I don't know how you can hate this guy. -Took the Miami big 3 to their limits with Roy Hibbert and Lance Stephenson -Suffered one of the most horrific injuries in NBA history -Came back even better from that injury, and became an MVP candidate -Now is one of the most chill dudes in the game and convinced Reggie Jackson to keep playing instead of retiring
This right here is prime PG: he’s a much more complete player after his injury. Indiana PG was just more athletic. Never understood why people though “PG24>PG13”, but ig nostalgia has people in a chokehold 🫠
PG24 for me was more confident less bothered by the media and was more consistent in the playoffs while PG13 is more skillful cause of experience as a scorer and defender but less athletic and inconsistent
@@step-p4j you guys base his whole career off of literally one bad bubble run. Outside of that playoffs he’s been a great playoff performer. Stop the false narratives
Russ third triple double season in a row, alongside PG on 2018, might had determined Paul George MVP candidacy. Also, notice how Russ just willingly took the backseat as the second option and still provided. This duo could had been so much more.
yup until pg got injured and russ became the first option again, kinda ruined his dpoy AND mvp candidacy then russ got a lil too selfish in the playoffs for them to win
It appears we are discussing George's 2018-19 season. The biggest strike against PG that season (mostly) wasn't his fault; for better or worse, voters don't usually consider an MVP candidate whose team had a worse record than seven other teams. 49-33 isn't usually a record that impresses voters, but that's especially the case when so many teams did better. Okay, so the team wasn't so strong. Maybe George was so individually dominant that one could make an exception for the lack of team success. Scoring? George was 2nd in the league with 28.0 PPG - 8.1 points behind leader James Harden. It would be nice for George fans if PG was way ahead of the #3 scorer, but no. George was 0.3 points better than Giannis, 0.5 points better than Embiid. Despite Steph Curry playing with Kevin Durant, Curry was only 0.7 points behind George. Steals? George led the league, 0.2 steals better than Harden in second. Now, George is a better defender than Harden of course, who I'm sure got his steals by playing a ton of minutes and getting lucky on his swipes when his man blew by him, but he nevertheless was second-best in the league. George's shooting is mixed. His shooting inside the three-point line wasn't great, 7% below league average. On the plus side, he was 9% above average in both 3FG% and FT%. How does he compare to the other MVP candidates in those categories? 2FG/3FG/FT% PG13 -7%/+9%/+9% GIANNIS +23%/-28%/-5% HARDEN +2%/+4%/+10% KAWHI +4%/+4%/+12% STEPH +1%/+23%/+20% DURANT +13%/-1%/+16% JOKIC +10%/-13%/+7% EMBIID +3%/-15%/+5% LILLARD -6%/+4%/+19% Nothing in the traditional stats stands out; he also came up short of the other MVP candidates in advanced stats: 20th in PER (Giannis, Harden, Davis were 1-2-3) 7th in Box Plus/Minus (Harden, Giannis, Davis), 5th in Win Shares (Harden, Gobert, Giannis), 4th in VORP (Harden, Giannis, Jokic). It was a great season, and definitely deserved some MVP consideration, but Harden and Giannis were a cut above the rest that season.
@@rhenzokuken So he should have been given the MVP based on what he might have done if he were fully healthy all year? That's unfair to other guys who had the same thing happen to them in seasons before this one. Why make an exception for this?
Injuries took the dawg outta him, he had that dawg in Indy before his freak injury. Now he’s scared of it happening again so he plays with a weaker mentality. Still love his game and rooting for him always.
Crap i miss this year so much it was very etertaining season and sometimes i still play 2k19 because i really loved dynamic synergy bond of the russ and pg. I don't care if they win or not i just wish they should have stayed together.
I was just watching highlights of that same season of OKC a few days ago, and it just hit me differently when I thought about how good OKC was that year, especially Russ, and PG13.
The first season he came back from the leg injury up until that final year wit OKC was peak PG13. I remember that year so vividly he was like like 2nd or 3rd in the mvp race- he was hitting game winner after game winner and his crossover-pull-up 3 was so pretty to watch. …Then he went to clippers and became mid
If he played like this during the bubble clippers would be champions. But I guess we'll never know. Just hope he gives this kind of production or close too it this upcoming season
I understand he had some bad playoff runs and then called himself Playoff P but I’m glad we’re done with the slander Paul George stuff. He’s always been one of my favorites to watch
I just uploaded a basketball youtube video, it would mean the world to me if you could show it some support 🙏❤️ ua-cam.com/video/QqqDiKKnf1w/v-deo.html
as a lakers fan i LOVE how he is ending his career as a failure at the clippers. been 4 years, lakers have already won a ring during that time and the clippers despite spending the most in the nba never ever made it to the finals.
PG13 has always been kinda underrated
Yeah
True. I think the internet jokes about him overshadow that he’s a pretty damn good ball player that any team would love to have.
@UC84q4a-FyWlXOFt4ORP7n6w yeah d
If he was just playing like he was on the pacers he probably would had won it
True
I don't know how you can hate this guy.

hes still good
PAUL GEORGE is so good that even though westbrook was the star player of okc, george was still in the mvp ladder
Look at the chemistry he had with Russ. And Russ didn’t even mind feeding him the rock at any given time
The is such a underrated szn from PG, i remember watching him all year rooting for him to win MVP
He finished top 3 in MVP and DPOTY voting lmao that's not underated

Saucy
Chill. KD is smoother lol.

But you forgot to mention that all these numbers dip after his shoulder injuries which was just 50 games of the season.

He went crazy that year 🐐
Most underrated player of the 2010s. He really pushed Lebron and the heat to the limit when he was in Indianna
Golden Hoops keeps it up with the 🐐content
and Soul Hunter keeps us in check with the goated comments !
this version of george is always in my heart
the best version of PG
PG is my IDOL in the NBA, Shout out here' from Philippines.❤
Paul george looks like he doesnt make a sound with his movements 😂 too smooth
I love Paul George he’s always been underrated. Same with his offensive abilities some people only see him as a good defender
As a Thunder fan coming back to watch this, i hope PG can achieve at least a ring by the end of his career frfr
Paul George should have won mvp that season in my opinion
Nah, Giannis was better that season
At least dpoy
@@SSC_CHP we get bored seeing Giannis play even if he won a ring 🤣
Injuries took the dawg outta him, he had that dawg in Indy before his freak injury. Now he’s scared of it happening again so he plays with a weaker mentality. Still love his game and rooting for him always.
OKC was really just pumping out MVPs
Fuck I miss Westbrook and pg duo. One of the most fun times for me watching basketball
PG be killin guys real quiet like
He would’ve been dpoy as well if it wasn’t for the injury
I really love to watch him playing. Thanks for the video!
Remember T Mac? Yeah he said PG reminds him of himself. Let that sink in
PG is better
@@awishisaheartyourdreammake9222 sorry, a prime place isn't a prime tmac
That would be realistic be KD PG more or PG
"gets past 2 guys... STUFFS IT ON THE FREAK!!!" is NASTY work 😂 0:58
Fav player ever
Not a weakness in this guys game 🔥 one of my favorite players ever
No weakness?...
He shoots a pathetic career 43 percent from floor😆
@@bobbobsin3202 43 percent is slightly above league average
I am a fan of golden hoops 💯🔥
Had him on my fantasy team this year along with Kyrie and Harden. Pretty fun season.
love the videos man i appreciate you
Crap i miss this year so much it was very etertaining season and sometimes i still play 2k19 because i really loved dynamic synergy bond of the russ and pg. I don't care if they win or not i just wish they should have stayed together.

Goat in the video and goat who made the video
Love this channel
As a Thunder fan pg13 thank you for your time here!
and he gave us one of the greatest trade package deals of all time
That jumper is just beautiful
Paul George always been cold frfr I love his pull up
I swear Steven Adams just be making the sickest plays out of literally nowhere
My guy so underrated 🔥
You have forget thé game vs Brooklyn
I miss Russ and pg
Same dwag they were so fun to watch
4:59 Damn he MERCED the bucks in this game 😂

hes so good rn in LA whats wrong wit u
This is a guy that literarily BROKE his leg they should have gave him that MVP
I really forgot about bro, he’s fun to watch when he plays at his best
People always say PG sucks and say I am weird for liking him but he is overhated and underappreciated
2019 Season has always been a favorite of mine
Russ made Durant MVP
PG13 almost MVP
Beal almost MVP
I am a fan of golden hoops🔥
Paul George redemption his careers in OKC 🔥🔥🔥
Paul george is very smooth
He was in his duffffeeeyyyyy this year
If he played like this during the bubble clippers would be champions. But I guess we'll never know. Just hope he gives this kind of production or close too it this upcoming season
We Love Golden Hoops❤🔥
He was also top 3 in DPOY voting that year too💯
I understand he had some bad playoff runs and then called himself Playoff P but I’m glad we’re done with the slander Paul George stuff. He’s always been one of my favorites to watch
Imagine if he stayed in OKC I feel like that would be one of the most underrated teams
You look at okc pg vs how he moves now 😭the injuries
He was playing at this level (plus being more of a facilitator) before he got injured last season!!
Pg was my favorite
Imagine if they still had him with Giddey, SGA, and Chet
They wouldn't be there Westbrook and pg13 still would've left
@@donttalktome9217 maybe that’s why I said imagine
I just uploaded a basketball youtube video, it would mean the world to me if you could show it some support 🙏❤️ ua-cam.com/video/QqqDiKKnf1w/v-deo.html
Keep up the good work bro
Should have won MVP and DPOY that year, one of the best seasons of the last 10 years
Pg is one of my favorite players. If i have to list out, it’d probably be kawhi, pg, lebron, giannis, kd, butler, curry, dame, luka, kyrie.
PG13s career oh boy reminds me of some T-MAC staff.
He’s a monster and still is at any time in the court with anyone he’s a problem. Y’all will see
ThAt Was Crazy PG
my man windmills it at OT, George is kind of ridiculous pg 4ever 🔒🤞24&13
Goated 🙏🏾🔥💯😎

Thats why im a big fan of pg13 👏❤️

as a lakers fan i LOVE how he is ending his career as a failure at the clippers. been 4 years, lakers have already won a ring during that time and the clippers despite spending the most in the nba never ever made it to the finals.
PG is a mix between KD and Russ
I don't care about the bubble he's still underrated definitely a future MVP.
1st season in OKC knocked out by rookie Mitchell in 1st round, next season DAME sent them home with series winning buzzer beater.
One of the only players that even if he was shorter is still more then likely a star caliber player in the nba
They a tell you Westbrook a bad teammate bt PG had a MVP season along side him
My favorite player oat, love him, plays his heart out. Just needs to work on those free throws 😬😬
I love him so much that I have a full-length Paul George curtain in my bathroom.
For as long as I can remember PG13 has almost always won everything.
W for pg propaganda
PG13 is one of the smoothest player
