Paul George: 'My interest for the Lakers has been overstated'

George is now a player of the Thunder

NBA

In a long interview with Sports Illustrated, forward Paul George talked about the rumors that linked him to the Lakers in last year. George, now a member of the Thunder, said that those rumors have been overstated:

 

"I grew up a Lakers and a Clippers fan. I idolized Kobe [Bryant]. There will always be a tie here, a connection here. People saying I want to come here, who doesn't want to play for their hometown? That's a dream come true, if you're a kid growing up on the outskirts of L.A., to be the man in your city. But it's definitely been overstated. For me, it's all about winning. I want to be in a good system, a good team. I want a shot to win it. I'm not a stats guy. I'm playing this game to win and build a legacy of winning. I've yet to do that. I'm searching for it. If we get a killer season in Oklahoma, we make the conference finals or upset the Warriors or do something crazy, I'd be dumb to want to leave that."
