"I'm the point guard, he’s the scorer."
-Devin Booker on Kevin Durant:
If Bradley Beal can step up and play well alongside them they can be very dangerous, big "If" though
This suns team is gonna add bradley beal to it as well id like to add
I love seeing videos based off the podcasts, so I can see examples of the plays.
Another great content as usual . I just finished listening to the pod . Goat content 🐐. Please do a passing video analysis on Haliburton 🙏🙏
durant is the ultimate plug and play player.
Does everything right just a BALLER.
He makes any team hes on a competitor.
They forget he was an inch away from stealing Giannis ring.
Kevin Durant will still fail to Win a Chip without Stephen Curry. 🐍. 🏀

What is happening with Beal?!
Beal was a 40% 3PT shooter as well before he became the first option on the bad Wizards team. These three are all great offball scorers.
I thought the four fingers is portraying Klay💀
How does Joker not have the highest release point? Gotta be top 3 right?
Keep in mind, we round up around here. So far this season Devin Booker is averaging 28pts 6rebs and over 8 assists. Shooting 47% fg, 39% 3pt, and 93% ft. All of those stats except fg% are a career high. He’s been one of the best PGs in the league this year
Timberwolves best in the league no vid is bias
Basketball offense is about generating gravity, stop overthinking this. There are multiple ways to create gravity on the court.
