According to a SB Nation article, in three-pointers made per game, George ranks second averaging 3.4 and he is on the third spot for the most number of threes made, connecting with 64. Golden States Warriors' Stephen Curry's marks sitting at 5.3 and 116, respectively. Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors is second in total threes made with 68.

During the 2014 NBA offseason, George was named to the training camp roster for Team USA that would represent the country at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain. With 9:33 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, George landed awkwardly at the base of a basket stanchion after chasing down James Harden in transition and suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula.

In spite of the horrific injury, George was confident that he can still make a comeback and that hard work would make him an even better player.

"I worked hard going into the injury," he said. "Then coming out of the injury I worked even harder. It's really been two years of training that I've put in. I knew once the injury was over, rehab was over and got back on the court, I would be much improved."
