The NBA has officially announced the contestants for the 2015 Sprite Slam Dunk contest. Although many are please with the return of the old judging format, the lack of superstar names should be nothing new...right?
by +Rodney FisherNBA Playoffs: Paul George Superstar?
by Rodney Fisher
As the old saying goes, "the playoffs are were stars are born", Paul George of the Indiana Pacers may be this year's breakout NBA star.
George was selected 10th overall in the 2010 NBA draft from Fresno State. That year the draft was saturated with small forwards causing Paul to be selected after Wesley Johnson, Al-Farouq Aminu, and Gordon Hayward. The Indiana Pacers did there homework before drafting him. In his freshman year he was named one of the top 15 freshman scorers in the NCAA. His sophomore season, he became Fresno State's second most effiecent free throw shooter in history, but it was Paul's defense that caught the attention of the organization.
