What RM said.
All those guys.
Kobe, T mac, AI, Wade. Infinitely better. Not even close.
Booker hasn't even sniffed the playoffs.
Relax.

Oh, just noticed JJ said guard. Although technically, LeBron can play any position.

Booker is a loser, never been anything but a bottom dweller with 30 wins or played more than 60 games

To be fair, Booker's games have been limited this year due to tanking with Phoenix looking for any excuse to sit him. That in itself speaks volumes regarding how highly they regard Booker, Suns are scared they may win if he plays.
Let's see how he does in future years if he has a few better teammates.

To be fair, how did they get there to begin with? Booker was given free reign this year to start the season in a James harden role and they couldn't get 10 wins by xmas
He's been the go to guy in phx since he was drafted and they have been worse than the Knicks every single one of those seasons
That speaks volumes

He's a slower, softer and worse version of klay Thompson. Just another Kevin love

James Harden Lite.
Ball dominant hogs will put up numbers at the expense of the team. Last time I checked basketball was a team game. We're not playing chess here. I can't stress enough how this makes Lebron such a flawless player. He can do it all and he even prides himself on passing the rock to his teammates.
One thing I will say about Booker: He's really good looking/cute. Can see endorsements starting to roll in as he gets more popular.

Yup. Individual achievement guy. Proven it over and over. Fukkin` snowflake.
ONLY way I would want him on my team is in a Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson role off the bench.

Great shooter/ scorer, great defender (when he wants to be), but not so great in the pick & roll -which is crucial for a lead guard. Erratic player.

I didn't even bring up the fact that he's a walking band aid with Swiss cheese defense
The guy hasn't had more than 25 wins his entire career as the "go to" player and he's crying to the refs for charity and hand outs on every single play as if he's earned it
He's a loser plain and simple to any naked eye can see. Hilarious how these boxscore guys that can't see their feet past their tummies are calling this guy a great

Hey dumbass, bring yourself and the real JJ to NYC anytime. I'll break every bone on the left side of your face until you can't speak Tagalog for 6 months

But who else do they have? Ayton is a rookie. Best player after that is... TJ Warren? Plus they didn't have a point guard. You can be the best player in the world and still won't amount to anything if you don't have some kind of supporting cast of decent players

They are a lot better now Johnson and Oubre good pickups, Josh Jackson will be a good player eventually. Warren ok but just a scorer, Jabari Parker type loser.

A lot of people thought Jackson would eventually be the best player out of the '17 draft. He's a knucklehead. Blames others for his failure to develop. Can't shoot, can't pass. Yuck. Warren is a bonafide star, much different to Parker imo.

Nba easiest sport to put up numbers on a $#!+ team. Look at Kevin Love's numbers when he played for a loser vs a contender. All of his stats plummeted.

We're talking regular season wins, you're using a championship or playoff argument and applying it incorrectly
If Booker wasn't a chump pump chucker then he'd have at least 1 or 2 40 win REGULAR SEASONS
Didn't even bridge the gap for playoff win argument yet and it's already over

Tonight is a good place to start taking the suns on the ML. They have a few winnable home stands in the next week and they are enough losses where their lottery balls won't make a significant difference with the new draft rules in place

I wasn't talking about playoffs. You're crazy if you think anyone can lead that roster to 40 wins. Forget the fact that management doesn't want to win and proved this by forcing Booker to be rested down the stretch last year. Maybe Lebron could but I doubt that too. Just not possible in modern NBA.

Booker is more explosive than Iverson, Wade and Bryant? LMAO. Bryant was doing 360 windmill dunks in games. Explosiveness? LMAO. Wade dunked on ppl left and right and blew by defenders. Iverson was the fastest player in the world.
Booker has a nice jump shot. LOL. You're a fukkin moron Gold. I win again. DIck slap you.
