In August, an online feud erupted between LA Clippers’ Paul George and Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker. The dispute began when George seemingly attempted to bait Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson into taking a shot at Booker on his podcast. Booker did not take the situation lightly and called out George on social media, leading to a response from George on a Twitch stream, where he criticized Booker’s “Sorry-a** response.” A few months have passed, but it appears that the two NBA stars may still be holding grudges against one another.
During a recent interview with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks, George discussed his ongoing feud with Booker. When asked if he would be interested in settling the dispute with Booker via an NBA 2K matchup, George suggested they need to settle things on the court instead:
“Nah, we gotta check rock differently”, George said.
The statement implies that George would prefer facing Booker on the basketball court in order to settle any differences between them. It is not unusual for athletes to let their performance on the field, or in this case the court, speak for itself when it comes to resolving conflicts. Although the tension between the two players has not entirely disappeared, it is possible that if they face each other in a competitive setting, they may be able to put their differences aside and focus on the game.
As of now, it remains unclear if and when George and Booker will face off on the court. However, as the NBA season progresses, fans can look forward to any matchups between these two star players and hope that their intense rivalry ultimately leads to an exciting and competitive game. The ongoing feud between George and Booker adds an interesting layer of drama to the already intense world of competitive sports.
