Book gifts Marion his own PE sneakers



Don’t think this has been posted here yet. Before the Knicks game, Booker was spotted warming up in the incredibly rare Shawn Marion player exclusive Air Jordan 5 with Marion’s 31 stitched on the side. Last seen on PJ Tucker’s feet in 2015 (and Marion’s way back in 2006), these sneakers are so rare that Marion himself had confessed to no longer having a pair. Book must have heard, because he gifted Shawn the shoes after his jersey ceremony. You can see the pure joy on Marion’s face.

With only a few pairs of the Jordans in existence, Booker surely put some thought into the gesture and pulled a few strings to get ahold of a pair for Marion’s special night. Things may not be going well for our Suns right now, but we’re fortunate to have Book.

    My pinky looks like his in the third picture. Except it’s not sideways just forever bent downward at the middle knuckle.

    Book’s connectivity to the history of this franchise is amazing.

    I also loved that he came out during the presentation. Seemed like he tried to slide in unannounced, but um, he’s Devin Booker, so it wasn’t unnoticed.
