1. Luka Doncic vs Devin Booker:
“Don’t wait till there’s three seconds left to talk.” Somehow it seems the only time Luka Doncic gives us new quotes is when it comes to Devin Booker. It all started with Devin Booker trash talking the whole Dallas team during game 6 of the playoffs last year.
The Luka Special was definitely a devastating sight for the Phoenix Suns. Luka proved that we shouldn’t act tough when we are up. Ever since the playoffs we have seen a more timid Suns team. The Luka Special really destabilized the Suns entering into this season, especially Booker (Although since KD was traded to Phoenix. Devin Booker has got more balls and has regained his trash talking confidence).
In the last game against the Dallas Mavericks, Devin Booker once again had a little altercation with Luka. Luka was clearly frustrated after missing a buzzer winning layup and wanted to take it out on Booker. A playoff game between Luka and Booker this season will definitely be heated and must see TV.
2. Dillon Brooks vs Draymond Green: I could have typed Draymond Green and the entire Grizzlies team. However Dillon Brooks has been the greatest recipient of Draymond Green wrath. Dillon Brooks nearly licked Draymond Green’s armpit in the last game between Memphis and Warriors. I would love a playoff matchup between the two teams although it’s not complete without Ja. The Grizzlies looks shorthanded
3. Kevin Durant and Charles Barkley: The “Bus driver” debate has been one of the most heated debates for weeks. Charles Barkley believes Kevin Durant is a super team guy but not a leader and Kevin Durant is always clapping back at Barkley. The altercations between KD and Barkley are clearly off the court but they are honestly must read banter- especially for NBA Twitter Fans.
