Upon looking back, George found the situation quite amusing.

"It was just like a deer in the headlights. I don't know what to do right here," he shared the experience on a recent episode of Podcast P with Paul George. "Before I could think about the next thing to do, I was just stuck."

"When it happened, I thought it was crazy because everyone in the f***ing arena was standing," he added. "The gym was going crazy, so I thought it was worse than it was. When I saw it, I was [not that bad]. It was crazy that he banged that s**t. ... He had bad intentions. It was literally like a bull."

Despite George attempting to absorb the contact, he was called for a blocking foul.

"I asked Bron, 'Bro, did I foul you?' He was like, 'Not at all.' ... I needed some help at that moment," George said with a smile. "I was like, 'All right, cool.'"

In conclusion, George appreciated LeBron's ability to make such spectacular plays, especially considering he is nearing 40.

"For LeBron to still show that athleticism at 39 years old is crazy impressive," George praised the fellow superstar.
