Oklahoma City Thunder wing Paul George was always believed to be the potential star free agent the Los Angeles Lakers had the best chance at landing. Though as the season has gone on, there have been more reasons to believe he could stick with Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City.
Both times the Thunder came to Staples Center, George was showered with cheers from the Lakers fans. The same happened during All-Star Weekend. During All-Star Media Day, which was open to the public, a group of Lakers fans could be heard chanting ‘We Want Paul!’ during George’s interview session.
