Do you remember how he accepted and met the challenge of defending LeBron James in those Pacers-Heat playoff wars? And how much respect James had for him? Well, Paul George isn’t that player anymore.

Fantasy Spin: Win Up To $50,000 Cash For $3 (Or Free With New Deposit)

November 17, 2015 by Kent Williams

As usual, we got a few things right on Monday, notably that Mario Chalmers is a great fit for the Grizzlies (29 PTS in 23 minutes) and that the Celtics are better than people think.
