The Philadelphia 76ers have made headlines by securing Paul George with a staggering four-year, $212 million contract, forming a potent Big 3 alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
Brandon Jennings, a former NBA player, didn’t hold back his criticism of the Sixers’ decision, suggesting that such a hefty investment should yield immediate championship results.
In a candid moment on Gil’s Arena, Jennings questioned the rationale behind making George the third option on the team, emphasizing the pressure on Philadelphia to deliver a championship.
“Y’all gave him [$212M] to be the third option? Philly better win the championship this year. They better win the championship this year… I don’t wanna hear sh*t,” Jennings remarked.
George’s arrival significantly bolsters Philadelphia’s lineup, adding firepower and experience to complement Embiid and Maxey.
Jennings’ remarks highlight the high expectations facing Philadelphia this season, as they aim to capitalize on their star-studded roster.
With the NBA season approaching, all eyes will be on Philadelphia to see if their investment in George pays off with championship glory.
