For the first time since snubbing his hometown Los Angeles Lakers for the Oklahoma City Thunder this summer, Paul George talked about his shocking decision to re-sign on a long-term deal with OKC instead of coming home to L.A.
WARNING: This story is not for the faint of heart.
On Thursday, George told Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated that while his heart was in Los Angeles last year, the Thunder organization made a strong and lasting impression on him over the course of the season.
“When I told the Pacers I wanted to play [in LA], that was true feelings,” said George, a native of Palmdale, Calif.
