Recently, Clippers player Paul George talked about the tenth anniversary of the Birdman in the podcast "Podcast P with Paul George".
On May 25, 2013, the Pacers played the Heat on the road. At the end of the third quarter, George singled out with the ball in the away team's offensive round, first breaking through James' defense, then quickly hitting the basket and facing Chris Anderson to complete the dunk! A domineering dunk.
George said: "After 10 years, it makes me feel like an old ghost, and the birdman will probably not remember this round. It's like the Lillard lore we talked about before, and when you're on the defensive side, the result is uncomfortable.
"What can I do to make a difference? I should have fouled him. ”
In Game 5 of the first round of the 2019 playoffs, Lillard cut 50 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the Blazers to defeat the Thunder and advance 4-1. In the final moments of the game, Lillard faced George's defense with a long-range three-point whistle.
