乔治拿2亿赛场养老引不满：费记直言签他彻底失败 库兹马都比他强

On February 10th, 2025, during an NBA regular season game, the Philadelphia 76ers fell to the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 127-135. Despite the presence of Philadelphia's big three—George, Maxey, and Embiid—the Bucks played without their star, Giannis, who was sidelined due to injury. In this context, the 76ers' loss heavily fell on Paul George’s shoulders.

Throughout the game, George played 29 minutes, made 4 of 8 shots, including 2 of 6 from beyond the arc, and contributed 12 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, and 1 turnover, shooting 50rom the field. For a superstar earning $212 million over 4 years, how could he manage only five shot attempts? Meanwhile, Embiid took 14 shots and scored 27 points, while Maxey attempted 23 shots and contributed 39 points. Shouldn’t George feel embarrassed by this disparity?

In the previous four games, George had more than 11 shot attempts in each of them, yet in two of those games, he failed to score in double figures. It's hard to avoid the impression that George, with his $200 million contract, is just coasting along without real impact on the court.

Earlier, CB, a U.S. media outlet, reported that since joining the 76ers, George has updated his podcast 228 times but only scored 197 field goals during live play. This seems to paint a clear picture of a player who is collecting a paycheck without truly putting in the work.

Philadelphia reporter Guru expressed, “I’ll put it this way: Kuzma is stronger than Paul George.\"

76ers’ beat writer Aidan LaPorta called George's signing a complete failure thus far.

The Washington Wizards' media remarked: “Don’t let the Super Bowl distract you, George’s performance is still catastrophic.\"

Philadelphia's press observed: Paul George secured the biggest contract of his life and achieved his greatest dream, only to settle into the role of an NBA role player.

Warriors reporter Bomta Hill reflected that, by passing on George last summer, Golden State dodged a massive bullet.
