"I’m at my home arena and you hear chants to another guy. I totally respect Russell. He brings it each and every night. You can’t discredit what he’s been doing. I’m sure he’s gonna pass Oscar for the most triple-doubles, but I just didn’t want that to be here,” Booker said to reporters after the game. “I took that personal. I’m sure if someone’s chasing a record in OKC, he’d feel the same way.”
