Easiest injury to come back from. Bone breakages heal stronger. Blowing out your knee and tearing acl and MCL doesn’t look as bad but is much harder to get back to 100%

Paul George “gave up” because they literally didn’t wanna get him anything even good, legit 2017 was an awful team and in 2014 they legit started moving his veterans when they were doing the leadership, the Pacers are the one to blame.

thank you! pacers definitely had the assets to trade for a 23 year old All NBA all Defense potential MVP who had just signed a 5 year extension. like hello how did the pelicans whiff on the incredible turner/lavoy allen/late-round picks package they could have gotten??? all they ended up with was that crappy ingram/ball/hart/hunter/three firsts deal, ewwwww, would you trade myles and lavoy for that trash??? oh wait this is just his stupid revisionist history. pacers never could have had ad, they never had the young assets or other teams picks that would have made it possible. pacers probably tried to trade for ad but couldnt make it work because they wanted PG in the trade. if there is anything to be mad at the pacers front office about, its for not trading pg for ad. except then we saw ad turned out to be a piece of shit too, so it would have been the same thing again. and that 17-18 team would have beaten the shit out of any pg13 led team. not pg24, he was a good dude, but pg13's 'all about me' "teams", blegh, give me the troy murphy kareem rush earl watson pacers over 'wayoff p' any day

It's not wrong what you said, but when there are so many times that he bailed on teams "for a legit" reason, should you still think it's not his fault? This isn't just his NBA career, when he was younger he changed high school 4 times and it wasn't because of a family relocation, then don't we all rememeber what happened between him and Doc's daughter? PG is one of those guys, some might call smart some might call selfish, he only think for himself and constantly needs to be pamperd, and will leave if he is facing challenges (if he can leave, right now with the clips he can't, otherwise he totally will), it's part of the reason why he performs poorly as Kawhi's sidekick but awesome when he is the alpha.

The PG Pacers are proof that all it takes is one bad trade to completely derail a contender and that's before George's leg damn near snapped in half.

Somehow, the whole PG saga is one of the most memorable ones for me from the 2010s... 2013 and 2014 series against the Heat are one of the best I have watched in my life. I still remember those days, being excited watching every game and catching every moment. Something about those series is different, I would compare it to GSW-OKC 2016, GSW-CLE 2016... one of those series where you just feel like “what the fuck” for every play on the court and realize how truly astonishing and “on the other level” it had been days/months/years later.

I don't like PG, but even I have to admit the Pacers ruined a team that was in contention by throwing off the chemistry of the locker room. You had a young core who was hungry and some solid veterans that could guide them. Once you break the confidence of your players, you might as well label the entire progression a bust.

As usual another banger!

As Paul George developed, the Pacers waved good bye to good veterans and tried to replace them with draft and 1 year stop gaps. Its like what's happening to Luka and the Mavericks right now.

Much like Oladipo, Paul George just wasn't the same player after he left The Pacers. He certainly isn't revered as much. He was beloved in Indiana. I remember his first few seasons when he would always say "Hi Mom, HI Dad after every post game interview. Oh well, future's looking bright for the Pacers finally.

I dont remember anybody else on those pacers team, but I remember how amazing he was back then

Good video I remember watching all this go down but really not nearly enough said for Danny Granger, he was this team and the man for a long while. Hibbard is mentioned as an All Star and one two punch with George at a time when Granger was still the number one option?? Hibbard at his peak was nothing compared to Granger but gets mentioned and praised far more? I get it's a video about Paul and all but Granger didn't need diminished this much.

Had to show that Hibbert Block on Melo in Game 6 😩💔 If Melo dunks that ball, I truly believe the Knicks win that game & win Game 7 at MSG.. That Knicks team was legit & was the only time they had an actual shot at beating LeBron/Miami. We smashed the Celtics & their aging Big 3. We were down 12, late in the 3rd in Game 6 in Indiana. Suddenly, the young Iman Shumpert WENT OFF, scoring 16 points in 6 minutes to head to the 4th Tied. Knicks were up 2 w/ 5 min remaining in the 4th. They were playing great ball. Melo went up for that dunk & the block completely changed the game & series. Knicks would’ve been up 4 w/ under 5 min to go w/ all the momentum. Instead, Hibbert blocks it, ties the game & the Knicks didn’t score for the next 3 minutes. Melo finished w/ 39 Points. Would’ve had at least 41 w/ the W.. Knicks beat the Pacers in Game 2 at the Garden by 26 & Game 5 at the Garden by 10. That Block really changed everything… Knicks matched up better w/ Miami than Indiana, that year. Indiana was TOUGH defensively w/ PG, Hibbert, West, Hill, Lance Stephenson, etc… I’m sure most ppl don’t care, but let me live the very little “Glory Days” of the 2010’s 😂… That 2012-2013 Knicks team finished 54-28. 1st in the Atlantic Division. 2nd in the Eastern Conference behind Miami. A mix of young talent, brought in a bunch of Vets & had the Superstar. Melo averaged 29 pts in the reg Szn & 29 pts in 12 playoff games. A lot of ppl forget this squad.. Carmelo Anthony Amare Stoudamire JR Smith Tyson Chandler Raymond Felton Jason Kidd Iman Shumpert Kenyon Martin Rasheed Wallace Steve Novak Pablo Prigioni Chris Copeland Marcus Camby Kurt Thomas Quentin Richardson Ronnie Brewer What a Squad ! Even if just for 1 year of being an awesome team together… Kidd turned that team around, his influence & leadership alone.. Melo was able to just play & JR Smith was very talented. 6th man of the year. Not the Cavs JR Smith. Tyson Chandler Defensive Player of the Year. Loved the way Felton played! Felt a lot like John Starks that season. Ah mannn.. Let’s Go RJ Barrett…

If it was AD, his superstar presence might have helped sales and it would have been okay'd. Paul Millsap just came off an all star year but he isn't exactly the most marketable player. Trades for AD would have been an even monetary value swap so its most likely a free agent signing which Paul was. Blake Griffon has stated he wanted to retire a Clipper.

5 years later and PG was 100% right about pacers ownership. The team only wants to be competitive enough and will never truly aim to contend unless by sheer luck. The only reason they started rebuilding now is because attendance was terrible and they need new blood in the arena.
