His name may be quite common, but Paul George enters the NBA as a relative unknown after playing just two seasons at WAC also-ran Fresno State. This season he hopes to change that.

"Not too many people know too much about me," he said. "I didn't play at a big-time school. I just made the most of where I was at. I didn't really get a chance to show people what I'm capable of. "

Sharing a position with Pacers mainstay Danny Granger could limit his opportunities. But George said he was working on his ballhandling to try to change that.

"Danny's going to do what he does," George said. "He's an amazing player and the star of our team. To get a chance to play the 2-guard and play alongside him would definitely be a dream."

Someone might have already said this but I dont really care.

As i sat there watching the 30 for 30 Reggie Miller vs the New York Knicks i couldn't help but ask myself one question throughout.  Why don't players play that tough or with that much intensity anymore?  Those guys played hard like they actually wanted to win.  Can you imagine going in for a dunk against the Knicks or Pacers of the 90's?  He wouldn't stand a chance.  Sure there are some players who are going 100% throughout the game but back then basically everyone played like that.  Maybe if David Stern would get off of LeBron and Kobe and let everybody play the game of basketball just like in college the NBA wouldn't be losing millions of dollars every year.  Let the players play harder and show more intensity instead of calling fouls every time Lebron or Kobe goes towards the basket.  Thats just what i think.
