Many have called Devin Booker an heir to Kobe Bryant’s throne, and his game makes it very easy to see why.
Booker, who looked up to the Mamba as a kid, grew into a frame nearly identical to that of his idol’s. Exactly like Bryant as well, Booker stands at six-foot-six in shoes, and also weighs only one more pound than than him.
But beyond these physical resemblances, and of course their shared position, Booker also mirrors Bryant by displaying a similar bag of tricks on the court and a Mamba-like focus.
