Apologies to Paul George. I predicted on today's Undisputed he'd go for 30/13/10. How about 41/13/6 on 15-20 from the floor, 3-6 from 3 and EIGHT-OF-EIGHT from the line? I doubt him. I try to motivate him. I still believe in Playoff P.

Paul George has the highest peak value of the players ranked between 10-20 in the NBA.

His inconsistencies are what holds him back from being a perennial superstar, but he has it all. Scorer at all three levels, improved ball-handler/creator, good defender. Incredible player.
Congrats to Paul George (@Yg_Trece) of the @LAClippers for moving up to 16th on the all-time #NBAPlayoffs THREES MADE list! #ThatsGame pic.twitter.com/JRrs8FV2PW

Paul George has now been elbowed in the face and shoved in mid air, yet neither one have been reviewed for a flagrant.
— Joey Linn (@joeylinn_) June 29, 2021
In fact, the last one wasn’t even called a foul.
Paul George has played 109 more minutes - more than two full games - than anyone else in the NBA in June, but yes, let's shred him for getting a breather.
