Pacers' Paul George, George Hill to Appear in Episode of ABC's 'The Bachelor'

Paul George: three-time NBA All-Star, sensational small forward, electrifying in-game dunker and...wingman?

For one lucky guy, Ben Higgins (better known as this season's "The Bachelor" on ABC), PG13, teammate George Hill and Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel very well may be.

In an episode set to air on Monday, February 15, Higgins, a Warsaw, Indiana, native and Indiana University alumnus, along with his date Lauren B., will spend some time with members of his favorite squad—shooting hoops and getting great, autographed swag it would seem, according to the released photos.

But the connection to basketball goes well beyond simply being a fan. As well as being a high school player, Higgins befriended both Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller in his Hoosier days, according to the Indianapolis Star. 

High school basketball player or not, it will likely be tough going for Higgins to impress his date while shooting against some of the best. Still, it certainly beats mini golf!
