Montrezl Harrell admits he threatened Paul George during NBA Bubble
Montrezl Harrell: That’s why a lot of people, I think, don’t like me. At the end of the day, everybody’s out here in between these lines because we’re trying to, one, feed our family, but, two do some shit for the team, for the organization, for the city. Real talk. I came back to the Bubble for this, after having to bury my grandma in the ground, bro. The person who raised me, the reason I play this game. I was so fucked up mentally, more than I even knew. Alright, with that in mind…. I told P right then and there, in front of coaches and everybody, “I will knock you the fuck out, bro. You’re trippin’. You was wrong, bro. You’re WRONG.”

Wasn’t surprised Paul George said on his pod winning a title factored into Philly. Legacy was on his mind last Oct. when we left the arena together.
“It just comes down to, I haven’t won nothing, you know what I mean? And I’m not satisfied with that.”

More on this storyline
What I appreciated about Doc (Rivers) and Sam (Cassell) is that they were always able to see past all of that. They didn’t knock me for what happened in the Bubble. They didn’t knock me for my situation in Charlotte. While I was with Charlotte, in 2022, the police found weed in my car and gave me a citation. They were asking me all these questions about the league. Man, I told his ass Jokić was the hardest player to guard. I’m over there talking about basketball. -via The Players’ Tribune / July 10, 2024
The Clippers’ star processed George’s departure to the Philadelphia 76ers with the same stoic manner he usually operates in public. “We knew it was [possible] before the season. So we knew what it was going to come down to,” Leonard said. “So we talked the whole way through. So not surprised.” -via SportsKeeda / July 10, 2024
Justin Russo: Kawhi Leonard to @BA_Turner on how much will fall on him without Paul George being with the Clippers this season: “How much will be on me to lead the team? The same like it was last year. It don’t change.” -via x.com / July 10, 2024
Montrezl Harrell: When we get on the court, that’s a monster. I blank out. I’m in a different mode. That’s a person whose only focus is competing to win. But as far as who I am away from the game? I feel like nobody knows that side of me. -via The Players’ Tribune / July 10, 2024
Montrezl Harrell: One thing I had to accept, is how I do have baggage. And how regrets are a part of that. But so are all the lessons I’ve learned, you feel me? Lessons from the adversity I’ve faced. Yeah, I got some baggage from some wars on the court. I got baggage from my knee injury. I got baggage from how I acted at times, or who I been in certain moments. But without all of that, I wouldn’t have who I am now. I wouldn’t have the “baggage” of how I’ve rehabbed my ass off, and who I’ve rebuilt myself into. -via The Players’ Tribune / July 10, 2024
