Paul George returned to action in the Philadelphia 76ers in a wire-to-wire victory over the Detroit Pistons. He shot the ball poorly but passed it very well.

Paul George is one of the best forwards in the NBA today. But while his skills on the court made him one of the top free agents this year, George is also one of the polarizing figures in the NBA.

The 76ers star […]
