I really think LeBron and PG could have been a great partnership and multiple championships. He would have been LeBron's Pippen. The perfect complement.

[@harlan5339]

Pippen so underrated

[@victoralexander3767]

I totally agree. I think he would’ve been Bron’s best fit

[@harlan5339]

People dont see how pippen really was getting tough buckets and still getting 20 a game and was like the defensive stronghold. But i digress. I like mike alot its just scottie was a dawg 24/7. He made jordan game so much easier and smoother.

Even bron and pg now would be crazy their games fit so well would’ve had multiple chips with bron no way he would’ve been looked at as one of the greatest ever at sf and would’ve definitely won a mvp with bron bro that was a legacy defining choice pg made by not really pushing for that with bron

He knew that the Bron haters would have created a new narrative to hate on Bron with.

[@BigtunaG]

It would never have worked without Kyrie. They would have lacked ability to get big buckets vs KD. Also they basically admitting Cavs were trading Kyrie for PG before Kyrie's trade request.

Heartbreak for me as a PG and Bron lover 😅 bro cmon that was such a great duo

[@xxr3ddevilxx]

The biggest mistake PG made was not teaming up with Bron. After the Cavs didn't pull off the trade and he went to OKC he should not have stayed, should have gone to the Lakers in 2018 as a UFA. Lakers kept their core and eventually trade for AD. Unstoppable.

[@Savsgge]

Should’ve went to the Lakers you’d have 2 rings already

[@MrClebophd]

I remember the Heat and the Pacers go at it in the playoffs. One game both PG and LeBron went off in the first half scoring a bunch. Then, at half-time, one of my favorite NBA moments happened. LeBron and PG looked at each other with the uttermost respect, and gave each other a low five or fist bump. That was amazing to see.

[@MrClebophd]

My bad, it was the third quarter. Memory failure from ten years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2TammeEo9GdeLM.

[@greg2797]

Damnnn I wish this would've happened. What a perfect matchup for those finals. Even if Ky left I feel like PG would've been great replacement because not only can he go get a bucket himself, he is great off the ball, spot up shooter, shooting off of pin downs and he is a great wing defender with length on top of his personality meshing with Bron's. Mann.. what could've been.

[@officialtyler8117]

Especially in 2018 because the way Lebron was playing that series I think just another top 10 player on the cavs would’ve help him win the chip that year

[@Young-ep8ik]

Thing is PG could have signed with LA. He willingly chose not to play with Bron despite what he said in this clip.

[@JVlano]

Y’all gotta ask him post retirement. Y’all gotta realize PG being a current player still can’t let everything out in the light and be laid back with answering stuff like this.

[@Wake_Up_Brain_Up]

Indy also doesn't want to trade pg to a team that's the same division.

[@gotworc]

It was mainly because Indiana was in the same division.

[@willholt9461]

indy ended up losin they gm before the trade happened to it fell apart then kyrie left so it was all the way out the window

[@CedAdj]

I bet this is the reason why Kyrie ended up in Boston. He must have heard of this and requested a trade.

[@Wisestomatoe]

Listen dude the kyrie situation was already happening

[@IceDizzy]

@@Wisestomatoehe’s capping. That’s exactly why Kyrie wanted out. That trade failed because the Pacers parted ways with their GM before the deal was finished and Kyrie did find out and felt like Lebron had something to do with it.

[@Wisestomatoe]

@@IceDizzy you’re capping I think jones was actually in the locker room you weren’t buddy

[@IceDizzy]

@@Wisestomatoe this story came out on Bleacher Report when it was actually happening saying exactly what I’m saying. The trade fell apart first and then Kyrie wanted out. Why would Kyrie want to leave if they were going to get PG? That doesn’t even make sense. 😂😂😂 He wanted to leave because he was a major part of their championship and after losing to the KD version of the Warriors, they were going to trade him to a rebuilding team. The details of the proposed trade is even out there.

[@joehands4763]

PG and LeBron would've been crazy straight highlight reel

[@IceDizzy]

Kyrie actually wanted out because this trade that would’ve sent him to Phoenix when they were still trash and PG ending up in Cleveland made him mad. He didn’t want out until after this trade failed because the Pacers either fired their GM or he quit before the deal was finalized.

[@DreChampProductions]

Exactly, Ky literally talked about this

[@IceDizzy]

@@DreChampProductions facts

[@NickMintz]

Who were they trading him to Phoenix for? And was it that they didn't want to pay him? And all that stuff about wanting his own team and getting from under Lebron's shadow was a lie?

[@IceDizzy]

@@NickMintz they were trading him and Channing Frye to Phoenix and they would’ve gotten back Paul George and Eric Bledsoe. I can’t really remember who Indiana were getting in return. They were doing it to try and getting a bigger superstar to matchup better against the KD Warriors. The only reason it didn’t get finalized was because Larry Bird stepped down as GM before the deal was finished. And no to that last question. Kyrie meant that, but it he was on that type of time because he found out about this trade

[@jayvontayswing57]

Keep it 💯 PG13. You never wanted to play with LBJ anyway, otherwise you’ll be a Laker right now. You can’t convince me that you chose to resign with OKC during ‘2018’ due to Lakers Front Office not trading for you the previous season OVER The opportunity to play with LBJ. Win, lose or draw ??… you were wise enough to know better to allow yourself to be the scapegoat.

[@nate8604]

Bron and PG would have been dope together. Hell, Paul had the chance to go to the Lakers in free agency around 2018, but he re-signed in OKC to spite the Lakers for not trading for him.

[@snapmike5156]

Why did PG not make that leap? Crazy.

[@Pacers31Colts18]

As a Pacers fan, thank God that didn't happen. Feel like we definitely got a good deal, even though it sucked that he left. What really sucked was all this going down before saying at a cancer softball event that the Pacers were his team.

I believe at this time Paul George still had too much ambition to be Batman ; I remember him talking about it wasn’t really til he got with Kawhi he realized his best chance to win was to be a Robin & how everyone wasn’t meant to be Batman etc ; I get that vibe that at that moment he still wanted to go at bron not team up

[@Selfpaideatz]

They never said why it didn’t work? Why ?

[@jasonbecke]

I wish PG would one day say why when he was free agent he didn’t go to the Lakers to team up with LeBron. Doesn’t make sense because a signed a 5 year extension with OKC then a year later demands a trade to the other LA team. Like wtf idk why he won’t come ever out and say why did he demand a trade after one year signing a huge extension that never happens. Either you didn’t wanna play with LeBron or you were scared to play with him
