Los Angeles Clippers veteran forward Paul George has pointed out the player he considers the most difficult to beat when it comes to scoring.
The 33-year-old was recently quoted in a report stating that, for him, Jrue Holiday, currently of the Boston Celtics, has been the most difficult player to score against because of his spacing and his penchant for playing defense.
“Toughest player to score on? Probably Jrue [Holiday],” said
George. “Jrue got locks. He got locks. He’s strong as s**t. He’s quick. And he
loves to play defense. Like that is the worst thing.
“Like that’s the worst trait that you could go up against
somebody that loves to play defense. And those are always the toughest matchups
for me offensively when a guy is super shorter than me.”
George is having a more than decent season where he is
contributing 22.1 points per game which is the second-best by a Clippers player
in the ongoing campaign. That’s not it as he is also contributing 5.3 rebounds
and 3.6 assists per game.
His most impressive outing this season came in the match against
the Oklahoma City Thunder in January where he ended up registering 38 points to
go with seven rebounds and five assists.
