Devin Booker - Bubble MVP/Super Scorer

Devin Booker. 2020 NBA All-Star. 2018 Three-Point Contest champion. Youngest player in NBA history with consecutive 50 point games. Youngest player to score 60 or more in an NBA game. Book is one of only SIX players in NBA history to reach the 70 point plateau - Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, David Robinson, David Thompson, and Elgin Baylor are his only contemporaries in that hyper exclusive club.
The BEST player on the only team in history that will go undefeated in the regular season in August. Best of all? As of the end of his time in the bubble, he’s ONLY 23 years old.
Devin devastates defenders. His arsenal is awe-inspiring. He’s outstanding off the ball. He’s evolving as a screener. He’s a sharpshooter whether on the catch or off the bounce. He’ll blow by if you play up. He’s splashing it if you play off. Booker breaks defensive game plans by burying it from just about anywhere on the court, with just about anyone guarding him (see: Lu Dort from distance or Paul George at the end of that game). Book’s footwork is fantastic, his balance is brilliant, he’ll be a battering ram and bang around with bigs because he’s sneaky strong. Plus, Devin is developing his passing game - not that it’s even been bad, but he’ll read and recognize situations well ahead of when he used to and he’ll make the right play right away.
Damian Lillard guested on the GREAT podcast Tea With A & Phee (link below) before the Suns and Blazers had played their final regular season games. Dame was asked about being the Bubble MVP, he responded “I mean if it was up to, I’ll say Devin Booker. I’ll give to him because they’re undefeated.” He did follow up by saying “he can have the Bubble MVP but I need the playoff spot.”
Lillard later went on say that whoever gets the playoff spot will probably win MVP…but let’s give Monty Williams the Coach of the Bubble award and then, it's really up to you who gets Bubble MVP. I'd honestly be happy with naming Lillard and Booker Co-MVPs.
As far as I know, this has nearly every made FG from the bubble regular season play. The dunk against the Raptors is from the warmup games but it was too good and too similar to the dunk against the 76ers to leave out.

[@goldenknicks]

Two man game video. Jokic/Murray?

[@bluefurby5251]

his midrange game is so deadly, i hope the suns carry on next season

[@BlueJarth]

The left-handed dunks are insane. Big props for uploading consistent heat, 'preciate it as always

[@noahelliott5413]

Unreal lefty finisher

[@NBArtv]

Booker is just a natural scorer for real

[@jamebrewington4212]

He may be young but he is still one of the best guards in the NBA

[@noahelliott5413]

That thunder game was uncanny. It's like he couldn't even see Dort on some of those plays and he was draped all over him

[@0neironautics218]

Book has been going nuts fr, great video man!

[@sageof6paths.818]

He’s always under control, he never allows the defense to speed him up. One sign of a great offensive player

[@Michael-fu1zn]

AND HE STILL DOMINATING IN THE NBA 2 SEASONS LATER

[@zPhresh]

Thank you Evin! 🙏🏾 Watched every Suns game this year. Book and this team finally getting some attention.

[@EvinGualberto]

I'm still making my way through the regular season stuff - but props to you for having that type of patience. I watched the Suns every season Nash was there and every season after he left until they traded Dragic away. Still root for them a little deep down

[@frostzac2418]

I really like the way you make ur videos man, keep it going 💪

[@robbiehackman8811]

Great video Evin . Please do one on bubble midrange jumpers

[@nosetrillhd9786]

Your uploads are goat

[@kufa583]

I can definitly see a future video of Booker passing, is a very underrated thing of his game and some passes are beautiful

[@mathewclark1902]

You were right

[@eronmarkjareno8623]

This is my man. DBook.

[@zhuoyuanzhang7022]

Please make more Devin Booker videos

[@ivergino]

Thank You for this video. Can you also do rubio supper passer. lol

[@Ventus7777]

I hope he stays healthy because he's so explosive it's crazy how natural of a scorer he is

[@jeromegonzales1844]

League Leader in term of 3 points made. I want to see it to your next vid.
Ray Allen highlights.

[@ifheavenwashuman]

Please make another one for Jrue Holiday.

[@elias_kx]

Do you have any content for Cam Reddish?

[@edp-gb6yz]

Jrue Holiday - Lockdown please

[@JM-xz9hq]

i feel like the suns profited from the bubble situation. i think they didnt like playing in front of fans that doubted them all the time

[@devvv4616]

damm will they be finally a 50 win team already next season?

[@luisfrancomemes1537]

What shoes was booker using

[@goldenknicks]

More skilled than B. Roy?

[@EvinGualberto]

That's tough man. Brandon was 22 when he came into the league. Devin has finished his 5th season in the league having not even turned 24 yet (he will in October).
Hard to say because Kobe called Roy the most difficult player to guard in 2010. I remember distinctly the line "no weaknesses in his game" coming from Kobe.

[@goldenknicks]

Evin Gualberto I remember the game, Ron Artest said the same thing. Book’s skill set is so advanced for his age, the skill level of the young talent is insane.

[@trynalearn]

Roy had this way of always being balanced, tight handles, and could get to the rim at will.
It’s a shame we never saw him reach his prime. The guy just felt like you could always trust him to do what needed to be done on the court.

[@jeremykaren5]

Kyle Anderson crafty/slow finishes?

[@afdemir23]

Im waiting for luka and Ad

[@ArmandTheBlackRevolutionary]

perfect record in the bubble and still no shot is some bullshit imo. Ik the NBA did the best it could but thats frustrating.

[@yoguy123]

mamba jr

[@hyt654]

next KOBE

[@plentylives]

The next harden?

[@t-mofisher8922]

i really hope the Suns can recreate the success they had in the bubble next season. They did a lot of things right this season, now they have to take the framework and build themselves into a playoff lock.
it’s a shame only 8 teams can make the playoffs. i really feel like this year there were 10 playoff teams out west. maybe time for the NBA to try 1-16 seeding?

[@G0j1ra117]

The greatest Suns team of all time

[@viviennewestwoodruinedmylife]

Hell no

[@EvinGualberto]

Greatest Suns team of all time in August.

[@viviennewestwoodruinedmylife]

Evin Gualberto 🤣🤣

[@felix_remmie6048]

Drake was right

[@BeastModeXCIII]

Trade Ayton and picks for Embiid!
