MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Paul George took his spot in the right corner of FedEx Forum and easily flicked 3-point shot after 3-point shot. All but one went in off a series of passes from Thunder coach Adrian Griffin.
George may be reaching off of a rack rather than receiving passes during Saturday’s Three-Point Contest, but regardless of how the All-Star forward gets the ball, he’s entering Staples Center and his hometown of Los Angeles as one of the hottest 3-point shooters in the NBA.
George comes into the All-Star break shooting a career-best 43.3 percent from – sixth in the NBA – and is second in the league in 3-pointers made (187) behind James Harden (206).
