Dbook’s carrier high is 70 points
Yo, Booker is no doubt a beast, but lets not forget this is a Clippers team without pg and Kawhi… Comparing Booker's round 1 performance with Jimmy's is crazy.
What a game by Dbook 💥💯
HES INSANE
It's funny to imagine dropping someone like booker in the 90s . His offensive skill set would be confusing to people. He'd be so clearly from the future. Obviously kd too but booker is so much less imposing physically.
Respect🍿🏀🍹
He’s plying like an actual mvp
DB！👏👏
What do you mean career high tying, his career high is 70
Glad the description said playoff career high I was like this man's has dropped 70 before someone put some respect on his name
Booker and Tatum are on the same level whether people wanna acknowledge it or not lmao.
Devin Booker is him.
Definitely good work
He dropped 70 before🎉
DBOOK MVP 🏆
kobe booker
Real test is Denver next…
You mean DevHIM Booker!
congrats to the suns but they had KD and clips had no pg or kawhi. we expected them to win
People really thought that Tatum was better than Booker & Brown 😂
I love the way book plays
Talk all the sht you want you have to put respect on bookers name…dude is a straight shooter
Elite
Careen high?? You guys forgot the 71pts perfomance
Kd shifting gravity . I love it
wdym career high he’s at 70 before
These are stats comparing Devin Booker with Kobe Bryant in their 8th seasons in the NBA. Majority of stats are before the KD trade.
Player FG% 3P% 2P% FT% RB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS
Booker .494 .351 .554 .855 4.5 5.5 1.0 0.3 2.7 3.0 27.8
Kobe .438 .327 .463 ..852 5.5 5.1 1.7 0.4 2.6 2.7 24.0
The playoff comparison goes way more in Bookers favor, but with only 5 games played for Booker to 22 played for Bryant in his 8th postseason, I will hold off until I have a larger sample size before I compare them. Right now, in their 8th year postseason, Booker leads Kobe in every major statistic. The one area where Kobe surprisingly leads Booker is in minutes played! Kobe played 44.3 to Bookers 43.3 minutes per game. So much for too many minutes.
☝🏽 Devin Booker aka Brown Mamba ☝🏽
🟣🏀GO SUNS🏀🟣
Wait isn't his career high 70?? Oh his playoff career high my bad lmao
didnt he score 71 as a rookie?
Durant's presence has really opened things up for Booker. It's like who do you guard
His career high is 70 not 47

Mamba Mentality!!!
D .booker he is one bad boy
Book and KD is everything Luka and Kyrie want to be.
It’s so beautiful watching him play you learn so much
idk why but I can see this becoming a problem for Kd and i ain’t even tryna shit on KD.. Book had a hot night hopefully he’ll be willing to differ most nights because although D Book is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 He ain’t the Slim Reaper
