Scuffle breaks out between Suns’ Devin Booker and Rockets’ Cam Whitmore

Things got chippy between Phoenix guard Devin Booker and Houston Rockets forward Cam Whitmore on Thursday at Footprint Center in a 110-105 win for the Suns.

It was nothing Booker took offense to.

“Started last game, same thing,” Booker told reporters after the game. “Just competing, being extra physical. I like it. I’ve been in these situations plenty of times before.

“I was that same young player doing that same thing. I remember doing it to Jimmy Butler my rookie year, him going in postgame after, talking about me.”

The Suns defeated the Rockets behind Booker’s 35 points on 13-of-27 shooting. He also added seven rebounds and three assists.

Booker made a 3-pointer with 6:48 remaining to put Phoenix up 93-84.

While the All-Star guard was landing, Whitmore shoved Booker from behind, which caused the Suns’ guard to retaliate by running into Whitmore on his way back on defense. The two then shoved each other and exchanged words before a scuffle broke out between both teams. Double technical fouls were issued to both players.

The two also got into it on Friday after Booker went 7-of-24 from the field in Phoenix’s 114-110 loss in Houston.

Booker said in his postgame interview that he welcomes the competition coming from Whitmore, though center Jusuf Nurkic said the scuffling was “nonsense basketball.”

“I think it’s always fun to turn it up a little bit,” Booker said. “Gets ultra competitive — that’s what this sports about. I feel like we’re getting away from it as a whole NBA. Nothing personal, just competition.”

From people who see heaven after being declared clinically dead, to those who believe they’ve been reincarnated, there are plenty who are certain that life goes on after death. Now, others are claiming to have had ‘pre-birth experiences’ – and insist they experienced consciousness before they were even born while their soul was already alive and getting ready to enter a human body. Also known as a ‘pre-mortal’ or ‘near-birth’ experiences, self-proclaimed ‘psychics’ on social media claim they remember their soul travelling down a ‘pre-birth tunnel’ and into their human bodies.

As Democrats all over the world weep into their kombucha, I’m afraid I have only one thing to say: you brought this on yourselves.

As Democrats all over the world weep into their kombucha, I’m afraid I have only one thing to say: you brought this on yourselves. I’m sure Kamala Harris is a perfectly nice woman but at no point during this campaign did she demonstrate the strength of character, vision and sheer star power required to win the White House. Many Americans – certainly most Americans I know – have deep reservations about Donald Trump. They find him distasteful, divisive, deeply dodgy. And indeed, he can be all of those things. But even the staunchest of liberals felt deeply disappointed and let down by this Biden administration and, in particular, its stubborn refusal to acknowledge the current President’s evident shortcomings. Harris was a poor choice of candidate – but perhaps more significantly she was also an establishment choice on the part of an elite desperate to stay in power, a human box-ticking exercise who, whatever her own personal merits, was always going to stick in the craw of the ordinary American.

Many people on the Right in Britain are delighted by Donald Trump’s victory. He has seen off Kamala Harris, a patently mediocre woman of the soft Left who champions woke causes. I am very far from delighted. In fact, I’m profoundly depressed.

Many people on the Right in Britain are delighted by Donald Trump’s victory. He has seen off Kamala Harris, a patently mediocre woman of the soft Left who champions woke causes. I am very far from delighted. In fact, I’m profoundly depressed. There is good reason to believe that Trump will be bad for America, the world and Britain. Of course, we don’t have very much idea what he will do since such policies as he unveiled during the presidential campaign were pretty vague, and may never see the light of day.
