    That Kobe part gave me chills. Make him proud Booker.
  • I like Booker's attitude. He came off the bench at Kentucky because of how stacked that team was, and instead of letting that stunt his development like so many others, he took it as a challenge. Iron sharpens iron, and now he's a fantastic NBA player.
  • Youngest player to score 70 points in game and he’s still under rated 🤦🏽‍♂️
  • kobe actually said he would become legendary time to sit back and watch tht happen
  • @MikeJay-on5tt
    Booker is making his book mark as an elite scorer by scoring 70 points in one game.
  • @35mmadi
    Such an excellently written cover story! So nice to see that Book is finally getting the recognition he deserves 👌🏽
  • @robinnico7212
    Seeing how happy he was while talking to Kobe made me tear up
  • @darkness78171
    I love when players tell about their passion and love for the game of basketball, especially from where they came from at first.
  • @chrisa9628
    Some people still don’t see how dope this dude is.. 👑👑👑👑👑
  • I've been saying for years that this guy is a Kobe replica. Both were number 13 pics, both similar mamba mentality, shot selection, mechanics. You can see the Kobe in him. If this guy was on the right team from the get go, he would have already been in those MVP talks. Excited to be a Suns fan and glad he's getting the recognition he deserves...and now, the surrounding talent
  • Kobe was rht my boy killing his first playoff run he def got that mamba mentally devin booker the next Kobe out here for real Be legendary!! ✊🏾💯
  • @thelegendclaude
    & now his team is in the western conference finals. what a great journey so far for book! KEEP GOING. 🙏🏾
  • He went to my high school for his freshman year. His middle school records just got broken. Really cool to see him succeed
  • Wow this was the most interesting story of Devin Booker as Phoenix Sun's player to rise up the Phoenix Sun's team to the Western Conference Final. The most interesting is that keep met up with the legendary Kobe Bryant one and one. As Devin Booker is and will be a legend the way he plays. God bless you Devin Booker 🙏❤🙌💯👏🏻👏🏻
