I read somewhere that he had better stats in his playoff run than Kobe ever did in any of his playoff runs. And more 40 pt games in the finals than any of Kobe’s finals series as well. I only mention Kobe because of they are compared so often.
Funny how other NBA players who have to play against Booker appreciate his game more than fans do. Not just reg NBA players either, basically every active HOFer of the past like 3 years, superstars and remotely star players have made it a point to share how special of a player he is. Yet even some Suns fans like to run to bash Booker after he has one bad game after dropping like 40 on absurd efficiency against elite defenses.
It’s because unlike some foolish fans, these NBA players who have to play against Booker night in and night out have to know how much of a headache it is to defend him and knows how much he **** up their defensive game plans.
Even CP3 and Monty have both said how they only came to this franchise because of Booker. Suns would probably be in similar shape or worse than the Kings if Booker never became a Sun.
It’s crazy that he’s only 24 and he’s played the way he has especially in the playoffs and finals. He has a lot of things to improve on for sure but it’s downright scary to think how good he will be in 2-3 years when he will enter his true prime.
