Like this one
Damn that's a good one
“I can’t take nobody’s word if they can’t put it in writing” - PG.
That’s a LIFE LESSON!
Yea thats a bar
Bang Bang Bang 😂😅
don’t forget. Paul George be all talk and less action.
@@aweirdfilipino I think he will flourish with Philly
@@OmaAlkebulan-grace I see what you did there lol 😂
The insight behind the contract discussions is why i love player podcasts cant get these stories no where else
Facts
PG had on a Future NBA2k25 MyPark Outfit on this Episode😂😂😂😂
We’re for sure never getting Kawhi on the podcast 😂
😭😭😭
Or Russ and Harden 😓
we gettin joel though.
@@KiloCreates0_0 yeah lol
@@KiloCreates0_0 Harden is boring no one wants to hear him talk
You Gotta be “Philly P”
Literally the comment i was gonna make before i heard it
Seriously
Philly P Steak
Dr. J- dang
I'm a Sixers fan. So I'm here for the Philly P. But damn, imagine being a raptors fan and hearing that shit. You win a championship and you're either gonna be the team you were and are now or your team keeps KAWHI and trades for PG.. 😂😂
The fact that we traded the farm for someone we weren't willing to sign to a max contract blows my mind!!! Best of luck to you PG thank you for your time with the Clippers!
The fact PG feels he is worth that is what's crazy. He literally only had one healthy playoff run, can't beat Dallas for nothing, have far less accolade than Khawhi but wanted 60million more than him.
Any organization would have said GTFOH. He only went to phila bc they are desperate to compete with the division. PG's best years are in the past. This is like when PHX gave CP3 all that money
@@Cheflyfe_knittydid you listen to the podcast at all?
He wanted no more money then Kawhi and they never got to that offer.
@@arod68993did you listen to it? He made excuse after excuse they got to the same offer as kawhi and then he tried to throw in a no trade clause, that didn’t work then he asked for 4 years 212 😂 come on bro it was about the money he should just say that
@@Cheflyfe_knittyonly thing worst than a man is a broke and jealous one😂😂😂
@@arod68993he just jealous its not him😂😂
Man the negotiating during the season bit shines a lot of light on what these players actually go through. People act like these players are just robot commodities that do nothing but play basketball, but understanding this human element is what separates great organizations from sub par ones.
They’re getting millions to play ball. I can imagine they find places they like but it’s a business
You are correct bro nobody knows what they go through
Keep it simple. Just be Philly P.
Philly P sounds good
That 8 ball Paul sound fire 😂
@@zayytesla yea this is way better than Philly P, 8BallPaul 💯

we didnt even get a westbrook episode 😔😔😔
Once Westbrook is traded or signed with other team, they definitely will do episode
and the traitor will never get one
Westbrook sux!!!!
@@diroccomike72 CASUAL KID
PG a legend for ever in OKC. Man came and played for us, gave us his best, got us 6 picks and SGA, now hes guarenteeing 2 of those picks will be in the lottery. Thank u PLAYOFF P
PG's NBA story is freaking insane. From Fresno State to 10th overall draft pick, Indiana and Miami rivalry, team USA injury, recovering from injury, time in OKC with Russ and Melo, blockbuster trade to Clippers, playing with Kawhi, Russ, James, and now going to Philadelphia to play with Joel and Maxey.
But no playoff feats and/or championships, he's just a regular season great like Embiid, Harden, Beal, Booker, etc.
Would be cool to see him in a finals before he retires!
@@ALexander-ue3kjsomething you could never be😂😂
@@jenolez1143or you or me, dumb comment. The guys not wrong, might be a hater but not wrong.
@@ALexander-ue3kj Sadly it do be like that, doesn't make him any less great. PG is still a star in this league.
Man with you, Maxey, McCain, Oubre, that dribble handoff from Embiid finna be unstoppable. Welcome to Philly PG
interesting because PG has expressed that he doesn’t like playing off off ball screens and DHOs in the past. maybe he had a change of heart but who knows
The 76ers, at best, will make the ECF one time and lose over the next 4 years.
and still wont get past the 2nd round 😂
Don’t forget they also got rid of Tobias Harris’ useless ass
They have to get past Boston and NY. They don't have enough at all. Embid have to try to stay healthy. Especially coming off the Olympics. Good luck. He just went for the money, phila definitely not winning anything
Kawhi something else, dude in the locker room with champagne spillin everywhere plotting on his next team. I’m dead 💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂
PG is without a doubt one of the NBA's coolest guys. For a moment, Philly P has been my favorite player. Congratulations!
I related to Lou Williams' statement that "you get comfortable" when you return home, so I'm delighted you took a chance on yourself and are still striving for your goals in your prime! I hope Philadelphia gives you a ring! Now is the moment.
I actually really like and appreciate how PG went about his business. From him tryna not let it affect his relationship with teammates, negotiating and tryna give the benefit of the doubt with front office, openly addressing it with Kawhi, talking to the philly OGs and current star Embiid, and telling the fans the process.
I mean what more can you ask for when a dude is talking about his own choices and his own money?
Podcast P is a real dude. Thanks for your transparency. you didn’t owe it anyone. I hope for the best for you and the rest of your career.
Just dont beat the Lakers 😂😂😂
Go Lakeshow 😂
PG: "Just get me what Kawhi got"
Also PG: "Kawhi is number one, and Im totally fine with it. I'll publicly say Im the two and he's the one. There is no ego."
He wont beat anybody. He has the mentality of a loser. Always had and he proved right now that he still has it.

I’m happy this man got a podcast cause to hear how his negotiations went with the clippers is craaazy and totally makes sense why he kicked rocks so easily. 2 years for 60 is fuckin sickkkkk.

@@MrRisingclipswhy does it matter? players' salaries are determined by whatever the market is willing to pay. and there's more out there for the player than that.

As a Clipper fan, loosing you for nothing hurt..seeing SGA's rise and being left with no draft picks our future is sad..
As a die hard Clipper fan since 1996, thank you for the memories and we tried.. I was at game 6 WCF with my son..
As a man, you deserved every bit of this opportunity, not only did you get a bag and 4th year but you got an opportunity to line up with MVP caliber center and up and coming franchise PG..
I'm sad but it looks like a a brain dead yes it's a seemingly natural fit
2 year 60 is crazy *** edit *** disrespectful
For what it's worth I'm still subscribed and I can count channels I'm subscribed too on one hand.
PG needs to read this ****
GO CLIPPERS!
It was 3 years 150 😅
@@yomom91819 2 years 60 was the first offer and that's what started the negotiation process cuz he was like wtf.. he mentioned it
That man did nothing for that organization but lose to Dallas every year. It's fans like this that makes players feel like they actually did something outside of waste time.
PG: "Just get me what Kawhi got"
Also PG: "Kawhi is number one, and Im totally fine with it. I'll publicly say Im the two and he's the one. There is no ego."
He deserves no respect at all and will be hated in by the Clipper fans forever.

as a philadelphia die hard im tired of winning offseason championships even though they are nice to have
Philly philly
@johnnormanjohnson2644 Oh shut up.
All that just to lose 🤣🤣
The most highly anticipated podcast p episode in a min!
P Ocho! I am officially a fan of PG. I've appreciated his game at a high level over the years but I've been a Dame guy. Chauncey(know personally). A.I.(I'm from Virginia)and Dame are pretty much it for me as far as me calling myself a die hard fan of. I'm adding P Ocho to that list. I haven't wanted Philly to win since A.I. but I'm back on that philly wagon because of Ocho! As a man I respect how he stood on his box. How mindful he is about the reality of the situation. How he responded from that devastating injury. All that. I want to witness P Ocho get that ring! Respect.
This was an AWESOME episode....certainly up there as one of the BEST....loved every minute of it
that lou williams episode where he talks about how coming home, you get comfortable... i felt that, and im glad you betted on yourself and continuing to strive in this prime you still have! i hope you win a ring in philly! its time 😤😤😤
No, it ain't 😂

Ain’t no way we got PG and kelly oubre teammates before GTA6. 😂😂😂😂😂
Unquestionably, one of the coolest men in the NBA is PG. Philly P has been my favorite player for the moment. Best wishes!
Bro thought he was slick with the virtual pod a few weeks back
Everybody do virtual throughout they podcast
Oubre x PG gonna go crazy next season. Can’t wait to see them on the court together 🔥🔥
Pg trash
You’re assuming PG is going to stay healthy lol
@@muchidromedary.7368i mean he did play 74 games last season, he might could keep that up
@@Osumas at 34 years old, I doubt it

Just the views in one day shows you the love Philly has for basketball and the sixers
Best decision you EVER made, PG. Mark my words. Here we come. 🏆
Kelly Oubre and Paul George gonna be a vicious together.
Wing Position is crazy in Philly where Jeremy Jones and Tre Good when you needed it
Nahh
Lmao I just realized they gonna be on a team together
That’s what they said bout PG and Kawhi
@@alexc.7868 Yea kawhi might have a ring but personally I think oubre and PG will be a much better duo than whatever was going on in LA. Oubre has that fire and the emotion on and off the court that kawhi personally doesnt. Shit Oubre got hit TWICE in philly with a car and was glad to resign here and I cant say the same if that happened to kawhi lol
I seen 2 names that’s hard.. either “Philly P” or.. “8 Ball Paul” 🔥🔥
☄️☄️☄️☄️🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
he's still Playoff P and he will never lose that nickname after this move
@@spurs_7798he was never playoff p
8 ball p is dope literally
This might be the best NBA podcast episode to date. Love the honesty! This is what an interview looks like when there’s no narrative, just truth.
Was waiting for this one!
Philadelphia P without that California taxes Brodie can eat now P
Seriously lol all them eat but I guess
You understand write offs bro? Lol but I wonder if they get like a per diem or non taxable income since they’re incomes are so high and they also travel alot it would be hell filing taxes
@therealmvpee JJ talked about it on his pod awhile back, they have to pay a little bit of tax in basically every state they go to. They do get write-offs and expenses on certain stuff, but they still gotta pay state tax in like 30 different states depending on how much money they made for the games in those states. Sounded like a massive accounting headache 😂
It's in the CBA articles III and XVIII. Meal expenses are $156 per day for the 23-24 season and then are adjusted according to the Consumer Price Index going forward. Moving expenses are detailed in uniform contracts, like teams will generally cover the expense of moving one car (or two cars if the player is married).
thank you PG Lang ... i mean PG8 !!!
for a Kobe's fan to another ! I hope you get a ring this year !

Welcome to Philly PG!! Saquon Barkley has been playing alot of golf with his teammates and using it as a way to get to know the city and his teammates after coming over from the Giants. Hopefully you can get some rounds in with him and some other Philly athletes. I think you're going to love how close and connected all the Philly sports team are. Hope you and your family have a smooth move into Philly and the city makes you feel loved and welcomed. Can't wait to see you ball out for us this year. Welcome PZ 8.
He should’ve went to GSW. 💀

@@Thedeso18 clipper didn't want to trade him there lol they had to do a sign and trade and Clippers shut it down simply because they ain't want PG to stay in the West, and now the Sixers starting 5 consist of Maxey, Oubre, martin, PG, and Joel like sheesh
Naww It's "Philly P" all day now bruh....💯✊🏼✊🏼💯
I don’t know if you understand how excited Sixers fans are. So ready for you on this team. Can’t wait!

As a Sixers die hard who lives in LA, I understand the pull to want to live here, but so stoked to have you next to Embiid and Maxey. Doc is right. You’re the missing piece. Let’s get the first championship since that ‘83 season.
Also 2 years/60 is basically what Tobias got in Detroit. Can’t come back from that disrespect. Welcome to Philly!

Welcome to Philly, Philly P 💪🏾💯
Great episode fellas! Loved hearing about the contract negotiation process, Good luck in Philly, P!
Pg leaving the comfortability of his home to better his chances of getting a ring gave me a new found level of respect for him
Let’s be real he want going if clippers gave him what he want. Philly was the next best option.
Don’t like to urself he said a championship isn’t a priority before and even in this pod he said “but it’s an opportunity to win a championship” I’ve been a pg fan since Indy and I’ve never heard this little level of wanting a ring
Exactly ...and I'm really not all that sure he really wants to be here regardless of the $$$
I hope so ...we will see soon enough
@@mrawesome7175

Can’t wait to watch this year. Welcome to Philly.
PG is sooo excited to play with Embiid, it’s kind of funny 😂 he’s such an Embiid fanboy. You gotta love that.
2 years 60 is wild
California state taxes are crazy too but there must be more to that story because that simply doesn’t make sense. 😂😂😂😂😂
I came here to say the same exact thing that’s craziest shit I heard all offseason
@@mrawesome7175 What doesn't make sense to you exactly? They valued him at 60/2yr and he didn't like that number so he went elsewhere
Clippers probably wanted PG gone last year itself!
INSANE
Thanks PG....as a 28 year old life long clipper fan, growing up in los Angeles,yes that fandom is different, and that run, it did feel different being a clipper! My son is 7 now , so finally comprehending free agency and playoffs. But it was a blessing in disguise for him to grow up watching 4 different types ball at once. He'll thank me later.Definitely picked up change of speed from you! LET'S GO CLIPPERS!
Pg can teach KO sooooo much offensively and especially defensively bc KO can be good defensively he just needs more effort and i think pg know how not to strain ureself so much defensively while still being very effective and if he can teach that to kelly he can be something special
The real BBall Paul ! Glad to have you in Philly brotha !
Your the best fit in the league for the 76ers. Top 3 two-way player in the league. You and Kawhi.
