Paul George Loves to BLAME Others After Making A Mistake
Paul George Loves to BLAME Others After Making A Mistake
Paul George and Tyrese Haliburton agree that if a teammate doesn’t catch a lob, it’s always going to be the catcher’s fault.
Have you ever played basketball with someone who’s constantly blaming others after they make a mistake?
(Or, are you that person?)
Or have you seen an NBA player make a huge mistake and then immediately start yelling at a younger teammate, like “dude, catch the ball!”?
Well, it’s something that happens often in the NBA and is also something that Paul George does frequently.

On an episode of Podcast P with Paul George, George admitted to his guest, Tyrese Haliburton, that he’s quick to blame others after throwing a bad pass. Haliburton also chimed in, agreeing with George.
“Make them look bad… like ‘bro, what the f—k?” George said as he laughed.
“I love when dudes do that, huh,” Haliburton said with a beam on his face. “There’s so many dudes in the NBA that are ‘yo, what you doing?”
“I’m the king of that, though,” George said. “I make a bad pass and I’m quick to deflect that sh-t.”
“Every time,” Haliburton quickly responded. “I don’t ever have a turnover that’s my fault.
“And as soon as we get to the back, I be like, ‘Yo fam, that was my bad. I look crazy.’ Looking back, because they always gonna pan to you and they be like, ‘Tyrese is yelling at him like he must not do the right thing.’ I’ll be like, ‘yo fam, you’re gonna have to take that one on the internet. I’m sorry, man.’”
Hilarious.
Final Thoughts
It’s pretty funny how players are so intense on the court when they deflect.
But after the play is over or the game is over, and they find out it’s their fault, they just admit to being wrong and joke about it later on.
It shows how humble most of these guys are and that their intensity on the court is not who they really are.
