Charlotte Hornets wing Brandon Miller was thrilled to exchange jerseys with his favorite player from his childhood, Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George, following their game on Sunday, March 31, at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.
The two players paid their respects to each other after the contest, which ended with the Clippers claiming a comfortable 130-118 win.
The 23-year-old mentioned in the post-game presser that having his favorite player's jersey hanging up in his house is a great accomplishment, and he is looking forward to working out with him in the summer.
The second overall pick of the most recent draft has declared George the greatest player of all time, in his opinion, several times since rising to prominence.
"Paul George is the best player in my eyes. I don't really watch anybody else as far as trying to get their moves down. Paul George is my GOAT," the Alabama product told ESPN earlier this month.

On the other hand, George, who had a game-high 41 points on an efficient 14-of-21 shooting from the field and 8-of-12 from three, expressed his admiration for Miller.
"It was fun. He's got a ton of game. He's gonna be really good. I'm in his corner. Can't wait to see him fully blossom and be one of those guys that carry the league for a long time," the nine-time NBA All-Star said.
The 33-year-old added seven rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 40 minutes of action for the evening.
