Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George has set his sights on Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, challenging him to a one-on-one football matchup this summer. George, a prolific scorer and three-time NBA All-Star, wants to test his skills against one of the best defensive backs in the NFL.
Ramsey who has been selected for the Pro Bowl 3 times in his career, is sure to give George a run for his money on the football field. However, George may want to focus on his current task at hand: preparing for the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
“I think I’m elite. If I’mma challenge a football player, I gotta go for the best. Jalen, Derwin [James], I want the smoke this summer, me and you, one-on-one. After that, we can play ones in basketball, but I need that football smoke.”
Paul George also shared his thoughts on his individual interaction with Terrell Burgess:
“I’m literally at home watching Ochocinco, Randy Moss, I’m watching Odell, I’m watching these dudes like, ‘How the f**k do they get off the line?’ Fast forward so now we’re on the field TB (Terrell Burgess) is like ‘Alright come on P, I’ll guard you.”
The Clippers are set to take on the Phoenix Suns in the first round, and George will be sidelined due to an injury. The star forward had a strong regular season, averaging 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game, but missed several games due to injury.
Twitter’s Response to Paul George’s Challenge
Despite Paul George’s impressive performance in the regular season, some fans and Twitteratis were quick to criticize his decision to challenge Jalen Ramsey to a one-on-one football matchup.
“He doing everything but playing the Suns this playoff,” one Twitter user commented, implying that George should be focused on the Clippers’ upcoming playoff series rather than seeking out extracurricular activities. Here are some of the other reactions:
Regardless of the mixed response, George’s challenge to Ramsey shows his competitive spirit and desire to push himself to the limit. It remains to be seen if the matchup will actually happen, but one thing is for sure: Paul George will continue to strive for greatness on and off the court.
