If you haven’t seen the video below of Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker and current NBA free agent Joakim Noah barking at each other during a pickup game, have a watch (warning: NSFW language). It may not look like much, but it has spawned a viral controversy.

Joakim: "Yeah, we are. It’s part of the game."
