Paul George Calls Lebron His Idol, Says He Patterns Game After Penny, T-Mac and Kobe

[madness]

"It's a chance for me to see where I'm at, going against one of the best, if not, the best in the league. Another challenge to myself to go at LeBron."

"A bit later, he scrambled and blocked his idol, LeBron James, near the rim."

George also credits Shaw, along with head coach Frank Vogel, for helping him become an All Star in just his third year in the league. “He’s really helped me out,” George said of Shaw. “He’s the one that gets on me. If I’m not playing well, if things aren’t going right,
and he knows I’m the reason for it, he’ll let me hear about it.”

“Well I patterned my game after big guards. I always looked up to big guards like Penny Hardaway, Tracy McGrady and I always looked up to
Kobe growing up. I mean I don’t pattern my game after them but those were definitely the guys I idolised from a basketball standpoint growing up.
Just consistency, I can always get better at everything across the board but just being consistent is what I have to maintain.”

he also credits brian shaw and frank vogel

saw another thread on this, but that one was misleading as it only mentioned one player
