Paul George and Olivia

NBA star Paul George‘s fractured leg was a blessing in disguise. His forced hiatus from the Indiana Pacers gave him more time to spend with his baby daughter, Olivia.

Olivia is the product of a one-night stand with former Miami stripper Daniela in Miami in June of 2013. Understandably, George’s paternal instincts didn’t kick in immediately upon learning Daniela accidentally got pregnant on purpose.

There was some resistance initially — especially when George was hit with child support papers. He made it clear he wanted nothing to do with the baby mama or her child. But babies have a way of melting even the coldest thug’s heart. Especially little girls.

George, 27, suffered a compound fracture of his leg in August during a preseason exhibition game. He’s expected to sit out the entire 2014-15 season.
