Paul George has been around in the NBA for as long as one can remember. Starting with the Indiana Pacers, he later joined the Oklahoma City Thunder. In 2019, he joined the LA Clippers, and it looks like he will be spending the twilight years of his career in the Clippers. Now that retirement is around the corner after a 14-year-long journey, the question of what reputation he will leave behind comes up.

In the end, the goal is to leave a lasting impression. This sits down very well with Paul George.
