I don't know how you can hate this guy. -Took the Miami big 3 to their limits with Roy Hibbert and Lance Stephenson -Suffered one of the most horrific injuries in NBA history -Came back even better from that injury, and became an MVP candidate -Now is one of the most chill dudes in the game and convinced Reggie Jackson to keep playing instead of retiring
This right here is prime PG: he’s a much more complete player after his injury. Indiana PG was just more athletic. Never understood why people though “PG24>PG13”, but ig nostalgia has people in a chokehold 🫠
PG24 for me was more confident less bothered by the media and was more consistent in the playoffs while PG13 is more skillful cause of experience as a scorer and defender but less athletic and inconsistent
@@step-p4j you guys base his whole career off of literally one bad bubble run. Outside of that playoffs he’s been a great playoff performer. Stop the false narratives
It appears we are discussing George's 2018-19 season. The biggest strike against PG that season (mostly) wasn't his fault; for better or worse, voters don't usually consider an MVP candidate whose team had a worse record than seven other teams. 49-33 isn't usually a record that impresses voters, but that's especially the case when so many teams did better. Okay, so the team wasn't so strong. Maybe George was so individually dominant that one could make an exception for the lack of team success. Scoring? George was 2nd in the league with 28.0 PPG - 8.1 points behind leader James Harden. It would be nice for George fans if PG was way ahead of the #3 scorer, but no. George was 0.3 points better than Giannis, 0.5 points better than Embiid. Despite Steph Curry playing with Kevin Durant, Curry was only 0.7 points behind George. Steals? George led the league, 0.2 steals better than Harden in second. Now, George is a better defender than Harden of course, who I'm sure got his steals by playing a ton of minutes and getting lucky on his swipes when his man blew by him, but he nevertheless was second-best in the league. George's shooting is mixed. His shooting inside the three-point line wasn't great, 7% below league average. On the plus side, he was 9% above average in both 3FG% and FT%. How does he compare to the other MVP candidates in those categories? 2FG/3FG/FT% PG13 -7%/+9%/+9% GIANNIS +23%/-28%/-5% HARDEN +2%/+4%/+10% KAWHI +4%/+4%/+12% STEPH +1%/+23%/+20% DURANT +13%/-1%/+16% JOKIC +10%/-13%/+7% EMBIID +3%/-15%/+5% LILLARD -6%/+4%/+19% Nothing in the traditional stats stands out; he also came up short of the other MVP candidates in advanced stats: 20th in PER (Giannis, Harden, Davis were 1-2-3) 7th in Box Plus/Minus (Harden, Giannis, Davis), 5th in Win Shares (Harden, Gobert, Giannis), 4th in VORP (Harden, Giannis, Jokic). It was a great season, and definitely deserved some MVP consideration, but Harden and Giannis were a cut above the rest that season.
@@rhenzokuken So he should have been given the MVP based on what he might have done if he were fully healthy all year? That's unfair to other guys who had the same thing happen to them in seasons before this one. Why make an exception for this?
Russ third triple double season in a row, alongside PG on 2018, might had determined Paul George MVP candidacy. Also, notice how Russ just willingly took the backseat as the second option and still provided. This duo could had been so much more.
yup until pg got injured and russ became the first option again, kinda ruined his dpoy AND mvp candidacy then russ got a lil too selfish in the playoffs for them to win
Injuries took the dawg outta him, he had that dawg in Indy before his freak injury. Now he’s scared of it happening again so he plays with a weaker mentality. Still love his game and rooting for him always.
Crap i miss this year so much it was very etertaining season and sometimes i still play 2k19 because i really loved dynamic synergy bond of the russ and pg. I don't care if they win or not i just wish they should have stayed together.
I was just watching highlights of that same season of OKC a few days ago, and it just hit me differently when I thought about how good OKC was that year, especially Russ, and PG13.
The first season he came back from the leg injury up until that final year wit OKC was peak PG13. I remember that year so vividly he was like like 2nd or 3rd in the mvp race- he was hitting game winner after game winner and his crossover-pull-up 3 was so pretty to watch. …Then he went to clippers and became mid
If he played like this during the bubble clippers would be champions. But I guess we'll never know. Just hope he gives this kind of production or close too it this upcoming season
I just uploaded a basketball youtube video, it would mean the world to me if you could show it some support 🙏❤️ th-cam.com/video/QqqDiKKnf1w/w-d-xo.html
I understand he had some bad playoff runs and then called himself Playoff P but I’m glad we’re done with the slander Paul George stuff. He’s always been one of my favorites to watch
as a lakers fan i LOVE how he is ending his career as a failure at the clippers. been 4 years, lakers have already won a ring during that time and the clippers despite spending the most in the nba never ever made it to the finals.
PG13 has always been kinda underrated
Yeah
True. I think the internet jokes about him overshadow that he’s a pretty damn good ball player that any team would love to have.
@UC84q4a-FyWlXOFt4ORP7n6w yeah d
If he was just playing like he was on the pacers he probably would had won it
True
I don't know how you can hate this guy.

PAUL GEORGE is so good that even though westbrook was the star player of okc, george was still in the mvp ladder
Look at the chemistry he had with Russ. And Russ didn’t even mind feeding him the rock at any given time

PG is my IDOL in the NBA, Shout out here' from Philippines.❤
He went crazy that year 🐐
I love Paul George he’s always been underrated. Same with his offensive abilities some people only see him as a good defender
Most underrated player of the 2010s. He really pushed Lebron and the heat to the limit when he was in Indianna
The is such a underrated szn from PG, i remember watching him all year rooting for him to win MVP
He finished top 3 in MVP and DPOTY voting lmao that's not underated

Not a weakness in this guys game 🔥 one of my favorite players ever
No weakness?...
He shoots a pathetic career 43 percent from floor😆

As a Thunder fan coming back to watch this, i hope PG can achieve at least a ring by the end of his career frfr
PG be killin guys real quiet like
I am a fan of golden hoops 💯🔥
Paul George should have won mvp that season in my opinion
Nah, Giannis was better that season
At least dpoy
@@SSC_CHP we get bored seeing Giannis play even if he won a ring 🤣
Fav player ever

Fuck I miss Westbrook and pg duo. One of the most fun times for me watching basketball
He would’ve been dpoy as well if it wasn’t for the injury
"gets past 2 guys... STUFFS IT ON THE FREAK!!!" is NASTY work 😂 0:58

Goat in the video and goat who made the video
Had him on my fantasy team this year along with Kyrie and Harden. Pretty fun season.
love the videos man i appreciate you

You look at okc pg vs how he moves now 😭the injuries
Russ made Durant MVP
PG13 almost MVP
Beal almost MVP
Imagine if he stayed in OKC I feel like that would be one of the most underrated teams
Pg is one of my favorite players. If i have to list out, it’d probably be kawhi, pg, lebron, giannis, kd, butler, curry, dame, luka, kyrie.
Keep up the good work bro
He was playing at this level (plus being more of a facilitator) before he got injured last season!!
Should have won MVP and DPOY that year, one of the best seasons of the last 10 years
This is crazy 🔥🔥🔥 so underrated unfortunately top 75 player period
I love him so much that I have a full-length Paul George curtain in my bathroom.
