Devin Booker: We were probably the laughing stock of the NBA about 4-5 years ago
Kellan Olson: Devin Booker: “We were probably the laughing stock of the NBA about 4-5 years ago and just turning that around to something serious, to championships contenders, is a quick turnaround for us. We take a lot of pride in what we’ve built here. For this to be a destination that Kev wanted to come to is a big sign of that, to show respect of what we’ve done so far. We still have more to do but we’re moving in the right direction.”

By not playing tonight, Jayson Tatum is down to five games left before turning 25.
He’ll have to average 28.2 points/game to pass Giannis for 7th on this list.
He’d now need 39.0 per game to pass Devin Booker for 6th. pic.twitter.com/uPsmUa4bSa – 4:58 PM

We know it’s not going to be easy to get there, but we feel we have the talent, we have the mindset.” -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / February 14, 2023
