Booker and the Best

Ultimately two outcomes were clear; first Michael Jordan performed on a different planet than everyone else. At age 23, Jordan was coming off his injury-shortened second season and exploded on the scene averaging a league-leading and career-high 37.1 points per game – the most of any player considered in any season.

Second is that Devin Booker has a chance to be among the greats many years from now. If Booker can improve on the little things that lead to more of what he does best, shooting and passing the ball on offense, someone can be writing about how they compare to the superstar Devin Booker.

More importantly for Suns fans, it should mean more wins in the Phoenix Suns future. And that’s what really matters. If you look at Jordan, Iverson, Bryant, Harden, and Westbrook’s average win total it far exceeds that of Booker’s. That’s not all his fault, but if Booker is ever going to achieve notoriety for individual success, team success must come with it as well.
