Paul George: Westbrook is the reason why this decision is becoming even more easier to make

Paul George will re-sign with the Thunder during the next free agency?
George thanked Russell Westbrook for his support after not being named to the All-Star Game.

Per ESPN, "Russ is the reason why this decision is becoming even more easier to make, is the character Russ [has]," George said on Wednesday. "A stand-up guy, and he has his teammate's back."

"It was awesome for a teammate to have your back and to stand up," he said. "And to be honest, he should be a starter. He's been the MVP, been the best player at his position. He should've been a starter, but that's another story. But the fact Russ had my back, that's my guy forever, and it's more apparent what this decision needs to be made when it comes down to it."
