Paul George heading into prime years for Pacers, time to be the man

Paul George celebrates his birthday on Saturday reminding us that time flies and the Pacers young star is now heading into his prime playing years. Will he be the man for the Pacers?

Happy birthday to Paul George as the Pacers star turns 25 on Saturday. Suddenly, the self-tabbed 'Young Trece' (or @yg_trece to be exact) isn't so young in the context of NBA years.

Be sure to send a birthday tweet today to @Yg_Trece. Happy birthday, PG! pic.twitter.com/STptipNk2z

PG earned a max deal with his development as a young player and as he begins his prime years, the Pacers are betting on George to be the team's franchise player.
