Devin Booker led the Phoenix Suns to a win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night at the Moda Center. He has been heating up after his second consecutive 30-point night. After Booker's star turn, NBA fans began debating his rivalry with Luka Doncic about the better offensive player.
Booker finished with 34 points, six rebounds and seven assists without turnovers in the Suns' 127-116 victory. He went 1-for-6 from threes but was more efficient inside the arc. He shot 63.6% as Phoenix won their second straight game and seven of the last 10.
Bradley Beal contributed 23 points, four rebounds and five assists, while Kevin Durant had 21 points, five rebounds and six assists. The Blazers gave them a tough time in the fourth quarter, led by Scoot Henderson's 33-point effort at home.
Some Phoenix Suns fans began celebrating the win and praised Devin Booker for leading the team to victory. The Suns are starting to get their rhythm and have clawed back up the Western Conference.
Booker is a huge factor in Phoenix's quest for a championship, with one Suns fan calling him better than "fat" Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks.
"Better than fat Luka," the fan wrote.
Another Suns fan claimed that Booker is the best at his position and a better player than Paul George of the LA Clippers and Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics:
"Best shooting guard in the league. Clears PG and Tatum."
One fan is not impressed because it was against Portland:
It was the Blazers, relax."
Here are other memes and reactions on X to Booker-Luka comparisons after the Suns' win over the Blazers:
