George Sr. recalled the minutes before his son was taken into the hospital surgery room by wheelchair. Aaron Mintz, Paul George’s longtime agent, arrived with a phone and a certain Lakers star waiting to speak with him on the other line. “His agent, Aaron, for some reason, he got Mr. Bryant on the phone,” George Sr. recalled. “Kobe. So he gives the phone to Paul and so him and Paul are talking. When he gets done, he said, ‘Guess who I was talking,’ and he’s laying there, he’s smiling now. He said, ‘I just got through talking to Kobe Bryant.’ And then after that they wheeled him in.”
