Now 35, Paul George is accepting a decreased workload in exchange for a better shot at winning.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has seemingly learned from the superstars who came before him. Rather than clinging to what was and refusing to accept a lesser role based on reputation and talent, he's buying in to what Nick Nurse is selling and helping the 76ers win as a supporting player.
Countless stars have seen their careers derailed by their unwillingness to accept a less prominent role as they enter their mid-to-late 30s, but George is avoid that fate by embracing the team's needs.
