Paul George: ‘I’ve been on teams where the culture just wasn’t there…no matter how much talent you have, it doesn’t click’

Paul George: “It was crazy because it was a normal play that I’ve made so many times. A guy dribbling across, I reach, poke the ball free, and I go either get the steal or I’m off running for the fast break, right? That was what was playing out in my head after I poked it loose. And then I don’t know, my leg just went back, and I was about to like take off, and I guess my leg just kind of got stuck, bro. Like my leg literally just got stuck. I don’t even know what else to call it, just my knee locked up, my leg locked up. And when I went to go push off, all my momentum is going forward, and my leg just… it just caused it to go inwards. I know I’m thinking, when I saw it immediately, I was like, ‘Ah, this don’t feel right.’” -via YouTube / October 21, 2024
