what the hell happened to Paul George?

[GovernmentMan]

dude been shooting like crap since January

[IncarceratedBob]

he let the hype get to his head

[Trentknicks]

He's been in a solid slump, but he was put on an overinflated pedestal by most here too early, so the fall's looked greater than it really has been.

bran was scared of him this year so he hired a stripper to get George pregnant with her money making womb

[20Four]

Same thing that happened to lebron....

No it has been pretty bad...He's putting up 20ppg in his last 25 games. But it's on 38% shooting. That doesn't sound too bad, but it's over 25 games.

He's had shooting nights of:

0-9
4-17
4-21
5-17
6-18
2-14
8-24
4-14
2-12
3-14
6-19
4-19

And today he's at 1-11...

I know the expectations were way too high, but still. He's been pretty damn disappointing. If he wasn't such a phenomenal defender, right now we'd be talking about him like he was a 6'10" Jennings.

This is the problem with calling people superstars after one impressive series and a solid stretch of regular season games. When the level drops, it looks like they're in free fall when the production just wasn't sustainable in the first place. George is good, but he's not really close to James or Durant.

He will raise his game massively against Miami though.

[All Net]

I'm sure come playoff time he will step up like last year.

[red1]

where branslowski?

you a knickerbocker fan doe

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

he's not who we thought he was.

he's letting his value drop, makes it easier for the lakers to swoop in and snatch him.

[navy]

No, he's inconsistent. You had a few good games and games of 3-10, 4-10, and 2-9 in Game 7 vs the Heat. He's no scrub but he was definitely over rated.

[TheReal Kendall]

Baby momma drama. Nikka stressed

[hitmanyr2k]

His game was going to fall off eventually. He settles for too many long jumpers and threes and when that goes he has nothing else to fall back on to get easier shots. He needs to work the midrange game more. He's an average slasher so he doesn't get to the foul line enough either. Since his offensive game has no diversity and depends too much on long range shots these slumps are going to happen often.

[JohnFreeman]

I was confused when people called him a superstar. I think he is a star, but he isn't somebody you have to have on your team.

[kamil]

Ever since he impregnated some random stripper hoe he's been playing like a scrub.

This is the normal Paul George. This question would've been better asked when he was shooting lights out and shit.

[DuMa]

he picked the wrong mentor

[20Four]

he picked the wrong mentor
LOL didnt he say he looked up to lebron? LOL

[JohnFreeman]

LOL didnt he say he looked up to lebron? LOL
No, he said he would like to work out with LeBron. He said he modeled his game around Kobe. Not sure who will carry PG to a three peat though

[Nuff Said]

LOL didnt he say he looked up to lebron? LOL
No, Kobe.

[20Four]

No, Kobe.
That was before...but in his latest interview didnt he say he wanted to pick leBRONZE brain ? He picked the wrong thing lol

Why don't you do your own research, and then comment accordingly?

This. Niigga is shook beyond belief. Mental midget.

[fpliii]

Can't believe how underrated he is on this board. SMH...

[KrizMiz]

its his team, now that granger is gone - he cant keep up with that.

but dont mind gyus, playoffs and he will be back in full motion!

My point since the start of the season. I've been watching ball too long to pre my pants calling someone a superstar. You have to have sustainable play at that level with teams game planning for you and knowing your tendancies, yet still able to dominate in order to be considered a true superstar.

I still remember the branslowskis, the faggy ass MarkMadsen's all over these nuts when I said he was good, but nothing close to being considered a superstar yet. Guy came crashing back down to earth, and realistic expecations in the first place.

[JohnFreeman]

LeBron and Kobe are the only superstars in the league.

[Smook A.]

LeBron and Kobe are the only superstars in the league.
Not Kobe. He'll probably never be the same either when he returns, unfortunately.

[JohnFreeman]

I think in just star power though, he is a superstar.

[MMM]

the league giveth
the league taketh away

Edit: long line of wings who aint as good as people make out to be

[Artillery]

LeBron and Kobe are the only superstars in the league.

13.8 ppg on 42%...definitely superstar numbers.

[IncarceratedBob]

13.8 ppg on 42%...definitely superstar numbers.
he's been injured this year. check out his numbers last year

d rose is a still a star in the league even though he hasnt played in 2 years

kobe is box office, he's a big deal, he's a superstar

[20Four]

U my son are a dumbass......:facepalm :facepalm

[bizil]

Perimeter wise, NOTHING really tops guys who are true alpha dog scorers and great all around players. I'm talking of course MJ, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Bron, West, Big O, Barry, Hondo, and Wade among others. As great all around as George is, he isn't quite on that level YET. And u can't forget alpha dog scorers such as Durant, Melo, Dr.J, Nique, King, etc. who can also dominate scoring in a fashion George can't. Until George proves he's a legit alpha dog, he has some work to do to be on these guys level in my book. Not saying he isn't capable, but those that are saying he's clearly a top 10 player in the L need to pump their brakes a bit. It's arguable, but I don't think its a lock quite yet. Even though I will say he's the fourth best SF in the L right now due to Pierce declining a bit. But hell even if at best he's more of a Scottie Pippen caliber player, that's great and a possible future HOF career.

[Sarcastic]

He got overrated way too quick. People actually tried to say he was a better pick than John Wall, let alone the talk that he was a top 3 SF.

He's a better pick than wall.

[Milbuck]

He's a better pick than wall.
You can't definitively say that.

Wall is putting up 20/4/9/2/1 on 43/36/81 shooting with elite defense for his position. He has legitimate superstar upside, as does PG. But I think if we consider in their play this season, Wall is closer to getting there.

Who knows what Wall would be doing if he had a supporting cast as strong as PG's, a front office with someone like Larry Bird, and a COY-caliber coach?

[andremiller07]

I would take John Wall over him

[Doranku]

He was never that good to begin with. I've said before that he won't become much better, if at all, than he was during last year's playoffs.

He's Joe Johnson with great defense. He's not a superstar, and will never become one.

[mr.big35]

nothing happened to him he will be back

[jzek]

Karma for getting a stripper pregnant while being engaged with Doc's girl.

[pegasus]

LeBron and Kobe are the only superstars in the league.

:facepalm

If KD is not a superstar, then Lebron is a scrub. Plus Melo has played like a superstar too. And Griffin, if he maintains his level in the playoffs, is also a superstar.

[D-FENS]

Baby momma drama. Nikka stressed

This and dressing like a complete fruit loop. Paula George, LeBronwyn James, Dennis Wade, Rose Westbrook - the NBA is full of sissies that dress like women.

[Mr Feeny]

I'm sure come playoff time he will step up like last year.

You would pray for that, wouldn't you? Anyways, we'll see. I don't think he'll put up spectacular numbers going up against a motivated LeBron.
