Paul George was the largest identify to alter areas this NBA offseason when he fled the Los Angeles Clippers to workforce up with Joel Embiid with the Philadelphia 76ers as he continues to pursue an NBA Championship.
It wasn’t probably the most stunning transfer, however the Clippers did make a robust push to maintain PG, which apparently wasn’t sufficient to beat the pitch that actor Kevin Hart made to lure him out East.
Hart not too long ago sat down with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks and revealed how he relentlessly texted Paul George a bunch of “Kevin Hart-type s***.” about how cool it might be to have him in Philly, together with hyping up the cheesesteaks and reminding him that it’s town of cohesion.

Hart joked that this technique could have value the Sixers up to now and different offers might need fallen by on account of him being annoying, although he apparently did this with James Harden as properly, however that one labored out.
George reportedly selected Philly as a result of the Clippers weren’t providing him a assured fourth yr in his contract, and in latest episodes of his podcast, he has talked about how being with the Clippers all the time felt like taking part in for LA’s B-team.
Philly is formally all in to maximise the championship window it has with Joel Embiid, who’s now 30 years previous and nonetheless hasn’t made it to a Convention Finals after going by one more damage on this previous postseason.
PG and Embiid can be a enjoyable duo to observe regardless, and all of us have Kevin Hart to thank for it.
