What can’t Paul George do? We’re learning that list is short the more we see him in the public eye.
We already know George is a great basketball player. And he’s really good at podcasting too. As it turns out, he can also do impressions well — or at least he has a Charles Barkley impression down to a tee.
On a recent episode of Podcast P with Paul George, a mailbag writer asked which impression was George’s best. Co-hosts Jackie Long and Dallas Rutherford suggested the character Franklin Saint from the hit FX show Snowfall.
George wasn’t ready to pull out Saint on the spot, so he did Barkley instead, and man, it was spot on.

Barkley’s distinct voice makes him an easy target for impersonators, with the most popular probably being comedian and co-host of the Grant & Danny show Danny Rouhier. His impression earned him an invite on to TNT’s Inside the NBA to interview Barkley as Barkley, and a spot in a FanDuel commercial alongside Barkley.
With PG, we now have another voice out there to do Barkley.
