Sixers’ Paul George talks Philly decision, his new teammates, what Dr. J told him and more
Nine-time NBA All-Star Paul George has officially signed his max contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. In a recent episode of his podcast, he broke down his decision to come to Philly, his new teammates, the fanbase and more.
After what felt like a lifetime of rumors, “will he, won’t he” debates regarding extending with the Los Angeles Clippers, and more than a few reports of different teams being interested in him, Paul George was reported to have found his new home in the NBA on July 1 — the Philadelphia 76ers.
While many Sixers fans were likely asleep, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped the bomb at 3 a.m. ET that George, a nine-time All-Star and six-time All-NBA selection, had agreed on a four-year, $212 million maximum contract with Philadelphia.
On Saturday, the deal was made official, with the team formally announcing the signing.
Now, we have some inside information on why he ultimately chose the Sixers, his outlook on his new team, his message to the Philly fanbase and more thanks to the newest episode of his podcast, “Podcast P with Paul George”. The full episode is available below.
