Pacers head coach Frank Vogel may have painted George’s virtuoso performances best. “He's the leading scorer on the fourth-best team in the NBA and I think everyone has to ask the question, if Bruce Bowen was averaging 17 points a game and leading his team in scoring, would he be an All-Star every year?” Vogel said after Tuesday’s win over Miami. George is simply doing it all and carrying his team on his back despite their battles with injuries as Danny Granger continues to sit due to his left knee, Roy Hibbert leaving the game with back spasms, and George Hill battling bronchitis. “They are for real,” Knicks center Tyson Chandler said about the Pacers after the game. NBA.com

Asked what his adjustments would be once longtime team leader Danny Granger comes back into the lineup, George’s approach was as unselfish as his play all year long. "If anything, I hope my assists will go up," George said. In an interview with this scribe after the game, George pointed out how much the time he spent with perennial All-Stars such as James and Kevin Durant during the offseason has helped him elevate his game this season. “I spent a lot of time with LeBron (James), KD (Durant), Amar’e (Stoudemire), Rudy (Gay),” George told NBA.com Philippines. “I really picked their minds and it really helped me moving forward as far as understanding the game a little bit […] just for one, the way they carry themselves, I think that alone help them on the court – just the presence that they carry – and that’s something I’ve picked up from them.” NBA.com

They desperately want Paul George to show he can be their go-to guy so they can move Danny Granger, but George only shows it in fits and starts. He has the talent but maybe not the temperament. I see a leadership void with the Pacers. They are very up and down in their effort. CSNBayArea.com

Indiana Pacers' Paul George and the Golden State Warriors' David Lee today were named Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, Dec. 10, through Sunday, Dec. 16. George led the Pacers to a 3-0 week which included wins over Central Division rivals Cleveland and Detroit. George averaged 23.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks. He shot .474 from three-point range on the week and ranks eighth in the league with 54 made three-point field goals on the season. Lee helped the Warriors to a 3-1 record which included wins at Miami and Atlanta. Lee tallied 22.8 points on .606 shooting from the field, 12.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals. He posted a point-rebound double-double in all four contests and extended his double-double streak to seven consecutive games – the longest such streak in the NBA this season. USA Today

Indiana has played better lately, but the Pacers are still willing to talk about making an adjustment here or there, though they aren't willing to talk about either George Hill or Paul George, according to sources. NBA.com

Paul George had a monster night on Wednesday, pouring in 37 points and helping his team to a much-needed overtime victory over the Hornets. The majority of those points came from three-point distance, as George hit 9-of-13 from long range to just bury New Orleans in buckets. NBCSports.com

When LeBron James is impressed with a dunk, you know it's the real deal. James tweeted this about a slam by Indianapolis Pacers forward Paul George: "The homie @King24George got crazy bounce. Just saw him reverse 360 b/t the legs windmill at the Nike FOS in Shanghai. No warmup #sick." And sure enough, the dunk was worth the hype. In the video below, George throws down a reverse, 360- degree, between-the-legs, windmill dunk. If that sounds like a mouthful, wait till you see the actual dunk. George put down a similar jam at the 2012 Slam Dunk Contest, but he added the between-the-legs twist. http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/clip-board/201208/nba-stars-insane-dunk Yahoo! Sports

I’m surprised the Pacers didn’t “suggest” to George to workout in Indy this summer. Playing on the summer league team with Stephenson and Pendergraph wouldn’t be a bad idea, either. George is scheduled to play on the USA Select Team next month. That will be good experience for him, but it wouldn’t hurt for him to be at the fieldhouse working out with the coaching staff.
