I know people are in shock from Paul George's injury. He will be able to bounce back bc he has a warrior mentality.

I said the same about Derrick Rose. They both have youth on their side and sometimes these injuries can make you

All you need to know about the seriousness of Paul George's injury is that I'm looking at Kyrie Irving sobbing,crying in his Dads arms.

If you're making fun of Kyrie Irving for crying over Paul George's injury, log off sports forever.
