This has been Booker for the last 4 or 5 years. Why would anyone be surprised lmao.

So hot right now? Checks standings. Sitting 7th in the west, on a one game winning streak, 5-5 in last 10.

Not getting talked about is a good thing. Ask Banchero.

the Suns are so hot right now

What? We are delightfully average.

I like Booker, but he’s kinda doing what he always does numbers wise and isn’t having a crazy year efficiency wise. This is his worst shooting year since his 3rd year in the league going off of all his percentages pretty much. Obviously, he’s putting up better numbers than other seasons, but not really anything we don’t see year after year from him

They’re a middle of the road team, what is there to talk about. We know booker is good, it’s not like a coming out party or something

A single Booker moment? Game winner against OKC lol it was such an insane shot.

The Booker hype train died after the 2022 playoffs against Luka. The league is always chasing for the next shining thing. Booker got embarassed and the league moved on and he lost the spotlight.

Genuinely convinced most of the people on this sub hate the NBA given majority of the the responses here are shitting on a very good NBA player.

unfortunately the fans don’t really care for Book like that

I remember when entirety of reddit wrote off the Suns this year but Book and Suns have prevailed. They deserve some credit

Everyone in here is stupid as fuck talking about first option. News flash, he went to the finals as a first option already

26-4-6 is not that great in the stat inflated era

Midrange king. ESPN isn’t going to run a clip of him hitting 8 mid range jumpers when they can show Steph pulling up from 28 feet out. His game isn’t “viral moment” worthy so he never gets covered.

And he’s loyal to Phoenix so no drama year after year to manufacture like with other star players.

Real ball knowers understand how good of a player he is.

He hit that game winner on the thunder I think? That was a big one

he hit the game winner on the thunder, still stings a bit tbh

He made the all star team. There’s nothing to talk about he’s not in the mvp race. Maybe if the Suns can get out of the first round of playoffs we’ll start talking about him.

Most underrated player of his generation.

Goes out and plays both ends every night, doesn’t flop, doesn’t fuck with refs, no an ego player and showed it the most in Team USA.

Wish he could have an actual team some day.

Feels like we’re taking crazy pills

is it me or is booker a bit of a boring player

like u see it at the end of the game
“oh wow booker has 32 points”
but u can never remember them.

can u remember a single booker point ?

but try joker…u can see the flick
i remember a joker flick.

Are the Suns hot right now? They’re 5-5 in their last 10 games and 12-13 since the All-Star game. Not really streaking like the Rockets or the Hawks.

He may be hot but he’s not as hot as Hansel.

I wonder what his career points will end up as. He’s been more silent than most stars in just piling on points for years, elite scorer. Definitely underrated at this point in our generation!

Because he’ll shoot 60% one game and 25% the next. Super inconsistent this season, and has seemingly forgotten how to shoot 3s. Hard to get a narrative going when you don’t have rhythm. 

He’s having a down year? He’s been pretty down for the majority of the year. He’s not even his efficient self.

30 points in 5 of his last 6

game winner vs okc brah

He just fell off. His peak ran from 2021 to 2023, but once he started wearing that headband - and with KD and Beal both on the Suns - his game and efficiency got completely lost in the shuffle.

He’s a good player, but not a superstar. He’s scoring lots of points while shooting 45.6/33/87, essentially any efficiency he has is due to a career high in FTs which is not something most people are gonna get excited about. He’s an average defender at BEST, and his playmaking is down from last year. He’s the best player on a surprise team but its not because he’s stepped up, but because of a team effort.

Been this way his whole career

Devin Booker is the Jared Goff of the NBA. He’s been good for a while now but he’s not super flashy so when the team is really successful someone else gets more credit.

Because SGA, Wemby, and Jokic exist.

This has always been the case. There have always been full and burgeoning super stars who kinda get looked over because player or players x,y,z.

Also Durant took away some of his momentum.

In this day and age, 25/5/5 is an all star, not a superstar.

He’s just alright top 20 player but not top 10. 3 point percentage leaves a lot to be desired

He’s your favorite player’s favorite player. The media doesn’t care so much for scoring guards.

He’s having a good season for a team that has played really well outside of his minutes. The Suns would be worse without him for sure, but he’s not driving the success either the way other stars do. Plus, while the Suns are a great story this year, the are the 7th seed so it’s not like people should be losing their minds.

He’s averaging slightly lower than his usual counting numbers and the Suns are absolutely not hot right now. They’ve spent the past month beating tanking teams and losing to everyone else.

Unless he’s scoring 70 in a game again, there’s not really anything interesting to talk about.

26 these days is not much

He had that big game winner against the Thunder over Lu and AC. That was certainly a moment.

No, I’m not still salty about it. Why do you ask?

It’s a combination of him being on a team that is destined to get clobbered in the 1st round if they make it there in the first place and those numbers not being that high in the last few seasons. 26/4/6 is considered just above average when compared to the best players in the league. He’s a good player, but he’s asked to do too much in a position that isn’t suited for him, so he’s basically just stuck in purgatory. Hopefully Phoenix can make some moves in the next few off-seasons, so Devin can have some more Playoffs success before he gets into that 30+ years old career era.

He’s not an MVP candidate, he’s not having a drastically better year than normal, he’s not young and improving, and his team isn’t a championship contender. There’s not a not to talk about.

I mean what’s there to talk about? His team is mid and he’s having a mid year for his standards. He’s also not going to win any awards.

So 5-5 in the Suns last 10 games is hot?

I remember Booker hitting the game winner against OKC in early January.

Tough shot over Caruso

He is 1 of 32 people averaging over 20 PPG and he is 9th highest

63 games of at least 20 minutes each?

he’s a rough rider dudes a fucking dog has brought toughness to the suns all the teams he’s left have been weak. When bron retires the leagues gona get more goons fuck all this lets be buddies shit get in their ass

He’s also not eligible for all nba. Hes boderline on the 65 game mark but he didn’t reach the minimum minutes in a few of those games

So hot huh

I was thinking about him the other day, I thought he was injured with the lack of talk about him

Booker “moment”??? This is what I hate about you guys, always chasing the highlight reels. Just watch a game bro

A la gente no le cae muy bien Book, y es verdad que no ha tenido casi nunca un equipo decente. Creo que juntarlo con Kd le vino muy mal.

I’m sorry. Is 63 games good now?

Superstar? No.

Book is that you?

The latter

26-4-6? That’s not enough to get talked about in 2026

The NBA has too many talented players for everybody too be in the spotlight. In past seasons Donovan Mitchell’s current season would be an MVP year but hes so far from MVP in this modern NBA.

he’s an allstar. Perennial all star. But he isn’t anywhere near the level of the MVP candidates this year.

Bc theres nothing to talk about…

Idk good question! I feel like the team itself ain’t worth mentioning now, don’t get me wrong they in the play but it’s just some reason Booker need a solid backup

Throwing up a Demar Derozen season makes you a “Superstar” I guess

He’s too consistent.

I feel like there’s just a bunch of guys anymore who are 26/5/5 guys and it’s just hard to stand out with some of the ridiculous stat lines on awesome efficiency we see these days.

Because the Suns aren’t considered real contenders. That’s the main reason

Owner is the new face of the franchise

He’s less efficient Austin Reaves. What’s there to talk about?

Like Hansel got me

He’s been good but 45% from the field. For him, it’s not that noteworthy. Suns “success” has been a whole team effort

Worthless numbers

Bc his team never gets far into playoffs, if at all

He’s on the downturn on his career. Still effective and absolutely a star, but the Suns isn’t exactly thriving right now

He’s paid max but is a borderline all-star, so he’s overvalued, he’s not a two player and his shooting is inefficient !

26-4-6 isn’t impressive in the NBA.

It’s literally never been easier to score in the NBA than it is right now, but it’s also never been easier to collect assists. The Curry legacy, counting starts are ruined, lol.

Because he loses

Suns so hot right now? These bois blew a 21 point lead to Houston to lose by double digits.

Devin booker good. Dillion Brooks just walks into 3s like he Stephen curry but bricks them

He’s not a super star

They would’ve lost the Mavs at home last night if they didn’t tank the last 4 mins

What do you want people to talk about? That’s pretty average numbers for a star and they are 5-5 in their last 10

But why male models?

Mediocre teams that play late night West coast games get ignored pretty easily.

The Suns aren’t hot at all besides their name lmao

OP with the thanksgiving ham level glaze. “So hot right now” 

Next season when he gets to 20K career points everyone will be like how is that possible I feel like he just got into the league.

but why male models?

Devin Booker was DEAD 👐 and now he is THE HOTTEST player in the country! 👉👈

I would not say that too many NBA players in general are talked about on this website lol. It’s mostly very focused on the same 10 or so names all the time, and “ranking” them (never disclosing, on what exactly they are “ranked”. They just are, better or worse, at something).

Upvote for the Hansel reference

No one respects the Suns.

Hansel… so hot right now

Because he’s stuck in Phoenix. A great player on a medium team doesn’t make too many headlines in this era of clickbait titles & overreaction videos. No one is talking about Portland, Orlando or Miami either and they’re all play-in teams. They’re not contenders. Even Bam’s huge scoring game came & went with a lot of the talk downplaying what he did.

Booker isn’t a superstar

TBH only watch the Suns if they’re playing the Griz
