Paul George Quotes

When I'm in the pick-and-roll, I'm looking to be a playmaker first and to score second. When I'm playing off the ball and I catch the ball, I'm looking to be a scorer first and a playmaker second.

Rondo is great with the steals, also on offense with the passing and court vision.

Really I can do everything on the court: pass, shoot, dribble, score.

My on-the-court game was ordinary. I had a jumper but needed screens. I could go right but not left.

My type of basketball is about how to create space, how to maneuver, how to get your shot off.

Getting the rebound and going, that's probably the most fluid part of my game.

I think I'm a good enough ball handler to bring the ball up the basketball court, and my teammates do a great job of getting open.

I feel like I can run the floor well, rebound and block shots and let the offense come.

You ask what position I play, I say point guard.

In college, I got better at playing the 2, kind of got a feel for it coming off screens, found my rhythm. Before that I was a natural point guard.

People aren't used to guarding this kind of size and I'm able to add a little finesse to my game so it has flavor and I'm a playmaker so I can create for my teammates and when I have to finish I'm gonna finish.

I want to be an offensive player, too. Play low post, midrange, take jump shots, and just be the best I can be.

Oh, yeah - I could see myself as a catch and shooter, come off curls and shooting. I really feel good about shooting the ball.

I guess I get the most notoriety from my shooting. But I like passing and movement, making the game easy.

The key word is 'control.' I have to get to the point where I can do it like Magic does. That means penetrating, scoring more, taking over on offense once in a while, increasing my range on the outside shot to open things up for the drive.

You don't get the ball and dribble; you get it and move it.

I can shoot the basketball, I can get to the basket.

A lot of people just think I'm a big man, but I'm a basketball player. I am able to do everything that a basketball player can do - from playmaking and scoring to just passing the ball and just being a leader and post presence.

I am very confident in my game, whether I'm shooting, driving or creating for my teammates.

You want to see range? Dame has range.

I'm never going to be a point guard, but you always have guards that get the rebound and take it coast-to-coast.

Basketball for me has always been a matter of rhythm - what you do bouncing the ball, how you bounce the ball, how you run, how you receive the ball to be in rhythm.

Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound.

I wasn't a bad basketball player, but I was far from the world's greatest. Good defense, no offense - that was me.

I'll always have a score-first mentality, because that is my bread and butter on the floor.
