Paul George has looked like a man on a mission, for the most part, this season as the forward is averaging career-high numbers in five statistical categories. George, who is playing the best basketball of his career, is the main reason why the Thunder find themselves at the third spot in the Western Conference standings.

Last year, George was snubbed and not named an All-Star. However, an injury to DeMarcus Cousins helped him get into the All-Star Game as Cousins' replacement.

The 29-year-old signed a four-year, $137 million contract extension with the Thunder in the 2018 offseason which led to the formation of the Big 3 in Oklahoma City that includes him, Russell Westbrook and Steven Adams.

The Fresno State product is known as one of the best two-way players in the league and is a realistic threat on both ends of the floor.
