Throughout a tough 2024-2025 campaign, Philadelphia 76ers star forward Paul George caught criticism for his performance. Being that it was year one of his newly-inked max contract, George’s struggles to live up to the numbers caused many to call out his decision to keep the ‘Podcast P’ show rolling.

In the end, Jalen Brunson sealed the deal by scoring 14 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter. The first go-around for the newly podcast-less Paul George was promising but nonetheless ended in a loss. Putting aside his show was an effort to make the most of his first season with the 76ers, of which there is still a month and change left.
