Because Paul George is too good a player to constantly be made fun of, even if you don’t want to call him Playoff P. At some point NBA discourse devolved into slandering any star who lost a high leverage game and George eventually became an easy target, especially given his role as a number two. This isn’t to say he hasn’t had his bad moments and poor performances, however, it’s not like all his big shots have hit the side of the backboard either. So, whether you want to use the playoff moniker for him or not, Paul George has certainly done enough to retire 'Pandemic P' forever.
