Paul George

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.

Oklahoma, y'all truly made a big impact on me.

I have a goal to be the best player every time I touch that floor. Just be the best me.

The only thing I wanted out of Indiana was a chance to win my whole career there.

Usually I've had two jobs: be the best defender and the best scorer.

I think everybody, whether they have team goals or individual goals, I think everybody would like to be the MVP of the league. But that's not what my focus is. My job is just to give everything that I have, play as hard as I can, and just try to win as much as possible. If that makes me the MVP, then so be it.

I'm a family man now. I don't need no distractions; I don't need no big cities, no big lights, at this point in my career.

Winning takes precedence over all of it. That's the ultimate happiness. It's not location. It's not stardom. It's not 'where can I make the most money.' It's winning, and winning championships.

If my performance down the stretch lands me on the All-NBA, which I think I'm deserving of, then so be it. I'll be happy.

I felt I was in a good place with Oklahoma.

I know a little bit how it is coming back from an injury, trying to find your rhythm.

Nobody wants to play for a team that's not competitive.
