Devin Booker Reacts to Kevin Durant Trade to Phoenix Suns
No one in the NBA can truly believe that Kevin Durant is a Phoenix Sun yet, not even Devin Booker. Booker spoke to the media today, expressing his first-time reaction to having Kevin Durant as his teammate
"You can't put it into words," Booker said. "It's just all feeling. Looking forward to post All-Star break, when we actually get the chance to compete with each other. I've never gotten the chance to do that besides the Olympics. It's exciting times around here.
Kevin Durant is the greatest player Devin Booker has ever gotten the opportunity to play with. While he's played with a great player like Chris Paul, Kevin Durant is on a different level, and it's a feeling he can't quite explain.
"It's something you've got to be around. It's a feeling when you're around greatness," Booker said. "When you're around one of the best to ever do it. It's a different look. It's a different feel. Kinda hard to put to words, but I'm excited to be a part of it."
Lost in all of the shuffle is that Devin Booker was also getting reunited with former teammate T.J. Warren as well. The two remained close despite Warren getting traded from the Suns in 2019.
"It feels really good, Tony is somebody that was here my rookie year," Booker said. "He was one of the last ones on the team before he got traded from that first initial group that was here. We've always kept in contact. I always say it's bigger than just basketball."
It'll still be some time before we see Kevin Durant in a Phoenix Suns jersey with Devin Booker. Until then, we'll all have a hard time believing that it's real - even Devin Booker.
