Paul George’s harsh message to LA Clippers fans goes viral

Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George spent five seasons with the LA Clippers before signing a four-year contract worth $212 million with Philly this offseason. Facing his former team at Intuit Dome for the first time, George had some thoughts on how the fans received him.

“I mean, it’s stupid,” George said of the boos. “I was a free agent. It wasn’t something I was demanding a trade or going against the team… There were cheers. I appreciate them. These are the ones I played hard for. The boos, I didn’t understand. I still don’t understand when I go to Indy. But that’s how it is.”

The Clippers’ special fan section, “The Wall” at the Intuit Dome, contained messages for George throughout the game, including one that told him to think before he speaks.

This was in reference to comments George made on his show Podcast P after leaving the team.

George responded to this with a harsh message for Clippers fans in the latest episode of his podcast.

“What did I say that was wrong?” George asked. “I didn’t call the Clippers ‘the B team,’ I said it was like the B team… But they proved me right. They’re not packing the Intuit Dome. It’s are you the one at home… Come on fucking support them.

George’s message for his former fans has gone viral on social media. This isn’t the first time the nine-time NBA All-Star has lashed out at the lack of fans inside the Intuit Dome.

“It was awesome,” George said of Intuit Dome while standing in the visitors’ locker room. “I wish it was a little more full. I didn’t think it was full enough for it to be the Clippers’.

Not understanding why Clippers fans booed him, George had more words for his former fan base in Wednesday’s podcast episode.
