But he scored 70 in a loss, its all good.
Let's see...
- Booker became the fifth-
youngest player in NBA history to record a double-double behind LeBron James and few others.
- Booker became the third-
youngest player in NBA history at 19 years, 81 days old to record a 30-point game, as well as the youngest Suns player to score 30 or more points in a game. LeBron James and Kevin Durant are the only two players who were younger than Booker to score 30 in a game.
- The following day, he competed in the NBA All-Star Weekend's Three-Point Contest, becoming the
youngest contestant to ever participate in the event and only the fourth rookie to compete in the 30-year-old contest,[80] joining Stephen Curry (2010), Kyle Korver (2004) and Dennis Scott (1991).[81][82] He made it to the final round of the event, beating out both James Harden and J. J. Redick in a tiebreaker event after the first round, where he finished third behind the Splash Brothers – Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson (winner).
- Booker recorded his second-straight 30+ point game (third in a week and fourth overall at the time) by setting a new career-high with 35 points in a game vs the Denver Nuggets,[87] joining LeBron James as the only
teenagers in NBA history with back-to-back 30+ point games.
- On April 9, with 16 points scored in a 121–100 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Booker reached 1,014 for the season, making him the fourth-
youngest player to reach 1,000 career points, following only LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant, as well as the third-youngest during their rookie season.
- Two days later, also in Mexico City, Booker had a second straight 39-point effort in a 108–105 win over the San Antonio Spurs,[112] becoming the youngest player in NBA history to record consecutive games of 39 or more points in the regular season.
- With 31 points against the Milwaukee Bucks on February 4, Booker became the
youngest player to score at least 20 points in 16 consecutive games. Booker did it at 20 years, 97 days. His 16-game streak is the second-longest by any first-year or second-year player in the last 20 seasons—Vince Carter had a 23-game run as a second-year player during the 1999–2000 season
- On March 24, Booker became the sixth player in NBA history to score 70 points in a game, accomplishing the feat in the Suns' 130–120 loss to the Celtics at TD Garden. Booker joined Wilt Chamberlain, David Robinson, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor and Kobe Bryant as players to reach 70 in one game.
- Booker, 20, became the
youngest player to score 70 (or even 60) points in a game.
- With 21 points against Dallas on April 9, Booker passed Kobe Bryant to move into fourth place on the NBA scoring list of players before their 21st birthday with 2,774 points, trailing only Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and leader LeBron James.
