The first episode deals with how George got here, briefly detailing his rise to stardom in Indiana, the leg injury there that cost him almost a full season and his departure from the Pacers via trade to Oklahoma City.

There’s familiar territory covered here. George says he wanted to play his entire career with the Pacers, but his agent Aaron Mintz says that changed when some key pieces from George’s Pacer heyday moved on. He reiterates that George wanted to let the Pacers know he wouldn’t be returning so Indiana could get value in a trade.
