Paul George - 'I want to retire a Clipper'

The Los Angeles Clippers held media availabilities on Friday and Paul George was as open and honest as they come. The second-year Clipper admitted last season was a terrible year for him and how he's planning on bouncing back in a big way in 2021. George also went on to mention something that has shocked a few people in the basketball world.....

George is entering his 11th season in the NBA and his 21.5 points per game last season was one of his worst as a pro. George also mentioned in his availability the Clippers lost last year because of lack of adjustments which seems like a subtle jab to his old head coach, Doc Rivers.

Paul George on his struggles in Doc Rivers' system:

"Doc was trying to play me as a Ray Allen or a JJ Redick, all pin-downs. I can do it, but that ain't my game. I need some flow, I need some mixes of some pick-and-roll, and post ups...That last season was hard."@SHOsports pic.twitter.com/ECcN1NaEvd

George confirmed he grew up rooting for the Clippers and how wearing their jersey means more to him than people think:

Paul George makes it clear, he wants to retire a Clipper and LA is where his heart is.
