Paul George has found new life since joining the Boston Celtics as part of the Jaylen Brown trade, and he believes they’ve done what the Philadelphia 76ers couldn’t.
George had an excellent outing against the 76ers in his first game back since the trade, helping the Celtics win a massive Eastern Conference clash.
During his two years with the 76ers, George faced heavy criticism for his availability and his lack of strong and consistent performances. But that hasn’t been the case with the Celtics so far.
Paul George says Boston Celtics are allowing him ‘more usage’ which Philadelphia 76ers never did
Speaking to NBC Sports after the game, Paul George explained what the secret has been to his turnaround with the Boston Celtics.
While he didn’t criticise the Philadelphia 76ers, he pointed out that the Boston Celtics give him more opportunities to have the ball in his hands and be an active conductor of the offence.
