It may be a new team, but it appears to be the same old Paul George.
The Philadelphia 76ers star George raised some eyebrows on Friday with comments he made after a 123-115 loss to the Western Conference-worst New Orleans Pelicans. George, who has seen some time at center this season with Joel Embiid continuing to miss games with injuries, said that he was “bored” with having to play the center role.
“I’m used to scrapping and running around and chasing and fighting through screens,” said George. “To be honest, I’m bored playing [at] the 5. It just don’t do enough for me.
“I enjoy chasing the little guys,” he continued. “Matching up against wing offensive players.”
George did also acknowledge, though, that he was “mindful” of his ability to help clog up the middle. Here is the full clip.
