Why did Paul George leave the Indiana Pacers? According to the man himself, he believes the Indiana Pacers hadn’t put themselves in the position to win a championship.
That window is certainly closed for now as the team rebuilds around Myles Turner, but it was only a few seasons ago that the team was a title contender.
In his interview with Sports Illustrated’s Lee Jenkins, PG also said he understood the backlash from fans.
“There’s no right way to handle it,” George says. “I get the frustration. But at the same time, I want the average fan to understand that we only get a small window to play this game and more than anything you want to be able to play for a championship.
