Devin Booker is turning 22 next week. Yes, he’s only 21 years old and has already had some jaw dropping performances on the court. Most notably his 70-point game in 2016 that put him on a list of NBA greats including Wilt Chamberlain, David Robinson, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor and Kobe Bryant as the only players to reach 70 in one game.
He was only 20 at the time but we already knew he was something special. He even started drawing comparisons to Kobe Bryant.
“It’s exciting,” Booker said of the Kobe comparisons.
