Rivalries in any sport are essential to keep it growing. In the NBA, the fans have witnessed many rivalries over the years. In the current
season, a rivalry which is definitely the one to watch out for is between Luka
Doncic and
Devin Booker.
The two came face-to-face when the
Dallas Mavericks faced the
Phoenix Suns at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Thursday.
The home team came out on top in the match with a score of
123-113. The star of the show for the home team was Doncic who registered 41
points to go with nine rebounds and 11 assists.
For the lost team, unsurprisingly, the star of the show was
Booker who registered 35 points to go with five rebounds and eight assists.
Fans on the social media platform X — previously known as
Twitter — had a lot to say about the development. One user even went on to say
that Doncic showed Booker who is the real boss in a usual manner by writing: “you
mean a father owning his sun as usual?”

he is averaging 34.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game. On the
other hand, Booker is having a great season for the Suns as he is averaging 27.5
