Man, that shot he hit in gm 1 was a damn desperation shot, it ain't like it was a designed play. He shot it from 35 feet to get a shot off because time was running out. The Pacers were in that series primarily because of Roy Hibbert. PG was MIA on too many occasions on both offense and defense. I've watched him all season and he does a little bit of everything well but he doesn't stand out in any particular aspect of the game. Decent scorer/shooter...good passer...good rebounder...solid defender...not really a leader and no obvious intangibles

He's a star by accident. No one (not even him) saw him having the season he had. You're born w/an alpha dog mentality, it's not something you acquire and I can tell you that that's not who George is. He has a chance to become a "poor man's Scottie Pippen" which is nothing to downplay...*if* he reaches his potential.

He's a co-star, not a leading man.
