To all the COD fans out there, Paul George brings our attention to a classic one-liner that a newbie would say when playing Call of Duty. Talking about the trailer release of GTA VI, Dallas Rutherford confesses that he is a COD fan. While Jackie Long wasn’t enthusiastic about it as much as Rutherford, the two had gotten together for a game the other day.

Talking about the same, he further says that they had three kills. George pounces on it immediately and says, “A whole 20 minutes of gaming, he had three kills. And do y’all want to know why? … He said, “I was snipin’.” That’s the first excuse when you don’t got that many kills.” Talk about emotional damage!

Long, an actor, producer, and most recently, a voice actor for Grand Theft Auto 5, makes a cameo appearance in the latest version of the same. Unfortunately, he isn’t the best at COD. But Paul’s love for gaming started way before he was in the NBA.

Of course, it wasn’t just video games that he beat them in. Any and every sports activity that caught his eye, Paul would be at the forefront.

Growing up, he was obsessed with PlayStation, like many other kids of the generation. He still loves PS but is slowly making the transition to PC. And when an opportunity came along that enabled him to collaborate with them, he took it.
