From the legacy he’s created in the desert to his literal jersey number, Devin Booker’s body of work leaves him reasonably described as a “one of one.” Though, with the Phoenix Suns’ history books opening its arms to him on February 3, 2025, becoming one among an exclusive 30-player group wasn’t too shabby, either. Zeroed in on a goal of ensuring Phoenix’s survival against the red-hot Portland Trail Blazers, Booker establishes camp along the weakside’s 3-point wing, subtly hoping to draw the attention of his post-focused big man. With well-aware teammates entering a celebratory rave before his catch-and-shoot launch even goes airborne, Booker smoothly elevates into a triple, collecting both points No. 15,668 of his career, and the No. 1 spot on the Suns’ all-time scoring leaderboard. To date, 526 different players had scored during 2024-25’s regular-season; ultimately earning a 13-minute tribute from NBA legends, both past and present, Booker left his contributions among the most memorable, even during an OT defeat. For Booker, the night concluded with 34 points, three rebounds, four assists, and noteworthy efficiency overall (9-of-18), from deep (three-of-eight), and from the charity stripe (13-of-14). · Feb 4, 2025
