Re: Devin Booker
Funny thing was Booker starts doing the autograph and fist-bump with the fans just as the guys on the Nuggets broadcast were going on about him losing his head and being too arrogant.

Re: Devin Booker
I was following some Lakers' guys on twitter and all of them are pretty salty on Booker.
They compare DAR with him all the time hahaha it's hilarious.

Oh, I'm huge DAR fan... I just think it's funny for them to force a rivalry between them.

I'm not sure about either with who we have in the league today. Maybe in the distant future but not any time soon. I know DRK said similar things about him in the draft which was a good reason LA took him so early. Booker I don't know.
But you have to be a top 2 or 3 seed to have the MVP in almost every year in a long time and with Davis, Towns, Westbrook, Harden, Curry, Durant, LeBron for a bit longer, and even Greek Freak and Porzingis are also there potentially in the future. If the Bulls keep getting better, can't count out Jimmy Butler at some point or even Paul George if they get there...just so many possibilities....oh yeah, and Kawhi Leonard? He might have as good as chance as anyone if SA finishes with one of the top seeds. Also have Griffin.

Logic would say neither win the MVP, but i think Booker clearly has the potential to be in the conversation in the future - He should become a dominant scorer and i think he can average 5-6 assists a game. Obviously years away from even talking about it though

Re: Devin Booker
I'm trying to buy a black Devin Booker swingman jersey online and man it is impossible. Only Eric Bledsoe jerseys. Help with any reliable links?
Loved this dude for a while, have to get his jersey. You guys got a special young talent.

Re: Devin Booker
“That’s how I was raised,” Booker, 20, said. “That’s just being kind to people. I’m in a position where I’ve worked hard to put myself on a pedestal to be a role model and do the right thing. I felt like that was the right thing at the moment. I wasn’t really upset about the ejection. I didn’t understand it.
“I deserved the first technical. I didn’t understand the second one. A couple words were exchanged but everybody does that in the NBA every possession. I didn’t know it was going to go as viral as it did.”
Last season, Suns coach Earl Watson encouraged Booker to stand up for himself more when he became the focal point of the offense and opponents' defensive attention late in the season. Booker received four technical fouls last season.
“Sometimes, you have to let the referee know you’re young, but you’re not going to sit there and be quiet about it,” Watson said. “He felt like he was fouled so he let the referees know, 'I might be young but I deserve that call.' I can’t question that.
“Devin is strategic. He knows what he is doing at all times. He’s always under control. If he wasn’t under control, he doesn’t sign an autograph when he gets kicked out.”

Re: Devin Booker
Why are we playing Booker when he is clearly injured? We need to shut him down until he heals properly and play our rookies including Ulis. There I said it.

Re: Devin Booker
Why just not rest him for a couple of games until he heales? It's obvious he's not 100%.

And players like Harden you barely breathe on him and he gets an automatic foul call go his way, league operates too much on reputation and if you're not a star you won't get the calls most of the time on those 50/50 calls.
