Paul George: I feel like I can be in the category of LeBron

Paul George talked with SLAM about his present, his future and his goals. George is SLAM 174′s Cover Story. 

Per SLAM “I have goals,” George says. “I want to be MVP. I want to be Defensive Player of the Year. I want to be First-Team All-NBA. I want to be a Gold medalist. I want to be a Hall of Famer. I want to be a Champion. Everything that’s the highest or the greatest that you can do, I want to do that.”
To be sure, George doesn’t sound boastful or braggadocios when he makes these proclamations. His teammates love him and he’s quick to praise them; he articulates his goals matter-of-factly; and he sprinkles in just enough talk about what he needs to improve on to make everything sound, well, believable. “I’ve got to be a better floor general, and I’ve got to get better at being consistent,” he says. “I took strides in my consistency, but if I want to get where I want to get to, I need to continue being a consistent basketball player. I feel like I can be in the category of LeBron, as far as being a walking triple-double guy.”
