Former Fresno State star Paul George helped Team USA secure a gold medal on Sunday in the men’s basketball Olympic final defeating Serbia 96-66. George averaged 11.3 points per game throughout the tournament and came off the bench to provide leadership for the second unit.
“We came and we did what we were supposed to do. We’re going home with this gold. This is what it’s for,“ George said in an interview following Sunday’s game. “This is what we made this commitment for…all to come together to do this thing. It’s amazing to go home with the best hardware you can get here.”
