Suns vs Hawks in the finals like Suns in 6 but if it’s Suns vs Milwaukee like Suns in 7 but Suns in 6 if Giannis isn’t healthy or isn’t playing in the finals.

Can we all agree that Pat Beverly doesn’t understand what defence is, he just decides that when he doesn’t have the ball, the sport he chooses to play is Wrestling?

Stop comparing this man to kobe. He’s the first Booker not the next anybody

They acting as if he resembles Kobe in a a way Kobe resembled MJ. I just don’t see it tho. Donovan and D Wade comparison is crazy too

@DatBoy Joc i know. I don’t think these young guys like to be compared to these players anyway. They want to make a name for themselves not follow in the footsteps of retired players

I’m probably jumping the gun here, but I believe that this NBA Finals is for the Phoenix Suns to win. From what I’ve seen, they’re the most complete and deepest team remaining in these playoffs. They have talented players at every position, everyone knows their role and helps each other out. Plus, an All-Star caliber coach.
Steve Nash wishes he was in this position as a Phoenix Sun.

To note, the potential remaining teams fighting for this year’s championship are mid-market teams, with young homegrown talent and veteran leadership.
Recipe for success?

No. Unprecedented injuries are the recipe for success.

Not like every year, but okay. Had at least 9 injured all stars in this playoffs, franchise players. Please tell remind me again how that happens every year 🤔

Imagine if Kobe was alive then Booker won a chip and started Facetiming Kobe and saying “Dude, it worked! Your advice worked!” lol

Now this reminds me of MJ and Bean. A storyline that will stand the test of time when the suns win that chip!!

He’s just gotta get more serious defensively while maintaining that offense to be Kobe-esque

Devin will have a 30-8-8 averages to win Finals MVP… Book it.

For some reason I have no doubt that Kobe’s expectation for Booker was to be just as if not better than him…. Just wish we could hear what he would say about him now😢R.I.P MAMBA
