When he is in the zone it's very hard to stop him.

Disrespectful to Booker I think. We can't tell how great Booker is but he's like top 10 all-time best offensive player good right now. It's just disguised by chris Paul and ayton, mostly Paul's presence.

23-24 years is right when a player hits his peak though, so I think Paul was just lucky to play with peak Booker. It does help a scorer like Booker to have a floor manager though. Booker put up 25/5/5 on a 65 win team. That's usually automatic MVP but the league is so stacked.

Allan Houston was a poor man's Reggie Miller, and Reggie Miller was a poor man's Devin Booker. That's the extent of the quality of 90s perimeter players. :roll:

Not at all he just came up in the hardest defensive era ever. Booker wouldn't be foing this in the 90's-2000's for obvious reasons.

Most Knicks fans did not like Allan Houston but can't deny he had one of the, if not clutchest shot in their history. Imagine an 8th seed hitting a game winner to advance :pimp:

Sure looked It that night. Eliminating your washed up ass when Chris Paul was giving him 5 points a game, you should be ashamed of yourself.
