    Throughout his entire NBA career, All-Star wing Paul George has endured a lot of ups and downs. Just recently, though, the newest addition to the Philadelphia 76ers took a moment to discuss the reaction he got to being called the Greatest Of All Time.

    Before George entered the NBA, he played high school basketball at Knight High School and then spent two seasons playing college basketball for the Fresno State Bulldogs. He was then selected 10th overall by the Indiana Pacers in the 2010 NBA Draft and went on to have a successful sting with the Eastern Conference team, earning multiple All-Star and All-NBA selections.

    In 2017, George was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he spent two seasons. He was then traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2019, where he played for four seasons, helping the team reach the playoffs each year, including their first-ever trip to the Conference Finals in 2021.

    This past offseason, George was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, where he will look to continue his All-Star level of play and help the team contend for a championship.

    Throughout his career, George has been recognized as one of the league’s elite two-way players, earning multiple All-Defensive Team selections in addition to his offensive accolades. He remains a perennial All-Star and one of the most versatile and impactful players in the NBA.

    Philadelphia 76ers Star Paul George Gets Real on Being Called the GOAT by Younger Hoopers

    Both George and young baller Kiyan Anthony, the son of former NBA star Carmelo Anthony, appeared in an episode of 7PM in Brooklyn. The latter, though, called the Sixers star his GOAT, leading to a certain amount of backlash onto the two individuals. In response, George explained his side, as seen in a video posted by the podcast’s official account on X.

    The Philadelphia wing admitted that he’s nowhere near the true GOATs but from an inspiration standpoint, it’s truly humbling. He added that it doesn’t make sense to attack a kid for expressing his thoughts on the matter.

    It’s a given that George isn’t the true GOAT in all aspects of the title. But when it comes to being real and inspiring younger hoopers, there’s no question about the impact he has left on the next generation of basketball players.
