Sooner or later people are going to realize that Booker isn't just a sneaky good passer for a scorer, he's one of the best playmakers in the league.

He's definitely at least a top 25 playmaker in the league

He's at 8.9 APG this season now which is top 5 in the league

Sure doesn’t mean he’s a top 5 passer or remotely close to that tho. Hes avg more apg than Luka and lebron but not nearly the playmaker that they are.

After reading your comments I'm just curious, how many times have you gone to check the box score only to find out booker destroyed your favorite team? We all know you didn't watch the games. All hate, no tape.

Booker is quite literally one of the best playmaker in the game right now. CBS recently put out a whole article specifically about just that and why he's a more advanced playmaker than a drive and dish type player that racks up assists. Do some reading, watch some film, learn some ball.

here ya go

I’ve watched every play off game he’s played. Including all of his elimination games. Yeah he was really destroying teams then.

If you watched all his playoff games then you would know he was mirroring prime Jordan last postseason on both sides of the ball through 11 games, got hurt halfway through game 5 against Denver on an absolutely reckless play Brown, and tried to play through it in an elimination game that saw his running mate KD start 0-10 with multiple turnovers.

The reports about the game 7 against Dallas, where half the team was so sick to the point everyone was wondering if they were playing with covid, are verified.

And against Milwaukee, Jrue holiday is a beast. Made respect for his defensive ability. But also book was playing on an injured hammy and cp was useless to the point he couldn't dribble.

How about the other elimination games, when he sent teams home? 47 points in staples giving lebron his first 1st round exit? Career 28ppg in the postseason?

Again, just tired narrative repeating. You're a box score watcher. A casual. It's cool, just don't pretend like you know ball is all

He's also leading the whole NBA in Net Rating amongst players who have started 7+ games. And 2nd in AST% by that same metric behind only Tyrese Haliburton.

The impact is noticeable every time he's on the court vs off. He's orchestrating this offense and being a true leader. Anyone who said he's incapable of playing a traditional PG role is looking very stupid rn.

“Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father”

No. He’s. NOT.

He’s just not. I’m sick of hearing this kind of bullshit misinformation get spread by brainless cretins that, frankly, I’m surprised could even type on their keyboard. Maybe they didn’t though, maybe they just smashed their sweaty, ugly, greasy, zit-covered faces all over their keyboard. That’s probably the only way something so painfully stupid could be thought up.

Luka is NOT DEVIN BOOKER FATHER you STUPID buffoon!!! His father is MELVIN BOOKER!! You might not have heard of him because you know nothing about the real NBA but let me assure you, he’s better than this Licky Dink Chick fellow. Melvin is the biological father and father figure of Devin Booker. It’s not that hard to figure out. A simple google search could’ve told you. Stop being so ignorant and just think critically for once you plebeian.

How the hell would Luka even be his father??? Doesn’t match up snowflake!!!!! Think next time before you open your rancid mouth and post such stupid takes on this subreddit.

Are these his stats against the Knicks?

My BF and I got together pretty recently, it's been only 15 days after knowing each other for 2 months and a half. When we first started talking all he did was talk about Devin Booker who is a player for the Sun's basketball team and also about Drake. We would listen to Drake's songs for three hours straight. I thought I could be okay with his interest in both of them. Since everyone has their own interest in things. But recently I've noticed that he can't go five minutes without mentioning Devin Booker. For example, we're eating ice cream and out of nowhere he asks me "do you think Devin Booker likes chocolate ice cream." Or we're on the phone and we've gotten quiet for a bit then he hits me with "Do you think Devin Booker is asleep right now?" I just laugh it off and say I have no idea. But all I'm thinking about inside is how can you switch that interest you have in them to me or at least talk more about yourself. I'm stump on how to even bring it up to him. I'm able to play a bit more of my songs in the car when we go out without him commenting on them on complaining that he needs more Drake in the car. The thing is I have fun and enjoy our time together when he isn't talking about them. He's a really sweet guy and I just want to ask him if he can tone it down a bit without sounding rude.
