Paul George was born on the 2nd of May 1990 in Palmdale, California. He went to Night King’s High School in Palmdale. His mother Paulette and Father Paul provided him with a good upbringing helping build his passion for basketball. He had three sisters Daniela, Teiosha and Portala.
Paul George was inspired by a great basketball player named Kobe Bryant. Paul received his first instruction in the game from his older sister. It was only in his freshman year in High School that he started playing organised Basketball. In the 2010 NBA draft, he was chosen by the Indiana Pacers as the 10th overall pick and he clinched the NBA All-Rookie Second Team honours in 2011.
Paul George got the chance to play for the UCLA Bruins. In 2007 he was instrumental in Knight’s golden league championship win and was subsequently hailed as the golden league most valuable player the Antelope valley. He accepted the first scholarship he was offered and verbally committed to Santa Clara. However his High School coach Tom Hegre advised him to wait for more options.
Paul appeared in 34 games being part of the starting lineup in all of them Playing for an average of 34.6 minutes per game he scored 14.3 points per game. Then he went on to win a gold metal in the Olympics for basketball In his old team the Indiana Pacers.
Paul George is a great NBA player as I have already said.He is so great that he became an All star which is pretty much the best of the best in the NBA. Oh and by the way if you don't know what NBA stands for because if you don't then it stands for national basketball association.
In Paul George's first game he didn't score a point he missed all seven shots that he took which is like really really bad and as you have read he has gotten a lot better in the past 2 to 3 years.Paul is a very confident and and focused player and that is what makes him great.
Paul George is living the life he has been wanting to live for years. He has had a dream and chased it which is why Paul George inspires me to follow my dreams to be a great sportsman and to try anything. A famous quote of Paul’s is “The worst has happened the best is next.” This is something I always try to remember. Paul is not only a great basketballer, but also a great person.
