Borderline criminal that he did not make the All-Star game.

Hard # stats, Chris Paul should be out.

But advanced stats say CP3 > Booker

“LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Steph Curry and Oscar Robertson.”

How many of those were on losing teams.

Not sure who you leave off in the west for Booker. Maybe Westbrook?

Westbrook would have been my answer. But it’s harder than it was a few weeks ago considering how good Russ has been.

You will get downvoted and talked to about "losing basketball" despite Booker posting great numbers on higher efficiency and being favored in advanced stats over other All-Stars. The reality is the Suns might be a 5 win team without Booker.

I would like to see Devin Booker, Trae Young, and Karl Anthony Towns one day form a superteam that loses 45 games a year.

Well he plays for an extremely irrelevant franchise. You only get respect in the NBA if you have a lot of fans and you’re on a popular team.

Advanced stats aren't always better stats

Michael Jordan wasn't on a winning team until they drafted Pippen. Didn't work out like you thought it would.

As does the eye test. Booker is an empty stats guy that plays zero defense. CP3 wins and controls games. Replace Booker with CP3 and Phoenix makes the playoffs.

Trae Young sending fellow All Stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid home with an L after a 39 pt 18 assists performance tonight.

It's amazing how some of you guys pretend to make statements like you're informed. Booker has taken a massive leap on the defensive end while continuing to improve at the other end. Look at the splits with him on/off the floor and see this team. He's a top five player in the league in clutch situations this year (5 point games with <5 mins). He's almost at 50/40/90.
