George, who broke his leg eight months ago, was quite impressive, with 13 points (three 3-pointers), two rebounds, two assists and two steals, in just 15 minutes during a 112-89 win over the Miami Heat on Sunday.

Pacers fans filled Bankers Life Fieldhouse to see George's return and he was even presented honorary dog tags from a four-star general beforehand.
We at MaxPreps were happy to see his return because of his genuinely nice and colorful personality he displayed during interview in the summer of 2013 at the Gatorade Athlete of the Year Award's ceremony in Hollywood. Not only was George extremely engaging — he gave advice to then-high school senior Andrew Wiggins and all prep players — but his leather outfit featuring pink shoes were also memorable.
The league could use more like Paul George, who also shared experiences with us about his prep days at Knight (Palmdale, Calif.). We're happy to see him back.
The following summer, host Chris Stonebraker also interviewed Paul during team USA camp. Once again, Paul was extremely approachable and engaging.
