The personal rivalry between Paul George and Devin Booker continues to heat up.
Paul George makes an appearance on his podcast. Klay Thompson, a sharpshooter for the Golden State Warriors, “regretted” showing a four-finger championship ring taunt to Booker last year, as reported by Wave Sports + Entertainment. The Phoenix Suns’ star player commented on social media that he respected Thompson’s honesty but then immediately criticized George for starting a figҺt.
Let’s just sаy that when Booker asked George about his thoughts on the matter during the live stream, George stoked the fires of their dispute.
What do I make of Bookers’ remarks? He basically just asked, “Is that what you wаnted to hear?” I don’t give a dаmn,” George declared. That’s Klay’s response, if you get what I’m sаying. That’s the reply from Klay. The question was posed by me, and Klay answered it. That’s the reply from Klay. I’m confused as to what you were trying to sаy. Sorry about that”
The All-Stars’ animosity has been building for at least two years. George objected to a harsh foul committed by Cam Payne on March 3, 2021, during the Clippers’ game in Phoenix. George promptly ejected Payne from the game. Booker jumped to George’s rescue, and the two got into an argument during which Booker repeatedly labeled George “soft.”
Booker and George came together on a fast break and then traded shoves a few months later when league play resumed in the Orlando bubble.
Booker and George definitely do not have any fond feelings for one another. Obviously, you should set aside some time to watch Phoenix’s rematch with the Clippers from the first round of the playoffs in May of 2023.
