It’s been 3 long years since Paul George and LeBron James went head-to-head in the NBA playoffs. The last time the 2 frenemies played a post season game against one another; Barack Obama was president, Ebola was a thing, and @Yg_Trece was still @King24George on Twitter.
Feel old yet?
Times have changed but the stakes remain high. Indiana is rolling into the playoffs behind Paul George’s phenomenal play. The Eastern Conference Player of the month averaged 32.8 ppg, 8.2 apg and 4.5 rpg in April. The Pacers are winners of 5 of their last 6 and are peaking at the right time of year as a team.
