Going into Wednesday’s game, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George said he didn’t know what kind of reaction he would get when he visited Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time since spurning the team in free agency. Luckily for him, he didn’t have to wait too long to find out.
During pregame introductions, the home crowd gave George a warm welcome back hom to Southern California — and by that I mean they showered him with thunderous boos.
The boos didn’t stop once the game started either.
