In a move that stunned many in the basketball world, Paul George elected to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder on a four year deal. It is a massive win for OKC, who is just two years removed from losing Kevin Durant to the Warriors. A big reason for the shock around the league is that Westbrook was able to play a big role in convincing George to stay as opposed to going to his hometown Los Angeles Lakers.

Jonas Knox breaks down the Paul George deal and tells why the friendship between George & Westbrook played a massive role in the recruitment process.
