Humiliated, Paul George reveals LeBron’s words after his poster on him: “He…”
In addition to the defeat suffered against the Lakers on January 7, Paul George had the misfortune of finding himself on a poster of LeBron James. A sequence as humiliating as it was viral to which he returned by revealing the King’s comments towards him.
At 39 years old, he still manages to carry a team on his shoulders and achieve extraordinary athletic feats. LeBron James continues to defy the laws of nature at the start of 2024. This was, for example, the case during the Lakers’ recent victory against their local rivals, the Clippers. Author of 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, the Angelino leader above all signed a killer poster on Paul George:
Posterized by LeBron, Paul George honest about their interaction
Victim of this sequence which obviously made the rounds on social networks, George agreed to discuss it frankly in his podcast. The opportunity for him to open up about his reasoning:
There is an old saying that what starts badly usually ends badly. AD deflected my pass and LeBron got the ball. So at that point, I had already screwed up the action.
After his sequence against Kawhi, Rudy Gobert honest: “I decided that…
LeBron arrived at full speed. I saw that I had a teammate to my left, so I wanted to play it smart. This is what condemned me. LeBron usually gives the ball away so it can be given back to him. And then I saw that he wasn’t giving it, so I told myself that I would quickly face him. And at the same time, I was preparing to absorb the contact so I backed away. I was like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Fixed.
Beyond this fierce dunk suffered in the face, PG13 also received a foul, which only increased his discomfort. Shaken, he nevertheless tried to reassure himself from the King:
I asked LeBron because I had nothing else to do. I looked stupid. I said to him, “Hey Bron, did I foul you? » I needed help at that time! He replied, “Nah bro, you didn’t make a mistake. » At least I had that to ease my conscience.
To make matters worse, James Harden had an epic reaction which also created a buzz. Enough to bury his teammate a little more, who ironically indicated that he did not appreciate it:
Yeah, James made quite a face on the action. I hate it when he does that.
Failing to be able to erase this humiliation offered by LeBron James, Paul George offered himself a bit of comfort by confirming with him that he had not in fact made a mistake. A meager consolation prize which takes nothing away from the violence of the highlight
