While the NBA has a number of player feuds, a new one between Suns guard Devin Booker and Clippers forward Paul George seems to be emerging. After things got a bit tense between the two this offseason, George discussed the topic with Taylor Rooks of Turner Sports. Ultimately, George told Rooks that a “line was passed” in his relationship with the Phoenix star.
The friction began earlier this offseason when George spoke with the Warriors’ Klay Thompson on Podcast P with Paul George, asking Thompson about his best moment of trash talk and referencing the famous “four rings” gesture he made toward Booker on Oct. 25, 2022. Although Thompson has said he regrets the move and admits Booker was “busting my ass” that game, it appears Booker didn’t appreciate George posing the question.
The two had some exchanges through the offseason, with Booker asking George on Instagram if Thompson gave him the answer he “was looking for.” But George’s comments to Rooks stood out after he says a “line was passed.”
