Every Time Devin Booker Made Fans Hate Him
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Devin Booker & the Phoenix Suns have recently lost to the Adelaide 36ers in an opening preseason game at Phoenix. And Booker took to Instagram to call out the haters. Because of this, I've wanted to make a video detailing all the times Devin Booker made fans hate him (and there are plenty). These moments include the one with the Raptors mascot, the one where he refused to get double-teamed in an open gym, among many other.

I love your vids bro but you trippin on this one. Having admiration for a player doesn’t mean you want to be compared to them. The commercial and he did was totally fine bro. Love your vids though, just disagree on that one.
You can admire a player & do all the photoshoots you want honoring said player. But him saying he doesn't want to be compared to Kobe, when coming into the league that's who he based his game on, is nasty. You think Kobe would have said this about Jordan after copying most of his moves & mannerisms? Booker's rather thin skin is revealing here imo & tells me he doesn't take to well to criticism
@@tooforwon241 You are right bro. Ppl need to realize it depends on the context of how he said it. If he was trying to deflect his responsibiliies due to his bad performances then it's a bad look. On the other hand, if he was being humble and said he didn't want to be compared to Kobe. That would be a different story.
It’s one of those situations where athletes are aware of their perception and use the media to influence it. If booker didn’t want the Kobe comparisons he would not have steered into it so hard. He wanted it and it really really backfired.
He literally wants to be Kobe idk what u talkin bout
Suns fan here, this is video is the truth. booker is overrated.
That, "Yeah we are" after booker complained about being doubled in an open gym was perfect. Dude said it so quick too
If Joakim was still a Clipper when they faced the Suns in 2021 instead of Boogie, it would have been poetic as hell
The GOAT JOAKIM NOAH CHICAGO LEGEND
Why they call him the next Kobe ? Thats disrespectfull. Booker is not a superstar
@@C00LESTJEDI exactly
That’s Joakim. He’d rather be double teamed than go back to Cleveland
Maybe Booker wouldn't have got stripped by the bucks if he practiced getting doubled
Reminds me of KD complaining about draymond and Iggy double teaming him in practice and then the Celtics absolutely clamping the nets by doing exactly that
how stupid u have to be to think they dont practice against double teams 😂 😂 😂
Last playoffs too funny enough.
You know he had back 2 back 40 point games in that series right? Damn casuals everywhere lol
@@TennesseeTip And yet, all that effort? For nothing as not once bit twice did the Suns lose a series because of Booker choking when double teamed.
Luka really has been so present and impactful and Devin's life recently. What a good father
Lol
Luka has 0 finals mvps and will never win a ring but ok
@@arizonaFIREent He will win a ring as the main man before Booker. Booker will never win a title as the head honcho.
@@juliansearcie1758 lol luka wcf averages 32 9 6 / Steph 23 6 7 😄😄😄 he negates curry. But if your wings combined 0-15 and Brunson forggot how to make layups, u cant beat warriors. Anyway steph isnt Lukas daddy, absolutely not
@@arizonaFIREent Book ain’t gonna fuck you lil bro.
Kobe: Played with a dislocated finger
Booker: Got a raptor mascot ejected/complained about getting doubled in an open game
Kobe was also carried by the most dominant center of all time who averages 35ppg in the finals
@@arizonaFIREent i dont see the connection to my comment, but ok
And as the mid-wit entered the convo, a casual opining of _"Kobe was carried..."_ could be suddenly detected - wafting about like an egg fart emerging from an entire month of digestion.
Booker played with a broken nose…
@@DonDavious his nose wasn’t broken….

Kobe told you to “Be Legendary,” he didn’t tell you to “Be Kobe.” I get so tired of Book/people talking about him like that
Thank you !
book literally said he’s his own player and to stop comparing him w kobe but go off😂
@@niggilywiggily Yeah after 4 years when it didnt stick lmao too late now
Bruh but litterally said he is nothing like kobe tatum is the one that wants to be kobe
@@thirontv2143 yeah but look at when he said it
It’s actually crazy how little attention Matt Devlin and Jack Armstrong get, such an amazing duo. Can never get enough of Matt Devlin shouting out Canadian cities each 3 ball
Best commentary in the league.
So facts
Get that garbage outta here
As an Aussie, its how I get my Canadian geography fix
MATTTTY DEEEEEEE!
Facts
As funny as the Dieng slander was, he does have a good career. He signed something around $50 million deal a few years back. He worked hard to go from bench warmer to a solid backup
He's one of those players that I just really like for no particular reason. Hard worker and seems like a good dude I guess
I respect him bc he was my teammate in 2k15 on the Wolves
Lol yeah, now the wolves have a new clumsy backup center that’ll make good money named Reid. They love the clumsy hard workers. If only the stars on the team had the same determination
this is beautiful, the suns team as a whole is so unlikable to me
Frontrunners
@@manz7860 💯
They like running their mouths but can't back up the trash talk
Jae “Passed around like a blunt” Crowder comes to mind
They act like champs but just aren’t lol
Devin Booker was that kid who got presents on his brother's birthday.
That’s such a Booker moment right there
As somebody who was a big fan of him and his game, he really went out of his way to make fans dislike him.... mostly during the Suns-Mavs series.
shiii as people been hating him more he’s become my favorite player i love watching his game he’s so smooth and i love how he talk hella smack😂 ion really mind when it backfires cuz it happens to everyone but people really get in they feelings with this guy it’s crazy
@@niggilywiggily bcuz hes being in his feelings too dont talk shit like they already won the title they dont have the right to do that beside all their runs are fluke they aint getting back to the Finals forever even the WCF just 2nd round exits
*LUKA SPECIAL!*
I think Book was always meant to be hated just because he was a Phoenix Sun. They went from " we love book but get him on a different team" to " this dude thinks he's kobe now" and now hating on booker is a meme and gets you likes so go figure. I've been watching his career since he was at Kentucky there's honestly no reason to hate him this much 🤣
Not at all dude. I’m glad you’re not a Booker or Suns fan anymore.
If you were ever a fan you'd still be one. As someone who is 25 and watched the suns since i was 8, Dbook is the best suns player in team history by age 26 and will likely be one of the all time leading scorers in NBA history by career's end. You and anyone else that wants to base judgement off him for the collective dud that it was against the Mavs were just haters to start with. Anything in between that is nonsensical, even more so.
Booker is like the Jaden Smith of basketball.
accurate lol
Got lucky back in '21
- Won against lakers when AD got hurt in game 3
- Won against clippers without Kawhi and clippers had them for 2 games
- Got 4 straight loss to the Bucks in the Finals when they got 2-0 and thought it was a sweep 🤣
- And got destroyed by Luka inside 3 quarters in Game 7 in their turf
Mamba mentality my ass 🤡
AD got hurt in Game 4 and missed all of Game 5 and left after a few minutes in Game 6, plus Jamal Murray was out for the entire playoffs so no other scoring threat other than Jokic, and Kawhi was out too.
Every single team the Suns played in the playoffs and beat had injuries to at least 1 key player. Even the Pelicans.
Nah Luka finished them by half time. 🤣
bruh, although booker is kind of overrated, he probably has mamba mentality. The chokes you described, that is exactly how Kobe played. Choking numerous finals and playoffs. That is exactly how mamba mentality works.
@@schlast8311 nope lol during the 2021 finals vs bucks, chris paul and booker had the post game interview after game 2, they we're laughing they're asses out, smirking all the way through out the interview, thinking that they are up 2-0 and thought that the series was over. on the other hand, kobe was interviewed being up in the series also, what did kobe respond? "jobs not finished" was not smiling at all. Stop the non-sense comparison. And lastly, your booker was crying that a mascot was distracting him on the free throw line, is that what you call "mamba mentality"? STOP DISRESPECTING KOBE!
Won against Denver while Jamal Murray was injured. Then Jamal Murray got healthy and the Nuggets won 4-2 (and then won the championship)
Another W video bro and to be quite honest when Luka said “Everybody acting tough when they’re up” after Devin’s “Luka special” clip it hits different. Divine justice baby. Look Devin Booker is a fantastic player to watch I wish him the best of luck in his career but he needs to be more composed I understand trash talking is a part of the game but you don’t want it to backfire.
You are consistently the nicest commenter I've seen on my channel (and my biggest supporter honestly) and even you have some spicy things to say about Booker. Makes me feel like I'm not tripping with this vid honestly. Thanks!
@@tooforwon241 Of course man, I’m just trying to come up with logical explanations while also trying to be responsible with what I see and say. I understand that making those videos take a lot of time and of course just overall dedication so the least I can do is just being nice and understanding but keep up the amazing videos bro maybe one day we can do a collab. However your videos really should be considered documentaries 👍
I know the people who defend Booker were the same that were clowning on Tatum during and after the finals.
I don't remember Tatum ever getting a mascot kicked out a game, and I'm a Sixers fan so I'm looking for any reason to not like Tatum lol
The thing about the Lebron clip is that if Booker just like didn’t post he could’ve just shrugged it off and said it was preseason and he didn’t care. Posting like that is peak “I’m not mad you’re actually mad” meme
Exactly! To those saying "it's just a preseason game", well Book could've easily just ignored it & moved on. Nah he really cares & the hate clearly got to him
It's that meme with the smiling mask and the crying face underneath lol
SAS early in video: I think he's the next Kobe
SAS late: He's not who WE thought he was
"We"?!?
Why are PatBev and I getting dragged into this??
🤣😂😉
lmao he soft
Imagine next time Suns face the Mavs, he sees Luka walk out wearing a Raptor costume that's wearing an Adelaide jersey.
Piling up the trauma, huh? You merciless human being... 😭
You monster🤣🤣🤣
Its ironic that one of the softest guys in a league have Kobe as his role model. I guess his insecurities are mirrored in Kobes strengths.
Interesting that kobe genuinely seemed like he believed in devin and saw himself in him.
@@bringinthedope5929 I think Kobe saw a raw talent of Devin and lets be real he got that 100% its just… he failed almost every major test in his career so far. But hey there are examples of greats who struggled their whole career like Dirk so maybe that something special that Kobe’ve seen in Booker gonna reveal itself.
Same Kobe that got punched by chris childs, back downed from raja bell and ron artest yet went after the softest player in the league Dwight Howard????? Haha kobe fans are so retarded
Not gonna lie, Luka complains to the refs a lot and doesn’t get any flak
@@dannychamberlain6244 its not about flopping and crying. Its about ability thriving under the pressure, being able to fight and win in do or die situations. An Luka proved that he got that ability after beating Suns the way he did, meanwhile Booker didn’t deliver in such moments. He crumbled after Giannis and Luka put pressure on him and his team.
i never even saw the Kobe comparisons to be that accurate . To me all he has similar is Kobe’s Shot Creation but You would need to combine that with Zach Lavine Athleticism/Flair and Jimmy Butlers Defense to get Kobe. That’s how good he was , Devin is closer to being Brandon Roy if BRoy never got hurt
Ehhh Respect Brandon roy
@@karma_v2977 tbh that’s a great comparison ngl
Exactly you have to have the defense to be compared to Kobe.
Booker is turning into the Drake of the nba
I think KD holds that title, but Booker is a contender
He's a great player the thing sucks about him is the attitude.
I love luka face when he looks at booker it hilarious
Get a life
That is a funny picture despite me being a Booker supporter, I’ll be honest. Luka different for that shit just straight grinning bruh🤣😭
Devin Booger... he's hated because he's too arrogant and bratty given how much he's actually accomplished in this league.
Has as many rings and MVPs as I do but talks like he's MJ level
That’s the main issue people have with him. Not that he talks.
I feel like teams from other leagues or countries are going to beat NBA teams more often because of how many other countries are building high quality basketball programs. we already see much more international players, in particular Europe and Africa
But but but, that won’t help the narrative of “Booker bad”!
21:40 bruh the way tooforwon says the most random shit kills me 😂
He brought this all on himself. Needed a slice of humble pie. Nice video.
“Everyone is tough when they are up”

will never understand people getting annoyed at nba players trash talking
It's soft AF lol. Alot of these dudes have never ran a court. I've got buddies who on the court I hate with a passion. Make the game more fun to me
Trashtalk when you are down or even with the other team/person, not when you are up because ypu are basically kicking someone when he is down. Thats why people are complaining
When I first saw the Raptors' mascot incident I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was like watching a 6 year old spoiled child. And that’s my opinion about Booker since then.
notice how he never actually compared himself to Kobe lol
He never dismissed it though and went along with the narrative
@@TheOnlyKontrol he's a grown ass man if he dont wanna feed into yall tryna make him something he not that's just what it is
@@y212ify I’m pretty sure you didn’t watch the video smart guy. It went from him agreeing with the narrative when he’s winning and acknowledging how he’s game is comparable to Kobe…then when he starts losing it’s like a switch flipped and he gets annoyed by the narrative and dismisses it.
Yes..but I did notice that he's cringe and has unhealthy obsession with Kobe
He never verbally, but he's obviously asking and enjoying it LMAO.
I come to TOOF for the laughs but I stay for his actually good takes!
grind on grind on
The raptors mascot is in the hall of fame, is devin Booker 🤔 there’s levels to this game 😂
Everyone is doing sports stories, no one is as unique as tooforwon
Thank you! That means a lot honestly
Difference between Kobe and Booker is that Kobe backed every single trash talk up.
W inefficient numbers
@@HELLO.THERE- I'd take 5 rings and 2 FMVPs with any numbers tbh.
I was fuming when that 6th foul on booker didn't get called
Randomly seeing Finney-Smith shoving Bullock to the floor is hilarious cause bro dived like he went for a loose ball 🤣☠️☠️☠️☠️
Booker is being compared to Kobe while doing complaining on things Kobe never would.
Do people really not remember kobe? He whined and complaimed more than any player ive ever seen. People hated him for it his entire career.
@@codyscards6698your a suns fan you clearly never watch Kobe Kobe never whine or complain and he hated because different reason but not he because of whine or complain because he never done any of that Kobe back it up with his game booker saying Luka special and got destroy lebron complain and whine more than any player I ever seen you don’t watch basketball and you clearly never watch Kobe because he never done that ever Kobe back it up with his game not whine or complain like booker or lebron u your favorite player booker can’t get it done against the bucks
@@dbz4735 ok guy relax before you you have a panic attack . I've watched basketball for 25 years and saw hundreds of kobe games. He bitched and complained EVERY SINGLE GAME. Kobe also cheated on his wife and may have assaulted a 19 year old hotel worker. Devin booker would never do that 🤔🤔🤔 haha
That clip with Joakim Noah in the open gym gets me everytime
Lol Why are people putting Booker and Luka against each other all of a sudden? People act like Luka and the Mavericks won the championship or something
Cuz booker talked mad shit during the series (including about luka himself "the luka special") and then didnt even win it. And not only did he lose, he got absolutely destroyed and embarrassed on an all time level.
Short memory huh
@@diablejambe3460 and then luka got smoked... If luka wasn't white he'd be trae young
Booker one of the best players in the league. Everyone just hates greatnes.
man that espn theme. they replace that iconic theme for that really mid one. havent played 2k in years but that dbook cover and promo and be legendary is cringe. luka really went full jordan on the suns that even now luka still probably lives rent free on d book head. also expected but still wild that jokic is a 2x mvp but not even a mention by 2k about him.
I think that last part is due to 2K being based in US (I think?) but you're right. Huge disconnect to not put guys like Jokic, Giannis & Embiid. Luka is the only one I've seen on a cover
I got quadruple teamed during runs and I didn't even complain. That's the biggest compliment I have gotten in my entire life 😂😂 i be saying "Thank you" not "im trying to work on my game, give me a single"

He’s not overrated by anyone 😂 and it was 70 not 70 plus, that was 7 years ago, he’s hated by just about everyone but suns fan
The fact that people are still making hate comments about dbook while the dillon brooks hate is pretty much over is insane, dbook hate is undeserved
I love your vids and been binge watching for the last month and a half it feels like
Also the whole Kobe and devin booker thing with the finals everyone talking about how he had that impact on him but no one ever talks about Giannis and his relationship with Kobe lmfao
Giannis isn't an SG and they don't really have similar play styles which might be part of it, plus Giannis doesn't wear Kobe shirts or make ads with Kobe in them or whatever else
Thank you for covering the stories from the sabonis trade to the luka special, siakim as well, wish i could say more but thank you for content
Kobe was asked what he'd do if he gets doubled, his answer :"Y'all better send another one" .
The suns won game 5 the mavs were never up 3-2 did people watch the series cuz people keep saying the mavs led 3-2 no they do not the suns won game 5 then lost 6 and got absolutely kill in game 7 I’m just wondering how people forgot this luka said the everyone acting tough when their up after they lost game 5
Luka turn suoer syian and no turning back
13:30 I don’t think PG had a problem with the foul I think he had a problem with Booker not being a good sport after the foul. PG got up and tried to show Book it was no hard feelings after the play but Book kind dismissed it and held his arm and PG took exception to that. Book likes to do sneaky shit tbh
y’all are falling into his trap now, wasnt kobe heavily criticized early on for playoff shortcomings?
Yea but these casuals aren't very bright
Yes just the video I needed 😂😂
I was thinking bout you lowkey 😎
Lets not forget that luka and booker are the first father son duo to be featured on the cover of nba 2k

A lot of this hate is just weird man. You best believe I’m talking after wining my first playoff series if I drop 47. Damn y’all soft
U can’t even spell “winning”
When I get doubled at the gym it always brightens my day, 'they scared' I think right before I say some stupid stuff like, "Nah you boys better bring three or four." And get my dumbself locked up.
Still feels good though. Can't imagine being at Booker's level crying about that.
rise and fall of a career he's just getting started i agree with some of the comments of this video your calling him out fo no reason Draymond greens on court antics are the same way players get on peoples nerves but he worked to get into the NBA give him his credit
Fair points made! Booker is no slouch. Might be the best SG in the league rn. I know roasting him is a bit much & over the top hating, and I'll be ready to eat my words if he bounces back in the playoffs
Cool video v smart & love way u put it together unbelievable love it keep doing yr thing 😂😂
congratulations to lebron for being better off than the average guy 🫠
Shout out to him, but even he knows he shouldn't have made those comments. He was clearly hurt & that's the same feeling Booker must've had after the preseason game
Enough of the Lebron sucking up.

I don't hate Booker. I Hate the Media. Simple and short
Career going down? C'mon man, the kid just starting to peak! 😄
I love how everyone hates this dude. Most have absolutely 0 reason too and honestly you really didn’t bring up any good points in this video. How about you do a video that shows how Booker completely turned this organization around and turned them into one of the best teams in the league? Lmfao. Keep hating though.
I really don’t like Devin Booker for most of the reasons you pointed out, but with the kobe comparisons, i gotta admit, most of it isn’t his fault. If people compared me to my idol, I’d feel pretty good about it. Some of the stuff he says is really corny, but the media is the one shoving it down our throats. It definitely doesn’t help his case, but i don’t really blame him for that
They stopped making that comparison
Every year there's a once in a lifetime player.
Keep up the great vids brother 🔥🔥
Thanks! Will do!
Now this is a great video idea 😂
Thanks 😅 glad you liked it. This is hands down one of my favorite vids
I think people get so caught up in his talk that they aren’t able to understand the art of his game. Book knows everyone hates him, but he cares more what players like Kobe think of him.
Players like Kobe wouldn’t cry about double teams and mascots

Very Cringe
I think a couple of these points are you dogpiling on Booker a bit too much. I don’t like him but like smiling at Kobe’s jersey in a preseason game… don’t really see the problem with that and think it’s unfair to say it’s his fault for the Kobe comparisons just for showing love to his idle in a situation like that
Don’t get me wrong though another banger video just found myself disagreeing with some of it

You can tell a lot of bitterness and trend following inspired this video. There’s players that’s done way worse shit than this man and don’t receiver near as much slander lmao.
Sure players have done worse shot but booker is a diva that gets compared to Kobe all the time and does and says immature shit that kobe never would.
@@colin6603 examples?
@@5.kc.5 got a mascot kicked outta a game
This is a helluva reach. Why does everyone hate him exactly? Still can’t tell after this waste of a time. Also, if you did your research, that pickup game is way overblown- no one else got doubled that day. The PROS were all there to practice their game, not get doubled. No one else got doubled, and Joakim Noah was just being Jo trying to talk trash. It came outta nowhere that’s why he was annoyed. Didn’t happen again after that either the entire day. Just so happened to be caught on video and then everyone lost their minds over something trivial at best.
Before Chris Paul got to the suns they weren’t even making the playoffs with DBook leading them. I dont think he’s a great player, he’s a very GOOD player but not great. I don’t think he has the true undeniable hunger to be like a kobe bryant. Most players dont have the burning desire to win at all cost while simultaneously working harder then the men around you. Thats why we dont see Kobes ,MJs and Tim duncans on the regular. Most of our stars today are grossly overrated when compared to the great. Most of these guys are TMacs , Steve Francis’, Allen Iversons , and Vince carters. Thats no slight to them but legends only come around every blue moon. So when they compare tatum and booker to Kobe its almost offensive .
Kobe was on a different level at the same age as DBook and JT. JT has the height and the Athleticism to kill defenders attacking the rim but he doesn’t drive to the cup as much he should. And that to me makes his game predictable and he’s not a dog like kobe.
DBook doesn’t have the athleticism or the height, nor the hunger, only the shooting stroke. Yeah he can have lights out games but he doesn’t have them when they matter. Hes choked way too much and his defense isn’t elite.Kobe was a top guard defender most of his career.That alone is unacceptable on Bookers part.
The laugh at "greatness". I'm ded.
ratio + dbook better
Only thing that didn't age well was the Jason Kidd take. Those people who were laughing at the start just knew something we didn't.
As a Mavs fan, seeing Luka turn it on like that was legendary. I know this is a Booker video but true stars shine brightest when it’s darkest out. Booker is not a star.
