Los Angeles Clippers superstar Paul George is arguably one of the best defenders in the league right now. The 31-year-old has been tasked to guard the opposing team's best scorer down the stretch and is the type of person that you'd want in your team with the game on the line. That being said, George has his fair share of being at the wrong end of game-winning posters. Yes, there are quite a few.

If you've followed PG's career, you know that the four-time All-NBA Defensive Team member has been quite unlucky when it comes to these last-second plays. Though he's been an incredible lockdown defender throughout his career, different superstars have still managed to one-up the swingman and knock down a clutch game-winner in his face.

Let's go back in time and go through three of the best game-winners over Paul George.

3. Devin Booker coming up clutch in the NBA Bubble

Devin Booker and the 2019-2020 Phoenix Suns were nothing short of incredible in the NBA Bubble. The Suns had an immaculate 8-0 record and just missed the play-in tournament. As part of that unforgettable run in the Disney Campus in Orlando, the 24-year-old punched in one of the biggest shots in his young NBA career.

It was a wire-to-wire game with Phoenix battling one of the West's top contenders. George was tasked to man Booker with the game tied and the Suns having the ball with 31 seconds left. PG clamped down on Booker and forced the Suns star to give the ball up initially which ultimately resulted in a missed shot from Ricky Rubio. The Clippers ended up with possession but an errant pass from Ivica Zubvac gave the Suns back possession with just 10 seconds left.

This time, Booker wasn't going to be stopped. Booker got the ball with eight seconds left near the logo and PG came running. After saying no to a screen for a possible switch, Booker drove left and met Kawhi Leonard's big hands near the free-throw line. This forced Booker to spin away from the double-team and put up one of the craziest fall-away jumpers you'll ever see. George's outstretched arms didn't bother Booker one bit as his last-second shot hit the bottom of the net as the buzzer sounded.

This was definitely one of the most iconic shots in the NBA Bubble.

2. LeBron James with a heartbreaking go-ahead bucket in the 2013 ECF

In the 2013 NBA playoffs, Paul George and his Indiana Pacers were looking to avenge their 4-2 defeat against LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the previous season's second-round playoff match-up. George and the Pacers climbed their way up to an Eastern Conference Finals berth for the first time in almost a decade but the hungry defending champions were waiting in the wings.

George led the way for the Pacers and already had 27 under his name. He was clutch the entire game knocking down a huge three at the end of regulation to tie the game at 92-92 and made three huge free throws to put them up by a single point with just two seconds left. Unfortunately, the reigning four-time MVP needed just two seconds to break the hearts of the entire city of Indiana as James laid in a rather easy bucket as time expired.

As usual, it was George who was tasked to try and put the clamps on James in that final possession. Head coach Erik Spoelstra drew a perfect play that had Shane Battier bringing the ball in and Ray Allen and Chris Bosh running to their spots. This opened up the floor for James who, with the help of a friendly nudge on George, got the ball near the three-point line and had ample time and space to make a play. George couldn't catch up and James had an open lane to convert one of the easiest game-winners of his career.

1. Damian Lillard's bad shot

You all knew this was coming, right?

On April 23, 2019, Damian Lillard singlehandedly broke up the Oklahoma City Thunder roster with one of the most unbelievably clutch game-winners in NBA history. It was the first round of the 2019 NBA playoffs and the Blazers were already up 3-1 against Paul George, Russell Westbrook, and the rest of the Thunder. The game was tied at 115-115 and Lillard had the ball with George again manning him up. This set the table for an epic game-winner that haunts George to this day.

Lillard was dribbling the time away from about 40-feet away from the bucket with George watching and guarding him from a distance. Who in their right mind would think of closing down one of the most lethal shooters in the league from that far, right? Wrong.

Everyone in the entire building knew that it was ‘Dame Time‘. Well, maybe not PG. With just two seconds left in the game, Dame called game with a crazy side-step three from about 37-feet. George had no choice but to contest Lillard's shot but was inches short of actually affecting Lillard's sniping.

George even went as far as calling Dame's long triple a ‘bad shot‘ after the game with the Thunder bowing out of the series and George eventually packing his bag to leave OKC for the Los Angeles Clippers.
