Gotta show he can preserve his gas tank in a series first, before he’ll get that respect.
Headband Books is something else.
Very good game from him. Considering playoffs last year too it feels like he has to be #1 option for suns?
He’s been the #1 option for 5+ years lol
Book is the Suns superstar.
🌎🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
Last 3 suns baskets off Devin Booker assists!
Booker clearly should’ve been ranked in the top 10
He looked like the best player on the floor tonight and it wasn’t close.
He’s gotten more patient to get to his spots and he made his shots.
MVP
Not sure about end of an era quite yet. Steph was in early foul trouble, maybe in a couple more years.
A weird thought I had during the game – Booker plays so smooth it’s probably very easy for the people of 2k to animate
The funny part is animations were actually notorious for being trash for ages though. lol They just gave him some default jank ass animations that looked nothing like his IRL play.
Until he got the cover last year then they brought him into the studio and motion captured him to finally fix the animations.
lol In the video from 2K where he got mocapped, Booker himself said he didn’t like to play as himself because they had him very “generic”:
he’s top tier now. top five in the league imo.
prime MVP candidate, if your on an team with KD/Beal, drop 30 points AND win? yeah he might get up there this year
Booker is starting to look like the best guard in the league, period. We have a whole season to figure it out, but it’s not crazy to believe he surpasses Luka and Steph this season.
Booker was quite literally the only player that had a good game tonight.
And he did it with a sore toe.
The Suns are Booker’s team. That’s really the primary takeaway. No other takeaways about an end of an era/etc. are really applicable or necessary. Booker has already been great, been a star, and now looks primed to be a superstar this season.
His playmaking and his defense elevating as it has is what is going to see him potentially lead this Suns team to the title this season.
