Paul George, of course, was his second game with the Sixers, but already his first game
00:07
back in L.A. with the, uh, seeing the Clipper fans, uh, and they gave him, I guess you could
00:13
call it, Scotty, a mixed reception, uh, last night, a smattering of boos, a couple of cheers
00:20
here and there.
00:21
Uh, George, uh, didn't seem very thrilled about that.
00:24
Does it bother you, though, at all that they booed you for large stretches of that game,
00:28
like, after five years here, playing that, playing your heart out for them, like, does
00:32
that bother you at all?
00:34
I mean, you know, it's stupid, um, I mean, I was a free agent, you know what I mean?
00:39
I was a free agent.
00:40
It wasn't something that I, you know, demanded a trade or, you know, went against the team
00:45
here.
00:46
Like, I was a free agent.
00:47
Um, the team presented something that was team-friendly, um, and I did what was best
00:54
for you, for me, in that situation.
00:57
So, there was the cheers.
01:00
I appreciate them.
01:01
Those were the ones that I played hard for.
01:03
Um, the boos, I, I didn't get it, I still don't get it when I go to Indy.
01:07
Um, but it is what it is.
01:09
It's sports.
01:10
That's what's in sports.
01:11
Are you kidding me?
01:12
I mean, honest to Christ, like, this is the simplest thing in the world.
01:17
When you play somewhere and leave, whether it's via trade, whether it's free agency
01:22
or whatever, and you go back, they give you the business.
01:27
It doesn't matter what you did.
01:29
It really doesn't.
01:31
They'll boo their mother.
01:33
I mean, are you kidding me?
01:35
These are fans.
01:36
They drink and get hammered and go to games and they, you're the enemy now.
01:41
You don't play for us anymore.
01:42
You're the bad guy.
01:43
That's how it is.
01:44
These guys, I can't believe they boo me.
01:46
Well, let me, here's another news slash for you, uh, Paul.
01:49
You were there five years.
01:50
You never did Jack Shaq.
01:52
You never did.
01:53
And that's why I put up a bunch of numbers.
01:55
He is a numbers guys like Damian Lillard.
01:58
He, all he does is put up his big numbers and never wins Shaq.
02:03
I mean, honestly, but that's, and that's the difference.
02:06
Like, you know, if the only way you avoid that getting booed when you're, is if you
02:11
bought them a championship, Jordan.
02:13
All right.
02:14
And like, even like another small example, like, you know, when Kawhi goes to Toronto,
02:19
you know, that's the one year he was there.
02:21
He brought him a championship.
02:22
I think that they are, they're pretty good to Kawhi.
02:25
When he goes up to play the Raptors, you know, they, they, they love him for what
02:28
he did, bringing them their only title.
02:30
You look at other sports, you can find the last time he played.
02:35
Might've been the last time he played, but still, if you don't win a title
02:39
somewhere and yeah, I mean, it was only five years.
02:42
It wasn't like he was there for 20, you know, five and they did nothing.
02:47
And he barely played half the game.
02:49
So get over.
02:50
And he's, did you hear him slip into at the end?
02:52
I don't understand why I still get it in Indiana too.
02:55
He's still upset that he gets booed in Indiana.
02:59
He begged out of Indiana.
03:01
This guy makes so much effing money.
03:04
Who cares?
03:06
Who boos you?
