The older sister of the future Olympic champion played basketball for the Pepperdine University team, and the middle team had high hopes for the San Bernardino Coyotes volleyball team.

George joined the organized team during his years at Knight High School. In the 2nd year Paul made his debut in the university league, being the youngest player on the court, and since 2007, a talented teenager, competing in amateur tournaments AAU, began to be interested in recruiters of the leading clubs of the athletic union.

In the middle of the season the coach felt the potential of the young player and gave him the role of the main striker. Thanks to this decision, the school won the Golden League Championship, and Paul was recognized as the most valuable member of the youth basketball team.

At the end of the year, George was ranked 20th in the California Ranking of Promising Athletes and signed an oral contract with Santa Clara agents. However, later on the coach's recommendation, the young man refused the agreement and chose to play in the Western Conference for UCLA.

In the first games, the young winger showed outstanding ability and helped the Bulldogs reach the quarterfinals of the 2009 WAC tournament.

In 2014, during a game break, George was included in the U.S. national team at the World Basketball Championship in Spain. During the preparatory stage, the athlete awkwardly landed on his right leg and suffered a complex fracture of 2 bones of the base. After the surgery, analysts assumed that Paul would miss the season, but the desire to play helped to recover faster, and on April 5, 2015, the basketball player returned to the field and played the last 6 games for Indiana.

The following season, the athlete started with a fine of $10,000. for criticizing the referees who refereed the Pacers' game against the Toronto Raptors. However, this did not prevent the basketball player to lead the ranking of players of the Eastern Conference and distinguish himself in the NBA All-Star Game.

He then spent his final season with the Indiana Pacers and in July 2017 was a successful acquisition for the Northwest Division club Oklahoma City Thunder.
