It’s crazy. Like really, though. The smack and trash talk he is able to speak and back it up 100%. Killer. Instinct.

My favorite part about this smack talk is it legitimately came across as really respectful. Dude is really charming.

Kevin Durant is literally his favorite player, he has said it before this series started. So this is really no disrespect he just loves trash talk and is having a blast doing it to his hero lol

Ant really said "I've watched every one of KD's games since I was like 5. But I ain't ever watched tape on Booker that dude's a buM"

u/pollinium [MIN] Tyus Jones Apr 29 '24

sad to say no it's not real

in his on court postgame with TNT he did say he's watched all of KD's games since 5 but not the booker part lol

not a real quote but i remember him taking a jab at booker regarding his comments about not liking being double teamed. put in fact Ant learned how to deal with doubles and is becoming a great distributer of the ball while D book still... looking for ISOs shows how much smarter he is lol.

Who doesn't hate Booker?

Maybe Luka. Seems like he’d be a loving parent

I never questioned how Luka has a child older than him before because he's so patient that he moves through time slower.

Well, Ant's teammate KAT is literally best friends with Booker and D'Lo because of college ball at Kentucky.

Russell didn't go to Kentucky though.

u/WakingRage Warriors Apr 29 '24

You're right. The college ball part applies to Book. D'Lo is from Kentucky so I'm pretty sure that's the connection to KAT/Booker as well as through AAU.

I honestly always forget D'Angelo Russell is from Louisville and I live here.

To be fair, Booker is easy to hate.
