I started coverin’ the Indiana Pacers in 2010 the same year Paul George was drafted. So I’ve watched this cat mishandle opportunities with the media his entire career. He never knows what to say or not to say to the media. Whatever direction you want to push him in he’ll go there. He never knows when to just be quiet or just be the jerk and just tell a reporter that “We ain’t talkin’ about that today” and move on.
If a reporter wanted to slam Lance Stephenson for showboatin’ or bein’ entertainin’, holler at PG. Light the fuse, set it up and he’s off to the races. “Hey PG do you think that Lance was out of line tonight for blowin’ in LeBron’s ear? PG’s comin’ right back with “Yes I think he was…” and so on and so forth.” He’ll never say that he disagrees or that’s my teammate and I’m ridin’ with him. That’s why, in my opinion, Lanced dipped the first time.
Last year everybody and their baby’s momma in the media knew that Paul wasn’t plannin’ to stay once his contract would have expired in summer of 2018. If you didn’t know that you weren’t doin’ your job. However, boyz would ask Paul what his plans were and he would do what he always does. He’d try to please the media by sayin’ what he thought we wanted to hear. That’s what got him jammed up before they traded him.
So let’s fast forward to Wednesday. He puts his foot in his mouth again because he wants to please the fans and media by sayin’ what he thinks they want to hear. When asked about how he felt about Russell Westbrook (Young Russ) speakin’ up on his behalf. He jumps out of the birthday cake butt naked foamin’ at the mouth talkin’ crazy givin’ way too much information about his status for next season.
Instead of keepin’ it to what Russ said he light-weight makes a commitment to stay in OKC way before he really needs to be talkin’ about it. Here’s what he said, “Russ is the reason why this decision is becoming even more easier to make, is the character Russ [has]. A stand-up guy, and he has his teammate’s back. We were actually joking before he went up there, and I’m like, ‘Nah, Russ, man, just let it go, let it go Russ. It is what it is, I wasn’t picked,’ and he was like, ‘Nah, man, P, that’s messed up. I’m gonna tell them something about that. It was awesome for a teammate to have your back and to stand up.”
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! All he had to say was Russ is my guy for standin’ up for me when he didn’t have to but he jumps all the way out of the cake tellin’ boyz that he’s probably goin’ to stay in OKC when he didn’t have to bring that foolishness up. Why? Because you already know that everybody in the state of Oklahoma will ask him that question for the rest of the season and now he’s backed himself into the same dugout he was in, in Indianapolis this past summer.
This is the foolishness that Paul George creates when there’s no need to. He’s been in the league for 8 years and he’s yet to figure out how to talk to the media. It blows my mind. There were times when boyz would ask him a question in the Pacers locker room and I literally would be standin’ there sayin’ to myself, ‘Don’t answer that bruh! It’s a set up!’ and boom there he goes off to the races. All in the weeds when he didn’t have to be there.
So just sit in the cut and wait on this foolishness to blow up in his face again. I know that I will and you can stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
