Since the start of the summer, we have witnessed the birth of a fairly heated conflict between Devin Booker and Paul George. The Suns guard had seriously annoyed his Clippers counterpart with his comments and not everyone liked it, with a journalist taking it upon himself to put the scorer in his place.
From a purely sporting point of view, it’s difficult to blame Devin Booker for anything. Originally a one-dimensional scorer, the guard has evolved into an ultra-versatile player on offense over the years. On paper, he’s even one of the best players in the league… but from a behavioral point of view, it’s a little more complicated than that. His provocations towards Luka Doncic during the 2022 playoffs had annoyed, for example.
However, the superstar decided to attack another of his peers this summer in the person of Paul George, with which he raged on social networks. The Clippers winger clearly no longer has it in his heart and has probably already circled the date of their next clash on their calendar. A rather remarkable attitude for him according to Fabod Esnaashari, insider of the Californian franchise:
Devin Booker and the Suns superteam hated by the league?
Paul George is a VERY chill guy and for him to dislike Devin Booker that much says something about how everyone in the league has felt about the Suns

Paul George is a VERY relaxed guy and the fact that he doesn’t like Devin Booker says a lot about how everyone in the league feels about the Suns.
Since his arrival in the league, it is true that PG13 has rarely been the type to seek trouble with another player, except Damian Lillard after his game-winner during the 2018 playoffs.
On the other hand, it is no coincidence that the accused player is a member of a superteam like Phoenix. While Arizona players are among the title favorites after the acquisition of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, anything goes according to some in order to display them. That being said, it should be noted that these big names were keen to play with D-Book… and his fans did not fail to point that out.
What does stars like cp3, Durant, and Beal requesting trades to Phoenix say about Booker?

And that stars like CP3, Durant and Beal are asking for trades for Phoenix, what does that say about Booker?
It is rare that a superteam is unanimous and after the Lakers or the Nets, it is the Suns of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker who are not appreciated by everyone. Even more so if the Cactus start criticizing other players in the league like this… In any case, we can’t wait to attend their next match against the Clippers.
