“I’m coming back with a vengeance”: Clippers star Paul George reveals that he’s out to prove himself this 2020-21 NBA season

Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George says he wants to address all the hate he’s received and is “coming back with a vengeance”.

Following the Los Angeles Clippers’ historic collapse in the 2020 NBA Playoffs against the Denver Nuggets, Paul George had become the pseudo-scapegoat for his team’s misfortunes.

Everything ranging from George hitting the side of the backboard in crunch time to him scoring merely 5 points in a Game 7 was used against the 6’8 swingman to poke fun at him.
