Paul George has opened up about his fallout with Chris Paul, admitting that his "feelings were hurt."
On a recent episode of The Pivot podcast, George began by speaking about his relationships with other players. "I just know that I’ve had friendships, personal relationships with guys,” he explained. "It’s one thing to build a relationship, then you get on the court and start saying wild shit. Like, damn, have you always felt this way?"
"My feelings were hurt with that, I thought we was tighter than that,” George continued. “And then we get between these lines and certain words were thrown out that I didn’t expect from you."
George then detailed his friendship with Chris Paul. “I was talking to CP. He was the reason I got Lasik. I would work out with CP in the summers. It was a brotherhood,” he said, before explaining why things soured between them. "We get into a series and words get thrown out there. Hold on what? Where did this come from?"
In a rather ominous tone, George suggested that their beef is far from over, adding: “It is what it is. It’s up whenever I see him."
Back in December, George first alerted the world to the fact that the two weren't seeing eye to eye when he got honest about his relationship with Chris Paul on his podcast. "I'm not the fondest of CP these days... Me and CP used to have a great relationship. He was the reason I got LASIK,” George said.
"Now, fast forward, I think it was a playoff matchup against Phoenix, or it was a regular season game. Can't remember which one it was, but we get into it," George recalled. "Words was thrown out there that shouldn't be thrown out there between two men. That kind of just drew the line for me."
