Everything comes full circle, and with Indianapolis being the center of the basketball universe this weekend, a few moments like this one stand out.

Indiana Pacers star Paul George spoke to Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski prior to Sunday's game against the Miami Heat, his first game back this season after suffering a compound fracture in his right leg during a USA Basketball scrimmage last August.

Krzyzewski was the head coach of that squad that would go on to win gold at the FIBA World Cup in Spain, a tournament George was forced out of due to the severe injury.

George is hoping to give the Pacers enough of an edge to slip into the playoffs. Krzyzewski's Blue Devils go for their fifth national championship on Monday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.
