Paul George’s disappointing performance against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night has been called one of the worst of his career. Fans and analysts online are all talking about it, and no one is holding back.
The first person to react was the outspoken Kendrick Perkins, who took his aim at the worst level in criticizing Paul George for his bad two-point performance in the 76ers’ 100-96 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, even questioning PG’s basketball playing ability.
He questioned on Twitter, “Do PG even wants to play basketball?! I would think that with no Joel Embiid or Maxey, he would give the 76ers more than Perk’s stat line.”

George finished the game with just 2 points on 1-for-7 shooting. Fans and analysts were also upset, especially because George has a huge $200 million contract with the 76ers. Even fans joined in on the criticism for his poor performance.
Fans tear into Paul George’s poor play on social media
The 76ers had some small problems every game that cost them the win. In their last game against the Raptors, Joel Embiid made a mistake at the end that lost them the match.
Tonight, it was PG, the team’s highest-paid player, who didn’t score minimum points to secure a close win. This loss was their fifth in a row, and fans on social media are not praising PG at all.

@carringtoney added, “Paul George is playing awful man. Can’t defend this type of play anymore. Hate to say it but he for sure didn’t deserve a max contract.”
