ESPN (DR) / NBA (DR)

Although no one has any illusions in the ROTY race as Victor Wembanyama dominated the competition, the other rookies continue to progress.

To this end, Paul George wanted to give some good advice to one of the rivals of the young Spurs star.

This year, it must be said that we are quite spoiled in terms of new talents. Because if many only have eyes for Victor Wembanyama after his numerous records, it must also be recognized that other players starting in the league are worth the detour.

Chet Holmgren is arguably the Spurs rookie’s biggest rival at the moment, but Brandon Miller’s name is also causing a stir.

Initially, it was not necessarily for a sporting exploit that he was talked about, but rather for his words during last summer.

Indeed, the Hornets winger declared that Paul George was the GOAT according to him .

This opinion did not go unnoticed on the basketball world, far from it, and had reached the ears of the Clippers superstar.

He recently reacted to the microphone of Ohm Youngmisuk from ESPN .

Paul George’s advice for a Wembanyama rival

People made fun of him when he said I was his GOAT.

And I had to tell him, “Dude, be yourself. Accept what you feel. » It’s about knowing who inspires you.

I know what he meant. Obviously I’m not the greatest player to ever play the sport.

It is true, Brandon Miller is not the only one of his generation to have such esteem for Paul George .

For his 14th season, the All-Star is having another great year for the Clippers with 22.5 points at 47.1% success, 40.6% at 3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

The fluidity of his movements, his offensive arsenal and his defensive qualities make him one of the most popular athletes in the NBA. In the star winger’s eponymous podcast, Brandon Miller notably explained his statement.

It’s really a great moment for me to join the league.

I’ve been admiring Paul George for a long time, studying his game, stealing his moves and adding my own touch.

And now that I’m here with him, having the opportunity to compete against him, I think it’s an even better experience.

Author of a great first year of his career with 16.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists on average, the 2nd pick of the 2023 Draft lives up to his rank, which bodes well for the future of the Hornets.

But the important thing will be for him to remain true to himself. The young nugget will then have to use her promising beginnings in order to rise to the same level as her idol.

In the new generation, many people admire Paul George.

Brandon Miller is one of them and even considers him the GOAT.

Flattered, but aware, that this opinion remains very subjective, the Clippers superstar nevertheless advises Victor Wembanyama’s rival to stay himself in order to become better.
