A biography for Paul Georgehasn’t been written yet.
“I know a little bit how it is coming back from an injury, trying to find your rhythm.”
“People saying I want to come here, who doesn't want to play for their hometown? That's a dream come true, if you're a kid growing up on the outskirts of L.A., to be the man in your city.”
“I know who I am as a player, I just want to help a team win.”
“I might be nervous off the court, being booed. But being on the court, it's my comfort zone. It's basketball. It's what I do. I'm not losing sleep over it.”
“Always being an underdog, always being the player or the person nobody really knew, that always kept a chip on my shoulder.”
“I feel like you can dominate a game in so many ways. That's just always been my mindset, just play ball. Be a basketball player, and everything will fall into place.”
“At 23, I know I'm nowhere close to where I want to be and where I need to be and where I'm going to be.”
“You're not going to look at Paul and see him slacking, not carrying his weight. All the other stuff, 'Paul doesn't lead' and all that? That's fine. Go grab guys that lead, then. Let me help them lead.”
“I love fashion but I don't necessarily have time to be looking stuff up.”
“You put two fiery all-stars on the same team, something special has to happen.”
“I want every year to have a chance to compete for a championship.”
“I don't ever feel cautious about making plays. I tell myself that injuries are more likely to occur if I try to play safe.”
“Regardless of how I feel, I always push through all of my workouts before I get ready for the game, because even though I might not like it then, even though I might be a little tired or fatigued, in the long run, it pays off.”
“I'm going to play at the highest I can, the best I can every night. Wherever that lands me, that's where it lands me.”
“My thing is, I like if I go on that court and there's a guy I don't have to worry about.”
“If it's a shot for me, if I can make a play, create for someone else, I'll do that. A lot of times you run a play, everybody's watching, everybody's locked in, everybody's pulling over, and it just makes the game tougher for me.”
“LeBron is the best player in our league, but some people have a hard time playing with him.”
“When I told the Pacers I wanted to play for the Lakers, that was true feelings. I wanted to come back home.”
“I've never been a guy that's been salty about the shots I'm getting. I just try to play the right way.”
“As beautiful as Oklahoma is, it doesn't have big lights and none of that. But that's fine... I'm a low-maintenance, low-key, chill guy.”
