Did not see anything about him being a Clippers fan growing up, but did find this:We do, but PG was never very adamant about it. He was also quoted as saying that he was a Clippers fan growing up and that he just wanted to be in LA.

Here's why there are so many Paul George to the Lakers rumors
While in OKC, George is still talking about L.A.
Hours ahead of OKC’s matchup against L.A., George doubled down on why playing back home was so important to him — citing friends and family — while reportedly heaping praise on Lonzo Ball. He also gave the Lakers the edge over playing for his hometown Clippers team, according to NBC Los Angeles’ Shahan Ahmad, because of their storied history.

Paul George made it clear playing back home means a bit more because of family & friends, offered HIGH praise for Lonzo Ball & said Lakers have history over Clippers, so it's not the same thing.
"Lakers have the history...that's who we grew up watching
Pretty candid stuff from Paul George about L.A. with Lakers and Clippers coming up. Says he has no regrets about Lakers popping up as trade destination when he was with Pacers: IN THAT LINK there is a clip that says this exact thing coming DIRECTLY from Paul George's lips.
