What else can be said about Paul George that hasn’t already been talked about through the first half of the season? OKC Thunder fans and even the rest of the league can’t get enough of him lately, and for good reason. George has played his way into the MVP conversation by lifting the Thunder to third in the West and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon.
Coming into the season, I would have to imagine George knew what he had gotten himself into. He surprised us all by signing a long-term contract to stay instead of leaving for Los Angeles after some convincing from Russell Westbrook, who was expected to miss some time after impromptu knee surgery.
