Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns registered a famous victory over Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night. Booker, alongside Kevin Durant, proved to be too much for the Mavs.
During the game, D-Book grabbed several headlines due to his heated scuffle with Luka. The two players went eye-to-eye against each other, and Booker certainly didn’t hold back in terms of talking trash to Doncic. NBA analyst Shannon Sharpe thinks the reason behind Booker becoming more talkative is the arrival of Kevin Durant on the roster.
“D-Book’s doing a lot of talking,” Sharpe said. “You know why? Because he has the ultimate big brother now. If I’m a younger brother [and] I got a big brother that three yeas older than me, I’d get a lot of chirpy because I wouldn’t be worried about anybody beating me. D-Book’s about to start to do a lot more chirping.”
Apart from being a talented superstar in the NBA, Kevin Durant is an experienced veteran and has one of the biggest fan followings in the NBA.
On top of that, Durant is not afraid to speak his mind when necessary. Keeping all of that in mind, it’s no surprise that Booker feels like he can be a lot more talkative around other players in the league.
Devin Booker Loves Being Kevin Durant’s Teammate
Devin Booker has ached to get a superstar teammate like Kevin Durant throughout his career with the Phoenix Suns. With Durant’s arrival on the team, Booker’s dream of creating a superteam in Phoenix has been fulfilled as well.
Speaking of his relationship with KD, D-Book has nothing but praise for the 2x NBA champion.
“It’s just every time he shoots the ball. It’s just so effortless,” Booker said. “You can see defenders trying their hardest to contest or fight over a screen, and he looks unbothered or unfazed.”
Booker unloaded this praise on Durant after playing for the first time as teammates. The love between the two players goes both ways, as Durant had revealed what he loved about Booker’s game even before playing a game together as teammates.
All things considered, the two superstars seem to be getting along pretty well, which is great news for the fanbase of the Phoenix Suns. If they can continue further honing their chemistry as teammates while racking up more wins for the Suns, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs.
