Before last season, Dwon Booker, one of the most impressive impressions he left on the outside world was that he was the boyfriend of kendal Jenna, a well-known supermodel and top American celebrity, and the other was that he was the youngest Mr. 70 points in the NBA history. Since entering the NBA in 2015, Dwon Booker has been the boss of the Phoenix Suns, but Booker has not been able to prove his ability to lead the team, and the Suns have not made the playoffs for many years.
The arrival of Chris Paul last season allowed the Suns to achieve a salted fish turnover and let everyone re-recognize Booker. Last season, the Suns were able to eliminate the Lakers, Nuggets, clippers three Western Conference powerhouses in a row to advance to the Finals, Paul can be said to be the greatest, but Booker's performance is also amazing. Booker, who played in the playoffs for the first time, did not show any stage fright, playing in 22 games, averaging 27.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and also had 40+ performances in four single games, two of which were in the Finals. This also can't help fans exclaim that this is the second Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately, the Suns were unable to beat the Bucks to win the championship, and Kenda janna's plan to have a baby for Booker fell through.
This season, the Suns are making a comeback. They currently have a record of 27 wins and 7 losses, and are seen as strong contenders for this season's championship, along with the warriors, who are no. 1 in the league. On December 30, during the Suns' game against the Thunder, Booker slashed 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks on 12-of-24 shooting, leading the team to victory while unlocking career totals of more than 10,000 points and shooting 800 three-pointers. And all of this was his achievement before the age of 26, so he became the third player after James and Durant to score 10,000 points and shoot 800 three-pointers before the age of 26, which even his idol Kobe Bryant has never done.
This season, Booker averaged 23.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1 steal per game, and although the average points and shooting percentage per game were slightly lower than last season, the average rebounds and assists per game improved compared to last season. And in terms of three-pointers, Booker can be said to have made visible progress with the naked eye. Booker shot just 34 percent from three-point range last season, and this season he's made him the league's top shooter with 42.8 percent three-point shooting.
As Kobe's disciple, Booker is also frequently compared to Kobe. Both are also point guards, have similar heights, are also selected with the 13th pick, and have become famous at a young age, and their scoring ability has exploded. The difference is that Before the age of 26, Kobe Bryant was already a league superstar with three consecutive championships and entered the double team many times. Booker is still empty-handed, and has not even been selected for the best team. To inherit Bryant's mantle, what Booker needs to do most at the moment is to improve his defensive ability, because Black Mamba is not only bloodthirsty in attack, he is also suffocating on the defensive end. If Booker can improve his defensive ability to Kobe's level, I believe his first championship will not be far away.
