During the latest episode of Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson joined the show to discuss several different topics. When the topic of trash talk came up, LA Clippers star Paul George asked Thompson about the "four rings" taunt he used on Devin Booker.

"I was in my feelings, and [Booker] was busting my ass that day," Thompson said. "I was not where I needed to be. Stuff doesn't age well, and that didn't age well for me. I don't need to be flexing four rings, bro. Everybody knows that, that's on Wikipedia. My game wasn't where it was at, and we all get insecure at times. I'm man enough to admit we all have our moments of weakness. I'm not really proud of that one."

Booker saw this response from Thompson, and the Phoenix Suns star seemingly called out Paul George on Instagram for asking that question:

George and Booker have an on-court beef that goes back to the 2021 regular season when Booker called George "soft" during a scuffle. While there have not been many fireworks between the two players since then, it seems Booker still feels a certain type of way about George.

During a stream this afternoon, George addressed Booker's Instagram comment, calling it a "sorry ass response" to the exchange between he and Thompson:

It will be interesting to see if Booker says anything back to George or leaves it right here.
