Devin Booker isn’t even going there.
The All-Star guard was asked about the idea of talking trash to teammate Kevin Durant in a practice setting after Day 3 of Phoenix Suns’ training camp Thursday at the team’s practice.
“You’re asking the wrong person,” Booker said. “I’ve never done that.”

Durant is entering his 18th NBA season.
The line of questioning began Tuesday when rookie Ryan Dunn addressed the difference between college and NBA practice, saying there’s “a lot of F-yous” in an NBA practice.
“I think you have a lot more leeway on what you can or can’t say (as a veteran),” Dunn said “Hopefully I get there also.”
So Booker was first asked Thursday about trashing talking Durant.
Hard pass.
“A lot of F-Us.”

Then Booker took a follow-up question about his personal level of trash talking with this being his 10th NBA season.
“It’s just competitive,” Booker said. “Mine stays pretty consistent through my first year of ever playing basketball. I kind of treat every moment the same.”
