Hoopsfix 1 on 1: Paul George

By Bradley Gains on January 11, 2017

The Indiana Pacers’ Paul George was down at the Foot Locker House of Hoops store in Brixton on Monday to showcase his first signature sneaker, The Nike PG 1 and gave Hoopsfix an exclusive interview.

George and the Pacers take on Denver Nuggets at The O2 Arena this week for the annual NBA Global Games regular-season in London.

The 3-time All-Star and Rio Olympics gold medalist discusses his early memories, the feeling of having his first signature shoe, his Mount Rushmore, future goals and more!

You can watch PG in action live on Facebook or on Freeview channel, BT Sport Showcase on Thursday evening.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
