Damian Lillard And Evan Turner Praised Paul George After Getting Destroyed By Him

Paul George is having a career year. The way he’s been playing this season, and especially as of late, puts him right on top of the MVP debate. It can only be between him, James Harden, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In his last twelve games, George is averaging 36 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2.5 steals. This included his first triple-double of the season Monday night against the Blazers. PG finished with 47 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists and impressed his opponents to a rarely seen (or at least admitted) extend.

After the game, Damian Lillard said:

“He’s on a different level. After watching him over the last 10 games or so, I catch a lot of their games, and then seeing him tonight, that dude is MVP. If they keep this up, he’s MVP.”

Lillard’s teammate Evan Turner confirmed: ”

2Everybody is going crazy for Giannis and James. Everybody I probably went up against, and no disrespect to other teams, they’re unbelievable, Paul is the best that we probably went up against all year. He’s at a completely different level. It’s hard to even explain.”
