Paul George returned to the city where he spent five NBA seasons as the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers. Nonetheless, he received a cold reception from certain supporters.
It’s not always simple to go back to a familiar location. Someone might not like your leave, regardless of how successful you were or how much you enjoyed your time there. In Game 9 of the NBA regular season, Paul George of the Philadelphia 76ers made a comeback to play the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome.
Paul George’s reaction towards Clippers fans who were booing him
Not every fan embraced George’s return, even though the Clippers had prepared a tribute film that featured his best moments from his five seasons with the franchise. The crowd jeered as several held posters that read, “PG, think before you speak.”
In the end, the Clippers’ outstanding play helped them win, while the Sixers’ struggles without Joel Embiid persisted. George responded to the supporters’ dissatisfied response to his return after the game: “I mean, it’s stupid. I was a free agent. It wasn’t something that I demanded a trade or went against the team. They presented a team friendly offer and I did what was best for me.” “There were cheers; those are the ones I played for. There were boos; I didn’t get it.”
