I don't think Jokic will be suspended but players have been suspended for less. In 2007 the league office didn't care about tipping the scales and suspended Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw for a critical game 5 that cost the Suns the series against the Spurs and quite possibly the championship for the crime of taking two steps off of the bench.
Top players today: Booker, Curry, KD, Joel , Jimmy, Kahwi, Joker, Jason T, AD (when he decides to play), Giannis.
Perkins laugh💀💀
What about Bernard King's run to the Eastern conference finals?
Windy blink a lot
Hate 2 b that guy …,,but if Draymond pushes that man y’all wouldn’t b so understanding….ijs,, but carry on tho….
Jokic is by himself star wise. Booker is amazing and now has KD.
I'm not a basketball historian, but I'm pretty sure Jordan never did what Booker did in these last 2 games. Don't talk to me about 63 points on 22-41 shooting and don't tell me efficiency doesn't matter. Booker is in a class by himself right now. Bookeresque, more like it.
If Phoenix loses it will be Monte Williams' fault.
Is Brian a former athlete or something ?
No Stephen A. Devin Booker needs to be drug tested! I mean it. Before game 3 and game 4… I said DBook is the first player I have EVER actually thought was using some performance enhancement (maybe Adderall) You can imagine how I feel AFTER game 3 and 4. I have never felt this way about any player before.
everyone acting like Jokic can just grab the ball and inbound it without a ref handing it to him first.. Suns player was down in the crowd the refs wasn't gonna just start play with that player knocked into the stands on a dead ball.
Guys… Devin Booker is probably the first player we've ever seen be high on drugs during the playoffs.
Yea but the NBA is going by track record, like Draymond i believe Jokic has one. So suspended him, Suns win!
Suspend Joker. Amare and Diaw were suspended 1 game for leaving the bench. They didn't even touch anybody.
And why yall didnt defend Draymond like Jokic.
2:45 no one ever remembers Dirk's magical run 😞
Funny how Jordan isn't the GOAT according to some, yet whenever a current player does something amazing, MJ's name somehow comes up.
Perk giving this praise for DBOOK. Everyone is. Yes its the best offense any of us have ever seen. I'm telling y'all drug test him. Adderall or another stimulant is all you need to give yourself and unhuman advantage in sports (confidence) Yes, its the best offense we've ever seen. I'm telling y'all I know what I see.
Booker is better than KD.
If this was draymond green or Dillon brooks , y’all would say he has to be suspended.. this is a joke!
Suns don't need CP3 anymore
Screaming A Smith now saying about Devon Booker what a few years ago he was saying about Bradley Beal.
GREAT JOB BRIAN ON MVP DEVIN BOOKER
THANKS PERK FOR PRAISING MVP BOOKER
