When Devin Booker does push-ups he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the world down.

When Devin Booker has a $5 bill and you have a $5 bill, Booker has more money than you.

DEVIN BOOKER NICKNAME CONTEMPLATION UPDATE

i posted a few possibilities earlier but the only one of them i still like is 'checkbook.' "that's money from checkbook!" "cash it." "the checkbook is open and the suns cash in" bang

a friend suggested 'Quickbooks' today and I like that too

still open to 'pressure cooker' or some derivation like that

any other ideas, fellas? need to know what i should be yelling out in a drunken stupor tonight when our babyfaced assassin takes over the rising stars game and what tattoo i should get tomorrow after he wins the 3 pt contest

Booker is better at 19 than Kobe, but the comparisons should end there. Thats an emphatic NO

If you combine Goodwin and Booker and produce a player with each other's strengths... You may get Ray Allen.

Kobe Bryant's inbetween game is all time great... As in he has way too many moves at an elite level.

But in this 3pt obsess era... Shooting ability has gained grounds with actual talent in regards to perception and on court effect.

Booker ceiling is Klay Thompson with more play-making ability.....a very good second option. He needs more finishing ability (elite athleticism) and dribbling skills (elite handles) to be an 1 option. Basically higher than Klay but lower than Steph.

Thats not necessarily true, Reggie Miller shot jumpers all the way to the HOF. #1 option is as much attitude as it is athleticism.

I wouldn't try and put a ceiling on Devin Booker. Lets see it play out.

Are you saying Reggie didn't have athleticism? Reggie would take it to the hoop and dunk on your ass in a heart beat, plus he could handle the rock.

He was an average athlete at best, to me you're overselling Miller's athleticism and underselling Booker's, but meh, whatevs.

Wow! I really believe people just like picking fights with me. I said Booker athleticism wasn't elite but he would be better than Klay at play-making. Then a guy says Reggie made it to HOF by shooting J's, and I said Reggie would dunk on you and could handle the rock......

How did that over sell Reggie and undersell Booker?! Sometimes.........smh. Then you said Reggie was average at BEST....again smh...

Again, that is why age of posters matter.

TOO · Post #375 » by **TOO** » Tue Feb 16, 2016 5:34 am

Who is picking a fight? We disagree on whether or not Booker can be a #1 option. Why are you being so defensive? As for your silly age comment, you need to look in the mirror, you're reacting like a child who just got told santa isn't real, gimme a break.

Chill, no one is picking a fight. TOO explained himself in a pretty non-confrontational tone. No one is picking a fight.

When will Booker hit 8,000 career points?
