Theo Ratliff: One thing Paul George does that James Harden didn't do is play defense
Former Sixers All-Star Theo Ratliff hopped on Sirius XM’s NBA show and gave his thoughts on Philadelphia adding Paul George: One thing Paul George does that James Harden didn’t do is play defense. So with the dynamics of having a scorer that has played in an All-Star role for a long time, and also knows how to defer to other All-Stars, I think it’s a great acquisition, because he’s one of those guys that he wasn’t the All-American, the All-Star guy coming into the league.Source: Sixers Wire

An example of a “wrong foot” finish would be Harden taking a layup with his left hand while jumping off his left foot and raising his right knee in the air. – 7:48 PM

DeMar DeRozan: “Kobe is my GOAT, all that, everything, but what’s real is real. The s*** James (Harden) was doing—I don’t think we’ll ever see that again.” -via YouTube / August 26, 2024

The 14-year veteran then offered overall advice to the incumbent rookie for the 2024-25 campaign. “Just be authentic, man. We’re going to gravitate around you. You’re going to gravitate around us. It’s a long year; what you will realize is this isn’t college anymore where it’s 30 games,” George explained. “It’s eighty f****** two games, plus playoffs, plus preseason, it’s a long f—ing year. Just be a sponge, man, be yourself. Be a leader as well. Don’t look at it that just because you’re the youngest one on the team, where you’re a rookie that, you can’t lead in the locker room, lead on the court, lead in practice.” -via Clutch Points / August 26, 2024
Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jared McCain hasn’t heard a peep from his superstar teammate Joel Embiid, and quite frankly, he’s nervous about it. In a recent interview on Podcast P with Paul George, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, McCain spoke with his new 76ers teammate about spending time with Sixers All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey, but he has yet to hear from the 2022-23 NBA MVP and recent gold medalist. “Not with Joel,” McCain replied when asked if he’d interacted with the seven-time All-Star center. “Maxey, I worked out with him this morning. I went golfing with him. I’ve got to meet Maxey more. I haven’t had any interaction with Joel; I’m a little nervous about that one.” -via Clutch Points / August 26, 2024
George, who signed a four-year, $211.5 million contract with the 76ers over the summer, assured the Sixers’ 16th overall pick that he and Embiid would get along just fine. “No, you’ll f*** with Joel, man; Joel is a big kid,” George told McCain. “You’ll f*** with Joel.” -via Clutch Points / August 26, 2024
