After a disastrous season, Paul George is still working to redeem himself and solidify his place among the NBA elites.
So far, PG is off to a well-enough start, averaging 22.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists on 47.9% shooting. Still, that is not quite enough for George, as he is making sure to fight back against anyone standing in his way, including his fellow players.
Sunday’s match against the Phoenix Suns, for example, featured the chip-on-his-shoulder George, snapping back at Suns star Devin Booker for called him a “soft a$$ n****a.”

For what it’s worth, PG dropped 39 in a 5-point win over Book and the Suns, so it looks like he came out on top for this one.
Still, George has a lot of work to do if he is going to rebuild his legacy — and he seems more determined now than ever to turn things around and finally bring home a Chip.
