When asked about the chants afterwards, George said that he loved them and intentionally tried to get to the line to hear them, per ESPN’s Royce Young.

The five-time All-Star George, who is averaging 22.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists a game this year, will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. He hails from the Los Angeles area, and the Lakers have long been seen as a candidate to sign him. But Thunder fans can chant with confidence, as PG-13’s own comments indicate that OKC may have the advantage in re-signing him.
