Despite their altercation, which led to the expulsion of Klay Thompson, his first in career, Devin Booker had been the first, in the seconds after the match, to calm the game and to recall his respect for the back of the Warriors.
“I love Klay Thompson and have since I started in the NBA. But that doesn’t stop us from being competitive when we face each other, and from throwing a few spades along the way. It was fun, I’m one of his big fans, I love his competitiveness. »
A few hours after this big match, the quadruple champion did the same, returning to this moment of tension.
“It’s funny because I love playing against Booker. I have a lot of respect for him.” pointed out the Golden State shooter for NBC Sports. “He was one of the first to write to me when I broke my Achilles tendon, telling me the battle wouldn’t be the same without me. It moved me. »
The back of Phoenix explained that his counterpart from Golden State had insisted on his record, his famous four championship rings, to chamber him. Does Thompson confirm this version?
” I am not sure. Seems like I was mostly recalling facts. But honestly, I don’t even remember. I have a black hole, I was very angry. Sometimes it feels good to let go of your frustration. It’s better than holding her back. »
