Paul George recently made a significant move to the Philadelphia 76ers after a successful period with the Los Angeles Clippers. For George, the Clippers always felt like the city’s secondary team, which made his transition to the 76ers even more impactful.

However, everyone, including Chet Holmgren, wonders how George and Embiid will share the spotlight on the court. During an episode of his podcast, “Podcast P,” Holmgren delved into the potential dynamics between the two stars.

George’s response was diplomatic yet insightful. He stated that Coach Nick Nurse would decide who should take the final shot during the game.

That’s a Nick Nurse question. whoever Nick Nurse draws it up for, we’re gonna get the best shot. I’ve been on teams with other superstars; we live and die with whoever takes it,” George said.

And I think it was now at that point where people were jumping on the bandwagon. Like this team is for real now. They’re serious; they found their rhythm. And just that stretch, going on the floor with your brothers. Being out there with Russ, [Kawhi], James, Big Zu, the whole squad,” he added.

The former Clippers star ended his last season with them on a high note, though they fell short to win the NBA title. He averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists last season.
