It still feels like yesterday watching Paul George break his leg in a very gruesome way during team USA’s exhibition game in Las Vegas. When it happened everyone wondered would he even play again and if he did, would he be the same after the physical and mental pain that comes with a career threatening injury. Here we are however only six months later and I am happy to see Paul looking healthy and getting ready to return. He seems to have his bounce back as he is throwing down dunks with no problem. The Pacers for sure can’t wait to get him back.

NBA: Paul George: “Kobe is the second coming of MJ”
Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan for third on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. The milestone of course helped beef up the ever-going comparisons between the two legendary players. We’ve all noticed a shift however. Though most people still note that Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time, players these days note that they grew up idolizing and learning from Kobe Bryant. It makes sense since the younger generation didn’t really grow up watching Jordan in his prime. Paul George notes that Bryant has had a similar impact on the league as Michael Jordan in his era.

The war between Kobe Bryant and ESPN is continuing to brew. First they ranked him the 40th best player in the NBA. Bryant then responded by calling them idiots. ESPN then fired back saying they overrated him in the first place. Kobe then took another dig at the sports giant by calling them idiots yet again while telling rookie Julius Randle to be smart. And now we have this long and detailed article from ESPN which blames Bryant for the Lakers downfall. In addition to his contract extension, they also write details from anonymous sources saying that Bryant contributed to the Lakers inability to land a big star and whenever they did get one, Bryant drove them away (i.e Dwight Howard). One of the big stars they mentioned was Paul George but he denies the claim.
