One of my favorite players ever. The dude was just born to play basketball. He has it all even to this day. We got robbed of possibly one of the greatest ever cuz of that horrible injury. Same with d rose. Both dudes were filled with legendary potential
Handles and shiftiness like Kyrie. Moves and poise like MJ. Big tall body like Bron. Shots like Durant. Defense like Kawhi but even more dynamic. Only weakness was maybe IQ and passing but those were still good. He could have been most complete ideal player of all time without the injury
The fact that he’s still playing at a high level at his age is amazing in itself. When he snapped his leg in half I thought he was through, no way he’d ever play again. Man is a warrior hope he gets that chip one day
@@thomasreuter1614he didnt say anything about that. All he said was he has a good shoe line. When the fuck did he bring up anything against the shoe or when it sold the most?
Classic story of an absolute monster who was never the same after an injury. That much more respect to players Like Kobe, Lebron, KG, etc.... Staying consistent even after a decade plus in the league.
I really miss this i Pacers team. A low post master david west, a rim protector roy hibbert, a two way player lance Stephenson, an average point guard George hill, and the main guy of the team paul george.
honestly it got me into the NBA as a regular viewer, that year or 2 where him and lance were literally playing with the confidence of the 2 best players in the world (even though they werent) were special
As a big Lebron fan, PG had me nervous manny times. Im like damn this dude is NEXT. Still has had a great career overall. Hopefully he can remain healthy.
PG might not've had the same time of offensive versatility or passing chops as he does now, but his shooting was still great and his athleticism and defense were probably better back then. Man was insane.
@@cracymcgravy3595Oh right cause I totally forgot the cavs team he was on was a super team. Go ahead and educate yourself before you comment something silly
Napagaling talaga ni paul george. Siya lang ang nag iisang star sa indiana at that time. Pero ang halos tinalo niya ang big3 star ng miame. Kong nagkataon lang na meron si george na kasama na dalawang star tiyak na mag champion.
People think he came back 100% from that injury in 2014...he didn't he just changed his game a lil to compensate Paul George is definitely built different
main difference since now and then is definitely the speed and athleticism. obviously it goes away with age not saying that hes not athletic anymore but he definitely used to have a little more explosiveness
@@IIxXxmattxXxII he was on top of the league ahead of the Miami heat with lebron and dwade in the east, fuck is you talking about okc was his years????
If my leg snapped in half I'd never wanna drive hard to the hoop again so it makes sense he'd change his game but honestly I don't think he's worse as a player now just different
Fun fact. The Clippers passed on PG(#10) for Al Faroq Aminu (#8) during the 2010 NBA Draft. He actually wanted to be drafted by the Clippers. Fast forward years later, Clippers get him. Man if that injury never happened. Smh.
He was definitely good was just unfortunate like everyone else in the east that there's someone out there who owned that conference for so many years. You can't be mad tho, that man is the GOAT. You know who he is
Such a good player when he’s healthy. I would kill to have him back on the pacers with Tyrese Haliburton, but I doubt the front office will do it given is injury history.
Before paul george got injured they are the only team in the west that could match the star studded miami heat. They always give the miami super team a headaches in playoffs

Paul George was a true 6"8 two-way shooting guard. A GMs dream So rare.
He has his best season ever after the injury though
And TMAC
He was good, man was on pare with prime James and KD maybe a little under . Also his ceiling look like it could have been hire before the injury
@@smak387swingman 😮
His defense is what set him apart, always active on both ends of the court.
You could almost say that his offense is his defense
His defining trait is being made of tissue paper.
he hassa whole video of buzzer beaters on him. nah all jokes aside, pG-13 was so good to watch even assa heat fan
@@Ayyshaddy that's only because he's not afraid to take the challenge the offense lol
Came in with athleticism and defense. Wasn’t a good shooter but he worked at it and became a beast!
Those pacers heat series were so good
They played 3 times, 2012-14 and all of them were fire
Handles and shiftiness like Kyrie. Moves and poise like MJ. Big tall body like Bron. Shots like Durant. Defense like Kawhi but even more dynamic. Only weakness was maybe IQ and passing but those were still good. He could have been most complete ideal player of all time without the injury
@withdraw nah not any/every NBA player can go get 50
Don't forget the choking...
Woah
he literally played better on the thunder and clippers. wtf are YOU talking about
Fr
Man was a monster... gave miami lebron and wade a hard time nuff said.
FAXXXX Brodie

PG is just so beautiful to watch, his moves are art so fluid, so smooth and with his frame it's just perfect.
Paul George is a beast and ppl just just focus on negative things about him which is absurd.
player of the week 😤
What could have happen to his career now if he isn't had that gruesome injury?
@@mylosbest39 we’ll never know
It’s called analysis😂
He's injury prone...😮
Not to mention. Had probably the most solid shoe line. Can’t go wrong with any pair. 🔥
His shoes didn't take off until he was in OKC tho
@@thomasreuter1614he didnt say anything about that. All he said was he has a good shoe line. When the fuck did he bring up anything against the shoe or when it sold the most?
@@woo_shynen8805 Why are you so mad lmao
@@woo_shynen8805 He said he "had" a good shoe line while he was in Indiana, I'm saying he had a better one while he was in OKC->present
im from indiana and he made watching my team amazing, never forget it
He had his best individual season with OKC post leg break but it's a shame we never got to see him fully healthy that last year with the pacers
back in 2013-2015 this clip 1:49 was on repeat on NBATV. it's like a picture of what to expect from NBA's playoffs
Classic story of an absolute monster who was never the same after an injury. That much more respect to players Like Kobe, Lebron, KG, etc.... Staying consistent even after a decade plus in the league.
The injury isn't what changed him
Pg’s best season was literally after the injury, in 2019 with OKC
@@ayushbajaj4708 fr folks are crazy lmao
Don’t forget TMAC
@@robertvega3078yeah😢
I really miss this i
Pacers team. A low post master david west, a rim protector roy hibbert, a two way player lance Stephenson, an average point guard George hill, and the main guy of the team paul george.
Very well put together team. Danny Granger was the man before. So you had a guy young Paul George playing the 2 just focusing on defense. Insane
honestly it got me into the NBA as a regular viewer, that year or 2 where him and lance were literally playing with the confidence of the 2 best players in the world (even though they werent) were special
i still remember watching this dude in 2012, thinking he’s the most T-Mac-like player
With a better handle but yeah if he played in the 2000s he'd be right there at the top of the league with Wade, Kobe and TMac
The 360 just nasty🔥🔥
Im a indiana fan just for how good this guy was
Miss this pacers team greatest pacer team all time
PG is still Elite
He's easily up there with one of my favorites ever.
Garnett, miller, jordan, pg and kawhi will forever be my starting 5.
As a big Lebron fan, PG had me nervous manny times. Im like damn this dude is NEXT. Still has had a great career overall. Hopefully he can remain healthy.
PG might not've had the same time of offensive versatility or passing chops as he does now, but his shooting was still great and his athleticism and defense were probably better back then. Man was insane.
His defense was wayyyy better. Spent more energy in it
His defense was way better. The current PG is a good defender but this PG was a elite defender
@@Christopher._Mindians was his athletic peak
okc was his defensive peak
clippers was his shooting peak
overall okc is the best
Good times, back then if the pacers were ever down and Paul George was in the game it felt like they were never out of the game
Straight up
See how good PG was, D-Rose and Kawhi also, makes us realize how difficult to be LeBron. To maintain your best year after years.
and 3 big threes of celtics, spurs and warriors. Lebron was a beast
Lebron always have at least top 10 players on his super duper team
@@cracymcgravy3595 and was the best on every one of them
@@cracymcgravy3595Oh right cause I totally forgot the cavs team he was on was a super team. Go ahead and educate yourself before you comment something silly
@@phmed7PG stayed cooking LeBron fam
People act like he was never the same and they are right. He GOT BETTER.
this guy was something else..😅
Napagaling talaga ni paul george. Siya lang ang nag iisang star sa indiana at that time. Pero ang halos tinalo niya ang big3 star ng miame. Kong nagkataon lang na meron si george na kasama na dalawang star tiyak na mag champion.
Paul george is the reason why i played basketball way back in 2011
PG was literally doing 360 windmills so casually i couldn’t believe what i was seein
Indiana Paul George was 🔥 🔥 🔥
People think he came back 100% from that injury in 2014...he didn't he just changed his game a lil to compensate Paul George is definitely built different
In that 2013-14 year, I reckon paul George and the pacers could have won it all if they got past that stacked heat :/
That was such a well melded team
the greatest WHAT IF of NBA
the smoothest basketball player ever imo
2nd most talented guy in nba history
Pacers PG feels like a myth. Dude was awesome
After that leg injury, he was never the same.
Nah okc Paul George is his best version. He was top 3 in mvp voting
@@AlmightyCpj he got rained on by logo lily tho
Used to be my go to team on 2k back in the day
He became a star out of nowhere
Because of Danny granger injury.
2:40 this should be a travel
I remember those Heat vs Pacers Eastern Conference Finals. Super underrated rivalry for a few years there
Paul George was cooking Bron
Girls with a time travel machine: are you my grandma?
Me, with a time travel machine: Paul, don't go too hard on that drive!
My glorious king ❤👑
Who is delighting with this masterpiece in 2024?
PG was the truth before that leg snap, what we thought Ben Simmons would develop into
From the first day I dont trust that dude but let see Wemby
One of the best two way player.
Pg probably had the most elite first step until he got injured. Just ridiculous ability to blow by anybody.
Thank god he was on the pacers I’ll always have love for this guy
That pump fake + spin move is so cold
As a die hard heat fan I can say that Paul George was indeed great
Stayed cooking yo boy LeBron
the good ol days
True two way player. Love paul george man he gets too much slander. Healthy paul is scary
Going toe to toe with lebron was a pleasure to watch
What the FUCK was that dunk at 0:30. That is unreal
main difference since now and then is definitely the speed and athleticism. obviously it goes away with age not saying that hes not athletic anymore but he definitely used to have a little more explosiveness
He literally never played the same after that leg injury. It's literally a tragedy.
He was better after the injury. He was in mvp talks and had his best season in OKC.
@@IIxXxmattxXxII he was on top of the league ahead of the Miami heat with lebron and dwade in the east, fuck is you talking about okc was his years????
If my leg snapped in half I'd never wanna drive hard to the hoop again so it makes sense he'd change his game but honestly I don't think he's worse as a player now just different
@@Onestonedbake he literally put on better stats. you’re just making up shit bud. he played better on the thunder
@@xembones he literally plays the same
If he plays like Indiana mode. That would be crazy. Dam I never hear nothing about Danny granger I used to use that dude hella in 2k16
Fun fact. The Clippers passed on PG(#10) for Al Faroq Aminu (#8) during the 2010 NBA Draft. He actually wanted to be drafted by the Clippers. Fast forward years later, Clippers get him. Man if that injury never happened. Smh.
Fun fact Larry Bird traded Kawhi on draft night to the spurs to get G hill. They couldve gotten they're duo a lot sooner
PG24 was insane juming ability
Booker's jumper + Morant's explosiveness.
PG es como MJ en su estilo de juego. Juega con estilo.
before injury, maybe he is the best small forward...
his biggest problem always been consistently and staying healthy. when at his best he arguably a top 10 player
Confidence is hell of a drug. Too bad 2020 PG didn't have it or else i feel like the Clippers would've won that year.
Was a modern day Tracy mcgrady .. people don’t put enough respect on his name … as they don’t for PG ..
He was definitely good was just unfortunate like everyone else in the east that there's someone out there who owned that conference for so many years. You can't be mad tho, that man is the GOAT. You know who he is
Wilt?
I miss those heat pacers playoff series man….
Such a good player when he’s healthy. I would kill to have him back on the pacers with Tyrese Haliburton, but I doubt the front office will do it given is injury history.
In Lebron Documentary there has to be a chapter called new kids on the block about George and the Indiana Pacers🔥
one word, explosive
I was a fan of indiana PG13. Too bad that injury really changed his game
He had it all, dagum injuries
He’s basically T-Mac II. Same smoothness, and a very similar career path
Needed this on my clippers😂😩
If him and granger didn’t have injuries they would’ve been a real ass problem
4:20 🔥
Wish he woulda played for us
Looking at the shorts at this point vs today, we are going to be seeing ABA length shorts soon.
man PG24 was goated
Before paul george got injured they are the only team in the west that could match the star studded miami heat. They always give the miami super team a headaches in playoffs
Bro pulled a vc dunk contest dunk in a game
That dunk by PG low key top 3 all time.🔥🔥💯
The Smoothest Player in NBA
He was like a prime T-mac, but with defense.
Muy bueno el video, gracias!
Things changed after the injury that’s all. Would’ve been a Superstar
Pacers Paul George was HIM!!!!!!!!!
"I hung banners there"
He took prime heat to 7 games
Bricking news.This is his pacers' day
OOHHH YEAH PG
he was hungry back then.
paul george posters are better than anyone else
Always gave a dunk contest dunk in the game 😂😅😮
PG13 is built different
Dat Nigga was soo young smh 🐐🐐
His legs was good breaking on the court
Met him and George hill in bayshore mall. Hill got mad cuz i told him take a pic of me and pg. 😂😂😂
Just realized that’s Mike Epps @2:46 lol
