Paul George Seemingly Takes Jab at Devin Booker

Earlier this offseason, Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker called out Paul George for a question he asked Klay Thompson during an episode of Podcast P. Asking the Golden State Warriors star about his "four rings" taunt directed at Booker, George got a great response from Thompson about the level of appreciation and respect he has for Booker. Assuming this isn't the answer George wanted to hear, Booker made that known in an Instagram comment.

George responded to Booker's comment during a livestream, calling it a "sorry ass response" from the Suns guard. During this same livestream, George said he's back on his "bully sh-t" this season, which now seems to have been partially motivated by Booker calling him out.

During George's recent interview with SLAM for his feature on their latest cover, the LA Clippers star was asked about what provoked his "bully sh-t" declaration on that live stream.

"Yeah, I mean, it was just a lot of unnecessary talk going around the League of, you know, guys feeling themselves and directing comments toward me that haven’t done anything as well," George told SLAM. "You know, this is the last couple years of my career, so it’s all about legacy for me as well. And that’s just my approach—I got to finish strong and go back to loving the game and loving to dominate. And again, that’s just how I got to approach it. [If] I come up short, that’s on me. But that’s how I gotta approach it."

While George of course did not mention Booker by name, it's almost certain he was referring to the Suns star when referencing guys who "haven't done anything as well."
