    Hey molly tell steven what a beautiful moment it is he praising a young man… be as predictable as he is. Y’all make me laugh



  3. FRCN on June 12, 2021 at 7:14 pm

    The helpful rooster mathematically crash because industry encouragingly pat near a cluttered servant. bewildered, boring technician



  6. Top Back Podcast on June 12, 2021 at 7:15 pm

    C’mon Max. Devin Booker is most definitely their best scorer. But Chris Paul is the general on that squad and one of the main reasons they’re in the playoffs at a higher seed. CP is their best player



  7. Frank 5599 on June 12, 2021 at 7:16 pm

    Booker is not bonafide star player, at least not yet. His shooting is arguably one of the best in the league but his other attribute like shot making, defense, leadership, IQ etc… at best some like 1-2 are above average but the rest are average compared to other players which is not star player quality. Suns desperately needed CP’s leadership and IQ which I personally would give most credit too for their succes.

    The light-skinned wave is coming. Very soon 50% of the NBA will be light-skinned.



  9. Kaleb Hyshaw on June 12, 2021 at 7:18 pm

    Lakers honored Kobe lose 2-4 smh this is rigged



  10. AA 3037 on June 12, 2021 at 7:24 pm

  11. Pratesh Ramjohn on June 12, 2021 at 7:24 pm

    Booker is a star… He ain’t no superstar. Not yet. I’m not mildly interested in him and his activities as I would be with Luka or Zion.



  12. Dolmanian Sarchis on June 12, 2021 at 7:27 pm

    No he is noy



  13. ojoreakatheoj on June 12, 2021 at 7:32 pm

    Max Kellerman was a Kobe hater just like all of ESPN. Don’t forget it.

  21. Kobi Agu on June 12, 2021 at 7:40 pm

    Giannis, Jokic, Embiid: Superstar/ Mvp caliber
    Jayson Tatum and Luka: superstars
    Devin Booker and Donovan Mitchell: borderline superstars
    Trae Young, Zion, Ja Morant, Jamal Murray: Well on the way but not quite borderline yet
    Lamelo Ball: Also on the right path but needs more time



  22. Mr Gidney on June 12, 2021 at 7:40 pm

    Stop 🛑 Max. Maybe after some years in Devin may be able to be compare to Kobe, but he’ll never be Mamba.



  23. may Macih on June 12, 2021 at 7:41 pm

    “Devin booker is no Anthony Davis and he’s certainly no Lebron James” Devin Booker:



  31. Jake C on June 12, 2021 at 7:50 pm

    You think Booker was impressive now, wait till this next round. Denver’s backcourt will get destroyed by Book.



  32. mohamed said on June 12, 2021 at 7:51 pm

    Who’s better brooker or Mitchell



  33. Jimmy Kelly on June 12, 2021 at 7:51 pm

    makes no sense, says tatum isn’t superstar yet while booker is? tatum better at scoring at all 3 levels and is an elite defender not a liability like booker



  34. TopBreed Tevoo on June 12, 2021 at 7:52 pm

    But Devin Definitely a ⭐️ 💫



  35. David Bui on June 12, 2021 at 7:53 pm

  37. Chan on June 12, 2021 at 7:54 pm

    ESPN if Devin Booker wins the ring this year, "Devin booker should sign with LA Lakers. This will cement his legacy. He done all he can for the suns. He should go to the lakers.
    ESPN if Devin Booker doesn’t win this year, "Devin Booker will never win a ring with the Suns. He needs to join the Knicks. Only with the knicks can he win a ring."



  38. DYSK 1531 on June 12, 2021 at 7:55 pm

    he will never win a championship!



  39. Anthony Anthony on June 12, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    He will never be a Kobe for fucks sake



  40. Appreciate Nate on June 12, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    Max speaking facts. CP3 getting too much credit that’s causing DBook to go relatively unnoticed.



  41. Shelton Watt on June 12, 2021 at 7:59 pm

    "Devin Sent"
    whoever comes up with these at ESPN, get them a raise



  42. Boos LE on June 12, 2021 at 7:59 pm

  50. Urbain Delva on June 12, 2021 at 8:11 pm

    This series means that Booker just needed a chance to prove himself and he did in spectacular fashion. He has officially entered the superstar room.
