The Phoenix Suns have been a dominant team in the NBA. They have the best record and a really well-put team to keep running things well. Their leader, Chris Paul, has continued to help this team win since joining last season. Now, they face the Los Angeles Clippers and will look to further improve their record. However, these two teams have some history as Paul George went right at the Suns last season.

Following a regular-season game, PG-13 commented on the Suns doing a lot of during the games. Their few games were a physical affair, and it was scrappy. Hence, the All-Star guard was not a happy customer. While George and Devin Booker have had an altercation, it seems there is also some beef between George and Paul. The two refused to shake hands last season after their regular season encounter.

Moreover, George didn’t entertain a question regarding Paul, which had the fans wondering about the story between their beef.

Paul George doesn’t hold back against Chris Paul and the Suns

After a rough battle, the Suns came out on top while taking on the Clippers last season. With a close game on hand, CP3 went off against his former team and scored 28 points while dishing out 10 assists as well. After the game, there was a moment where he and Chris Paul refused to acknowledge each other and retracted from a handshake. However, in a prior game, George got the better of Paul and didn’t hold back while speaking about the Suns.

After scoring 33 points in a win over the Suns, he went off and said he didn’t care about the way the Suns were playing. He said: “I  don’t know what that chirp is about. We focused on us. I don’t care what they’re doing over there. I don’t care who they are or what they’re doing.”
