Paul George’s current season with the Philadelphia 76ers is nowhere near his superstar stature. He had a really struggling time dealing with extensor tendon injury in his left pinky finger, and his performance has only declined.
After missing five games because of this injury, George returned to the court hoping to reclaim his former performance level. However, his scoring average has sharply gone downwards. Over the last few games, he has struggled to find consistency, including a particularly disappointing outing against the Brooklyn Nets. He managed to score only two points in 37 minutes of play, which is far below the expectations set for a nine-time NBA All-Star.
However, despite all the misery, it did not seem to take any toll on the Sixers star. George recently posted a vacation photo with his wife, Daniela Rajic. In the image shared on his Instagram story, George is seen striking a playful pose, while Rajic dons a striking red swimsuit.
Since the posting, NBA fans went after him and blasted him on social media for being in vacation mode despite his lackluster performance. The social media was flooded with comments from fans, many of whom questioned his commitment, given his history of injuries and the ongoing demands of the NBA season.
NBA Fans Blast Paul George For Vacation Post After Embarrassing 2-Points Game
While he makes the most of his holiday with his wife, his way back home will be less welcoming. Despite being cleared to play, George’s performance has not mirrored the impact he once had on the court. His offensive struggles have been evident in his only 10.2 points and 2.8 assists per game since returning from injury. And the internet is buzzing on his vacation snaps.
“LMAO name a bigger bum……I’ll wait,” a fan commented.
“When people talk about who ruined the NBA make sure you mention Paul George in that conversation,” another fan commented.
“Clearly he isn’t focused. I understand it, but still we’re paying him $50 mil, he needs to do better,” wrote another one.
“NBA players really won. They found a way to get paid and legit stop playing or trying in a professional league and somehow the league keeps allowing it,” wrote a fan.
“I hope his girl cheats on him with Maxey,” a user blasted.
However, coach Nick Nurse has already expressed concern over George’s offensive contributions. George himself acknowledged his ongoing struggles, noting how the injury affected his ability to play freely. But all of this sounds injustice to the loyal fans who are blasting him on the internet.
