Did Paul George Miss That Top NBA Players Call To Take Thirst Trap Pics Of His Instagram Model Girlfriend Daniela Rajic?

Yahoo Sports – Some of the NBA’s biggest superstars formed a united front to resume the 2019-20 season during a private conference call Monday, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Chris Paul, the president of the players association, arranged the call that included LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard and Russell Westbrook, sources said.

This is Side Action, a safe space for rumors and innuendo compared to our usual data driven approach at Awesemo.com. And after seeing yesterday’s report about top NBA players who jumped on a call to present a unified front, I found it curious about the players not involved. No Kyrie Irving? Makes sense given his world views and general mercurial nature. No James Harden? Probably too busy making it rain at some sort of underground speakeasy strip club.

But Paul George, a guy who’s previously been friends with Russell Westbrook, courted by LeBron and on the same Clippers team as Kawhi Leonard? A guy who seems to have the respect of his peers and usually seems to have a seat at the table for these kinds of debates? Seems a bit suspicious, especially since a similar team in the Lakers had two representatives with LeBron and Anthony Davis.

And while I won’t go full reporter mode and head out to Calabasas to figure out why PG-13 was excluded from the call, my nose for a scoop leads me to this theory: Look at this post from Paul George girlfriend Daniela Rajic.

Intriguing content for sure. But it gets more intriguing. If you view it on the desktop version of Instagram, you can note the time that it was posted:

2:11 Pacific time. Now note the time on this Chris Haynes tweet, author of the initial Yahoo report, also captured from my Twitter account to reflect Pacific time:

2:07 p.m., presumably shortly after the call broke and someone leaked it to Haynes. 2:07 p.m. … 2:11 p.m. …

Now maybe Daniela Rajic held her post to reach peak engagement times on Instagram, I don’t know. But a world where Paul George spent an hour in full Boyfriends of Instagram mode to get the light just right for a quarantine photoshoot to promote his girl’s bikini lines at the same time as his peers planned their unified efforts to restart the league seems about right to me.

All I’m saying is that if Paul George was one of the guys to vote “no” in response to the season restarting in the NBPA group texts, it wouldn’t shock me. Hell, he might have just replied to the group text with more pics of Daniela Rajic like these:

I may not agree with Paul George’s completely hypothetical resistance to restart the NBA season. I want the league, and our NBA DFS lives, back as soon as possible. But after taking this deep dive into Daniela Rajic’s Instagram wormhole, I’d say it’s like the classic Chris Rock standup bit:
