memories we had a great run um really just a special group PG if you could add one rule to the game what would it be

Looks so much so many opportunities um he’s just you know he’s a Hall of Famer um at the playmaking position at the point guard position so it’s been great playing the along side of Paul what impresses you the most about Tyreek s this game I think one of the best at just managing

Games taking over games playmaking um and for how young he is you know so Po and Polished you don’t find often guys figure that part out so early in in the game you know one of the best assistant turnover ratio it’s very impressive very very impressive you know this Market

Well how does he fit in to be the face of this franchise now for new er perfectly perfectly I mean he’s a huge personality um and very easy uh marketable um so I think it’s it’s perfect it’s right in line with Indiana having a face uh like Tyrese um great

Great kid um and I think Indiana found really a star for a very long time what are what’s your favorite say favorite quote favorite quote uh that’s a good question can’t think of not right now what about who’s what historical figure would be the best NBA draft prospect NBA draft prospect so

You need a great leader I remember that hugged it out very doe dope number one yeah we got to do a cross we got to do a cross for sure you played a a lot of games a couple games against anthon he’s been talking some smack of late now you got

10y old would it take to beat you in a game pick up how many 10y olds yeah I’m getting some crazy numbers all over honestly to beat me in a pickup gam it take a lot probably probably like probably like 20 30 kids easily right you’re playing

Bully ball yeah no problem I’m on offense they not getting the ball back not touching it name one NBA player in history that you wish you could have been teammates with at one point shq that would been a problem oh my God watch shq yeah it’s automatic double

Team like you got a double that’s easy open thre Paul there so many different ways to get to the NBA now G leag night overtime what’s the biggest thing you took away from your college experience and if you could go back and be here with PR now what route would you take

Um I think I would have still went the college route um you know I think my game was ready to play at an NBA level so I think my route going through college developing in college worked out perfectly and that’s where my game was at the time um but I love that there’s

Advanced kids that can take that extra step and uh learn the game NBA ready a lot earlier and a lot sooner um but yeah for me it just it wasn’t in my cards if that if that was available for me at the time Paul hey Paul hey Paul injuries have kept I’m going
