Paul George simply changed his mind.
It happens a lot when you are put in a new situation and then realizes that you really like it. I have no problems with him staying in OKC, you always should do what makes you happy.
“When I told the Pacers I wanted to play [in LA], that was true feelings,” said George, a native of Palmdale, Calif. “I wanted to come back home. To play for home, to put that jersey on for family and for what I grew up watching. I wanted to carry that legacy. But I went to Oklahoma, fell in love with it and I’m happy with the decision.”
“I’m a family man now,” the 28-year-old George said of his decision. “I don’t need no distractions, I don’t need no big cities, no big lights, at this point in my career. For as beautiful as Oklahoma is, it doesn’t have big lights and none of that. But that’s fine. … I’m a low-maintenance, low-key, chill guy. I’m not out in the streets, I’m not out in the club, at parties, I’m not really at movie premieres. After games, after practice, I’m home, I’m with my kids, I’m with my girl, and I’m chilling.”
George has settled down with the woman he had a one night stand with on a Miami Yacht. She got pregnant and they had a long legal battle about it (she claimed he tried to pay for her to have an abortion), before realizing they were meant to be together. They now have a second child and are living happily ever after.
