There are always some unwritten rules in the NBA that every player in the league tends to follow. But the Los Angeles Clippers superstar Paul George is apparently an anomaly regarding these unwritten rules.
So much so that in a recent episode of ‘Podcast P with Paul George,’ the Clippers superstar called these rules stupid. He explained in detail the reason behind his thinking.
“I think all of ’em are stupid,” George said. “I think it’s stupid that you wouldn’t take a shot [at the end of the quarter] because you’re worried about your percentage. Give me the ball every time; I’ll launch that motherfu*ker from half-court. I love those moments. And then people getting mad for scoring at the end before the game’s over. They get mad about it.”

Paul George certainly has a very different thinking about the unwritten rules in the NBA, such as not scoring late in the game when the outcome has already been decided.
At the end of the day, George’s comments may not be perceived well in the NBA community. After all, he bluntly called out something that most fans expect every NBA player to understand and follow.
Zion Williamson Sparked Controversy After Late Windmill Dunk Against The Phoenix Suns
During the podcast, Paul George was initially asked this question by the host due to Zion Williamson’s controversial dunk against the Phoenix Suns earlier this season.
The Suns suffered a 117-128 defeat in the matchup. And Zion flaunting his athleticism by pulling off a windmill dunk in the final few seconds of the game was not well received by the Suns’ players.
The situation quickly got out of hand, as a fight was about to take place between players from the two teams.
Zion would be happy to know that at least one superstar in the league understands why he did a windmill dunk, even though the New Orleans Pelicans had already won the game.
