It doesn't work that way. If you could simply work on your jumper, everyone would be Curry good at shooting now...
Wade fans still waiting for him to form a consistent jumper lol

Not many things can I say are flat out incorrect. The bolded however is one of them.

But they're on the same tier
Agreed. They definitely are. Harden is an 8 on the offensive end and a 4 on the defensive end. Current PG is 9 on the defensive end and 5 on the offensive end. Pretty much the same.

He honestly hasn't been the same since that stripper came out and said she was keeping his baby. Anyways

I gave him props for playing well, which he was at the time.. Now hes back to playing like a role player..
The league is the one who is trying to promote him as the next big thing.. They're desperate to find a new superstar

Re: What is happening to Paul George?
Pressure, Huge expectation and stress. PG needs to stop thinking about his personal problems, and just concentrate on playing basketball.

Re: What is happening to Paul George?
this thread is disgusting. pg is a defender that can score, not a scorer that can defend. his play starts on the defensive end first, not the offensive end. everything else that comes with him is a plus.

Re: What is happening to Paul George?
It's one of two things. Either he is now playing way below his caliber for some unknown reasons or he was just doing very well at the first half of the season that people expected him to be that good all throughout which apparently he is not.
Personally guilty of the second one. I mean, he was converting on sick turnaround shots at one point, making bigtime buzzerbeaters and playing so smoothly with his beautiful fadeaway jump shots. He was even rebounding better, passing well while spending less time on the court. It would tak a fool not to appreciate his improvements, until 2014 came where slumps after slumps came.
If he cannot sustain it all throughout, he should comes up big in the play-offs or ahmm... just that. Anyway, this year is another leap-frog improvement for the young fella. Give creditt where credit is due!

Re: What is happening to Paul George?
You have to remember that PG came up from nowhere. His climb was greatly done in two years. Pressure creeps up on you and all eyes are on you watching your every move. At 23 its a lot to contend with. Never mind women. In recent memory you can't name five players that were great at taking on pressure by themselves at that young of age. Rose was one a few that could take on added pressure and not go thru a ton of changes at that age. Kyrie, whom I believe is having women issues too, is going thru the same thing as PG.
The public eye and expectations gets to most of the GOATs who thought they were destined to be the best. Much less someone like Paul George who was skeptical about his ability to make it in the NBA and 3 years later he's arguably top 5. That distance is crazy and the expectations are of a different world. He'll be fine after the whiplash heals... Growing pains.

This was all-Time Great suicide.
Larry Bird is very pissed about this statement no doubt.

Re: What is happening to Paul George?
He's just not that great. His numbers have been dropping every month of the season
