Paul George is back on the podcast mic and dishing out advice to young superstars like Anthony Edwards – who was recently eliminated from the playoffs.
“I think Ant’s gotta get better at he’s gotta develop a post game,” George said on Podcast P with Paul George. “Where he can let the game slow down, where he can get to one dribble and raise up and shoot, and I think that helps a player get into a rhythm a lot better, where he starts closer and he doesn’t have to worry about bringing two defenders to the ball to try to get free, get to an elbow, get to the mid post, where you can see the whole floor, and play from there. So I think that’s the next evolution for Ant.”
Another player George talked about is Tyrese Haliburton. He believes that the Pacers star could be the next face of the league, which is a huge call considering all the other young stars in the game at the moment.
“In my eyes, I think he is a superstar,” George said. “He’s the face of the NBA. He is the number one option. He’s a set-up point first, but he can be your late-game scorer. He’s been a clutch performer late in games. He can be an isolation player, that’s just not his calling. I want to see him continue to do this, which I know he will.”
Crazily enough, Paul George is the one who put together the 2025 NBA Finals, as fate would have it.
Check it out:
In 2017, the Pacers traded Paul George to the Thunder for Domantas Sabonis and Victor Oladipo.
In 2019, the Thunder traded Paul George to the Clippers for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a haul of first round picks / swaps that helped OKC get Jalen Williams.
In 2022, Sabonis was traded to the Kings for Tyrese Haliburton.
Maybe if the Sixers trade PG they will get to an NBA Finals soon? LOL.
