Harrell stated that he and George do not see eye-to-eye and declined to comment further on him. The tension between them arose from an altercation during the playoffs where they argued over accountability for a turnover.

Story summary
Montrezl Harrell, former Los Angeles Clippers player and teammate of Paul George, recently criticized George in an interview with Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson, stating they don't see eye-to-eye and are not on good terms. The conflict stems from their heated exchange during the NBA bubble in 2020 when the team was facing the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs. Harrell believes his treatment by the team after this altercation contributed to him not being re-signed, with the tension peaking over a turnover that occurred in Game 2 of their series. During a timeout in Game 5, Harrell reportedly told George, "You’re always right. Nobody can tell you nothing," amidst an argument about taking responsibility for this turnover.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
