Booker isn't getting the same love as CP3 for winning these games. CP3 was getting legit MVP love and when Booker is able to lead the Suns to wins at nearly the same percentage, it's crickets. Shame..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the stupid agenda driven era we are in. They want to give CP3 more love than he deserves, even though that is not necessary because he is great even without having to go over the top. CP3 has been amazing in the clutch but guess what? Booker has been just as good as him and does anyone ever talk about Booker being one of the best clutch players in the league? Nope....When CP3 got hurt and the Suns lost a game, I remember reading some stuff on how this shows that Booker can't carry this team and how he lost all those games before CP3 got there...Completely ignoring the fact that Booker played with STRAIGHT garbage supporting cast when he was like 20 and 21 years old. If people were giving CP3 top 5 MVP love, then do the same thing with Booker...PERIOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the kid is a ******* baby on the court and that has everything to do with one series so I'm admittedly jaded on him there. He's a good player but who gives a **** about NBA narratives? Just go out and win when it matters and those narratives die. He's just not an exciting nor personable player so he's not going to get shine. Just the reality of it.

I mean you think he is a baby off the Buck series? Cool, but it's not like that opinion is universal. This isn't even about Booker as much as it is about people pushing the narrative on CP3. They try to hold the early years against Booker by never acknowledging the cast around him. No doubt CP3 wins wherever he goes and deserves a lot of credit...But it's just over the top here lol. Booker's peers have a lot of respect for him though and his game is nice to watch. He's a skilled operator that is getting better and better. Saying all that, if Steph is healthy come playoff time, Booker will have to wait to get back in the finals lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not marketable because he's impersonable and unexciting on the court. It's the same reason why Khris Middleton is unheralded by the masses. Both play smooth games but they both have dry af personalities lol. There's no pluses to be had by pushing those types of guys if you're in the media.

Okay, but it's not just about Booker or Middleton not being personable...Forget that about a second...The narrative is surrounded around CP3 and Booker being diminished because of that. Those folks that push the CP3 MVP narrative will intentionally ignore Booker's play or that he is doing the same exact thing CP3 was doing when Booker was out for a few weeks. And you damn well know if no one will talk up Middleton, I WILL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP3's ALWAYS going to take the shine away from Book. I mean, we're talking about someone that people consider a top 3 PG of all-time against a kid that probably isn't even a top 15-20 SG of all-time in the end. Welcome to the idiocy of the masses. Ignore NBA Twitter and media narratives and just roll with what you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows his playoff history and some of his failures and blown leads so they are trying to overlook those and continue to push the agenda to wash away the past. Lawd if the Suns had won last year it would have been MISERABLE...You know some would even start arguing CP3>Curry all time just off one ring.

Nonsense. PG was playing at MVP levels before he went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
