The new NBA season is rapidly approaching which means Philadelphia 76ers fans only have a few more weeks to wait before they get to see Paul George in action.
As a way to get everyone hyped up, the Sixers released a video on X that featured George on a practice court, playing with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and other Philadelphia players.
With each passing second, the expectations for this team grow – but are they getting too high?

George’s move from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Sixers was probably the biggest change of this year’s offseason.
Right away, analysts said George was the missing puzzle piece the team always needed.
People immediately envisioned the 76ers finally reaching the Finals in the season ahead.
George can undoubtedly bring a lot to the 76ers but his addition doesn’t guarantee great success for Philadelphia.
First of all, George doesn’t solve the injury problems that have plagued the team recently.
In fact, he adds to them because he has his own track record of getting hurt often.
If George and Embiid go down for a considerable amount of time in the new season, all of Philadelphia’s plans will be in jeopardy.
Still, fans are trying to focus on the positive and the trio of George, Embiid, and Maxey feels almost too good to be true.
They could definitely become a true force in the East and all other teams should be on notice.
This video gives people their first taste of George playing with the rest of the team.
What can they create in 2024-25 and will they live up to the sky-high expectations?
