Paul George is undoubtedly one of the best players in today's NBA. His ability to score from anywhere on the court coupled with his prowess on the defensive end has made him one of the toughest players to go against since he entered the league. George is also slated to enter NBA free agency this summer, but he recently proved that he also has the skills to play another sport.
The Oklahoma City Thunder star forward was seen showing off his control of the soccer ball while playing with NBA legend Steve Nash. The former back-to-back MVP is known for also being a decent soccer player, and George wanted to show that he is also good with it, particularly in heading the ball.

The video goes to show how athletic George really is and also has the skills to control the ball while heading it to the direction he wants to. Despite his busy schedule during the All-Star Weekend, he still found time to spend a few minutes with Nash, and play the game he played a lot when he was growing up as a kid.
George participated in the 3-point Shooting Contest last Saturday, but did not win the event, bowing out in the first round. He was also part of Team LeBron, who won the All-Star Game the following day. He made up for his poor performance in the shootout and played well for the winning team in their come-from-behind victory, 148-145. He finished with 16 points, five rebound and four assists in the fifth time he’s played in the exhibition match.
