Paul George on the vibe he got from signing with the Clippers: 'I'm on the B team'

“I think I'm taking the pressure off Joel,” George said. “I think I can help him get through the season healthy. And again, it doesn't put so much pressure on him. No matter how good you feel, I think stress causes a lot of injuries as well, and you think you have to be overplayed, you have to touch everything you have, that kind of just bothers you, especially how you are physically. “So that's the key. Everyone has to do their part, make sure that we work on our bodies, and that we don't just put that pressure on one person to go out and win games for us.” -via ESPN / July 23, 2024
