The NBA felt more than a little empty for most of the season last year as Paul George recovered from his horrific broken leg. George’s return for the final six games of the season was more of a reminder of his absence than a cheerful moment. He was back, but not enough to really celebrate, and not really back to the Paul George of old.
It’s a totally different story this season. George, the old Paul George, the Paul George who routinely threw down amazing dunks with little effort, is back. If there was any doubt of that fact, just watch this casual reverse dunk on repeat.
