Paul George wore an Allen Iverson shirt to negotiate with the 76ers

Paul George made his intentions clear during his meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers, wearing an Allen Iverson shirt to the meeting. George agreed to a four-year deal with the Sixers on Sunday, joining forces with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

The Los Angeles Clippers refused to offer Paul George a fourth year on his contract, leading him to explore other options. Despite Kawhi Leonard’s three-year extension in January, George and the Clippers couldn’t come to an agreement.

The Clippers released a statement praising George’s talent and contributions to the team, ultimately appreciating the five years of contention they had with him. George’s choice of outfit, an Allen Iverson shirt, made it clear he was destined to join the Sixers.

Iverson is a legendary figure in Sixers history, and George hopes to achieve what Iverson couldn’t— bringing a championship to Philly. George’s addition to the Sixers makes them a formidable team in the Eastern Conference.

Paul George joins 76ers, sets sights on Celtics’ throne

The Philadelphia 76ers made a significant move in the NBA offseason, signing nine-time All-Star Paul George to a $212 million deal. This addition has strengthened the team’s chances of winning the NBA championship, with their odds being cut nearly in half.

Furthermore, George’s arrival is expected to have a significant impact on the team’s performance, especially after a disappointing first-round exit in the playoffs last season. Despite having a talented roster, the 76ers have failed to reach the NBA Finals or conference finals since 2001.

In addition, the signing of George and the addition of center depth with Andre Drummond‘s two-year deal have made the 76ers a more formidable team in the Eastern Conference. With the Boston Celtics being the favorites to win the conference, the 76ers’ moves have set up an exciting rivalry.
