Paul George Thought Steven Adams Was 'Cocky, Arrogant Dude' Before Thunder Trade

Oklahoma City Thunder star Paul George felt a certain way about Steven Adams before the two were teammates, he revealed to reporters on Tuesday.

"Going against him, I thought he was some cocky, arrogant dude, who always just wanted to start trouble," he said, per Royce Young of ESPN.com. "I just thought he was one of those bigs, every opportunity he wants problems. And when I got here, it was the truth."

George made it clear he was mostly joking, however.

"No, he's actually a great dude; he's actually a great teammate," he said.
