Shannon Sharpe has taken a big shot at Paul George and his level during the past NBA season. PG landed in Los Angeles with big expectations but he failed to delivered when his team needed him the most in the Orlando bubble. They choked and seeing how bad PG was playing during the postseason, all the critics were aimed at him.

He is showing a better face this season than the one he showed in the Orlando bubble, though. The veteran swingman has been very outspoken about what he wants to achieve with the Los Angeles Clippers and he’s been trying his best to show that game after game.

PG13 is ready to turn things around this season and take the Clippers to compete in the stacked Western Conference. George is doing a great job and the Clippers can’t be happier with him. However, not everybody is convinced that this moment will be translated to the playoff, which is why Sharpe went after the player.

During a recent edition of FS1’s Undisputed, the former NFL player-turned-analyst commented on PG’s moment but making it clear that the big test will come in the postseason.

“I don’t know what the Clippers are going to do but I’m not trusting Paul George until I see him in the playoffs. You can be mad about the media, but we aren’t the ones calling you ‘soft,’ that’s your peers, you need to convince them.”

"I don't know what the Clippers are going to do but I'm not trusting Paul George until I see him in the playoffs. You can be mad about the media, but we aren't the ones calling you 'soft,' that's your peers, you need to convince them."

During the offseason, several reports suggested Paul George was indeed criticized by teammates, with some even claiming he had a feud with Montrezl Harrell, who left the Clippers this offseason to sign with the Clippers. This is not new for the Clippers and everybody within the organization expected all this drama to over at this point. Things aren’t like that, though, and
it seems like it will continue until George shows something different in the postseason.
