Paul George Explains Why Players Should Not Talk Trash to LeBron James

Paul George believes it's a losing battle.

Paul George has seen his fair share of battles against LeBron James. From his epic playoff battles between the Indiana Pacers against the Miami Heat, and the incredibly fun regular season battles between the LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. He's seen firsthand why players shouldn't talk trash to LeBron James.

On the most recent episode of Podcast P, Paul George explained why players like Dillon Brooks shouldn't talk trash to someone like LeBron James. It's a losing battle with a slippery slope.

"Being an agitator is a slippery slope," George said. "No bullsh*t, because you're talking to somebody that controls the game. Bron controls the game. You're Dillon Brooks, you don't get 20 shots a night, you don't get 25 shots a night. Bron does. You don't think he's going to hit shots? You don't think he's going to make shots? He's going to play well. It's a slippery slope for that reason alone. It's like having a shootout and you've got three bullets to my 25 bullets. Who is going to win?"

In the specific case of Dillon Brooks, George was very dumbfounded at why he would talk trash to LeBron James. It was such an easy avenue for Dillon Brooks to get slandered by the media if the Grizzlies lost, and that's ultimately what happened.

"Why the f**k would Bron answer to Dillon Brooks," George questioned. "Who are you? Like what have you done? Why am I even having this with you? Prove yourself first."

Dillon Brooks talked his trash, the dominoes fell, and the Memphis Grizzlies have been eliminated. The fallout has been truly newsworthy, and Paul George will be sure to have another reaction about it.
