Here’s George in a gym with the younger version of himself.
Need more evidence that Paul George is seemingly all-in on playing in the upcoming Olympics?
George’s label shows him in a Team USA uniform.
The Pacers’ star appears in Gatorade’s new ad campaign featuring athletes who are all expected to compete in the Olympics coming up in August down in Rio de Janeiro.
The 26-year-old joins Usain Bolt, Serena Williams, and April Ross in a new commercial titled, “Never Lose the Love” where these professional athletes show how they are “fueled by that moment where they first fell in love” with their sport.
In the spot, both the 30- and 60-second versions, the athletes work out with a younger version of themselves alongside to keep pushing them to get better. And it is done to the tune of Jimmy Durante’s “Young At Heart.”

George already was chosen by Jeep to be their ambassador through the summer and they plan to use him in Jeep Experiences scheduled for select cities where USA Basketball is training and holding an exhibition game, including Chicago July 27-29.
George appears on the “Frost” version in this image.
In addition to the ad, Gatorade is running a national campaign that includes five special-edition bottles.
As you can see, George is wearing his USA Basketball uniform in the photo that will appear on millions of Gatorade bottles.
Also featured on the limited-time-only bottles: Lionel Messi, April Ross, Usain Bolt, and Serena Williams.
Gatorade is also encouraging consumers to vote online, choosing between 19 select sports-focused organizations. Those groups will then receive donations to help young athletes continue to pursue the sport that they love.
