In addition to seeing his Lakers get destroyed, Anthony Davis must certainly regret his pre-game statement. This one did not escape Devin Booker… and the star of Phoenix answered him in a memorable way at a press conference.
The expression “a world separates them” took on its full meaning last night, during the face-to-face meeting between the Lakers and the Suns. The Pourpres et Ors had a very bad evening at the Footprint Center and ended with a very heavy defeat on the clock (140-111, summary here). With the best record in the league with 54 wins for 14 losses, the players of Arizona were simply too strong for their opponents (29-38, 9ᵉ in the West), after eliminating them in the first round last year. pass.
However, if there is a member of the Pourpres et Ors who would have done better to keep quiet, it is well Anthony Davis. The interior is close to a return to competition, after a knee injury which had ruled him out. present on site, however, he allowed himself a very controversial exit on the 2020-21 playoffs… Basically, the former Pelican believes that if he had been present and at 100%, Los Angeles would have been able to dispose of the future NBA finalist. Not sure that many people agree…
Devin Booker’s WTF metaphor after the Anthony Davis controversy
Suffice to say that after the thrashing that followed, The Brow must be biting their fingers to have been so vocal. Especially since the remark did not go unnoticed after Cactus and in particular Devin Booker… The rear, author of 30 points in the match, admitted at a press conference that he had heard what had been said AD, without however worrying about it. He took the opportunity to drop a metaphor as WTF as it is brilliant, in order to drive the point home:
Did Booker hear what AD had to say?
“Yeah.”
Did it inspire the Suns?

Yeah, we strained what he said, but we would have won no matter what. I just think it’s funny.
“If my auntie had something between her legs, she’d be my uncle. It’s a lot of ifs in this game. You look at history along the lines, there’s something that comes up for every team during every season. Instead of just taking the high road, you have to make a comment like that.” https://t.co/YHqUuh2QcJ

If my aunt had something between her legs, she would be my uncle. There are a lot of “what if?” in this sport. When you look at basketball history, there’s always something going on for every team every season. Instead of staying classy, he had to allow himself a comment like this.
Difficult to make more clear on the part of Devin Booker, who does not care at all what Anthony Davis may think. Given that he’s on the winning side, that’s hardly surprising…and The Brow can go get dressed after his words.
