NBA stars Paul George of the LA Clippers and Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns have had several confrontations, both on and off the court in recent seasons. The tension escalated during the offseason when Booker accused George of trying to provoke Klay Thompson into saying negative things about him during a podcast. Booker called out George on Instagram, prompting George to respond on a Twitch stream. In an interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, George discussed the situation, mentioning that the issue arose during games against Phoenix.
He emphasized that the incident stemmed from a misunderstanding and a lack of respect boundaries. George clarified that he was merely asking a question to Thompson without expecting any specific response, and Booker's reaction was unexpected but accepted.
