Paul George explains why he has beef with Chris Paul

Two former LA Clippers stars are apparently not fond of one another.

On the latest episode of his show “Podcast P,” Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George spoke out about his beef with San Antonio Spurs guard Chris Paul. George said that he used to have a close relationship with Paul, but that changed when Paul used objectionable language towards him while on the basketball court.

“It’s one thing, you build a relationship, then you get on the court, and you start saying wild s–t,” George said. “Like, damn, have you always felt this way? … He hurt my feelings with that. I thought we was tighter than that. And then we get between these lines and certain words were thrown out that I didn’t expect from you.

“The CP situation … I would work out with CP in the summers,” added George of Paul. “We were working out together. And it was a brotherhood that I thought was with CP … Then we get into the series, and the words get thrown out there. ‘Hold on, like what? Where did this come from?’ … We had a moment this year where we started mouthing off, and the words were thrown out there again. It is what it is. It’s up every time I see him. It is what it is at this point.”

George also said that he used to speak with Paul all the time (as the two shared an agency, CAA Sports) and that he even got LASIK surgery on the recommendation of a doctor from Paul. You can watch the full clip below (but watch out for the bad language).
