You think that push from behind while in the air was a flop???


Push? It was a slight contact. You're really telling me he couldn't land in a normal way? He literally pushed his both feet forward to land on his ass lol.. check the replay.

Same. I was never a fan. But he’s been awesome to watch. We all know he’s an incredible offensive player but it’s been great to see him buying into the team game, hustling and doing the little things.


He's a very smart player in knowing where to be on the floor. He has really thrived playing alongside an elite passer in LeBron

+1 for the Booker has won me over comments. Just so solid all around, no mistakes.
