The late, great Rodney Dangerfield used to joke in his bits all the time that he “doesn’t get no respect.” His catskills humor was one of a kind, and yet it resonated with millions around the world – something that Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker would certainly appreciate today.
Devin Booker is only 22-years-old and yet has accomplished more than 95% of NBA players in the history of the league to date on an individual level.
Scoring 70 points in a single game, scoring over 50+ multiple times, his total accumulation of points at his age that is only surpassed by a handful of players led by names like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony; and yet, because the franchise who drafted him has been ran by a number of complete basketball numbskulls, his stats are called “empty” by fans and talking heads alike around the league, and the only credit he gets nationally is for off-the-court work (which is of course very much worth the credit).
