Kevin Durant calls Pacers’ Paul George his ‘favorite player’
Kevin Durant calls Pacers’ Paul George his ‘favorite player’ Because when the Warriors host the Pacers on Monday night, Kevin Durant will not only match up against one of his elite counterparts. “He’s my favorite player in the league,” Durant said of George at shootaround. Unlike Durant, a prodigy groomed for greatness since grade school, George was the prototypical late-bloomer. A lightly touted prospect coming out of Knight High School outside Los Angeles, he spent two seasons at Fresno State before the Pacers took him 10th overall in the 2010 NBA Draft. The two became close playing together for the U.S. national team.
