Former Fresno State basketball star Paul George has faced many obstacles in his young career but none as scary as breaking his leg in a Team USA exhibition in 2014.
“It was a hard time going through it and just coping with it,” George said. “Being a professional athlete and being at the highest level, being athletic and relying on your athleticism, then when you have an injury and now you rely on other people. You just have doubts that you’ll ever get back to being the same.”
At the time, George was a budding star, and though the future for him looked bleak, he remained focused and determined to come back stronger than ever.
