    Ok gang, you know what to do. Give us your worst

    IDK why he’s not avoiding media when he was just spectacular throughout these playoffs until the last 1.5 games. He didn’t seem irritated when he hugged Mike Malone and Jokic after the game 6. A bit bizarre

  3. MattRice15

    Interesting way to get Dillon Brooks to want to come to the suns.

  4. Looks really bad but Iā€™ll be honest, if Iā€™m in his shoes I probably wouldnā€™t want to talk to the media either

  5. DynamixRo

    Already in the gym getting ready for next season.

    r/nbacirclejerk is gonna have a field day with this

    Look, the dude can ball when he’s feeling it. That said, talking to media is part of the job. Like actors who have to endlessly promote a film and want to die doing it.

    Show up, answer the questions, and then go cry yourself to sleep with your millions.

    Add-on thought:
    Kevin sticking around and answering questions is the move. He knew he’d be getting some tough questions. He’s still there taking that medicine. I give credit where it’s due.

  8. I wish I could just not do parts of my job because Iā€™m sad

    Not like you have to give insightful answers…

    Just go waste their time for a few minutes, check that box, and they’ll move on.

  10. I_Set_3_Alarms

    People are calling him soft, but have also pointed out how he played well besides the last game.

    Maybe he just doesnā€™t want to be pissed off and say something he regrets about his teammates/coach

  11. Iā€™m sure he just doesnā€™t wanna deal with all the DA, Monty and CP3 questions

    Stuff like this is why it’s hard to respect Booker no matter how hot he gets. He was laughing after game 4, saying Jokic could put up 50 but he’ll take the wins. Now it’s silence, while he’s leaving KD and all the other players to face the music.

  13. 2022: Everybody talking shit when they up!

    2023: /crickets.

    All kidding aside, Booker went ballistic this playoffs. No shame in having one bad game if the rest of the team isn’t able to support you.

    needs to man up. You are leader of this team, go says some generic stuff and go home..

  15. Getting blown out twice on your home floor in elimination games is hard pill to swallow. But still take it like a man.

    Luka was right about them, they love to talk when they up. Nowhere to be found when shit hits the fan.

    Just put a cardboard cutout of Devin Booker with one of the PR guys behind it and answer the medias questions using chatgpt

  17. ChiefSoldierFrog

    Media obligations is part of the game, part of the game DBook.

  18. monkey-pox

    Not like anything interesting would have come out of the questions, but not doing it just gives people another reason to clown on you

  19. JOMO_Kenyatta

    This sub alternates between being reasonable and toxic.

  20. LoyalDoyle

    Mans getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars to play a fucking game for a living. Boohoo you lost, answer a few questions, go home, cry, play Zelda, enjoy being financially secure for the rest of your days.

    How can you be this soft?

  21. dc4_checkdown

    Poor guy is going through a lot, imagine being a grown man but the focus of a custody dispute between Luka and Jokic

  22. Balls_of_Adamanthium

    I have a feeling he wasnā€™t missing any camera time when he was dropping 40 bombs a few days ago.

  23. GadgetGod1906

    Maybe it’s just me but I really don’t give a damn about a player talking to the media after a loss

  24. Heā€™s mentally soft like Ayton so no surprise really. Credit to KD for being a professional though

  25. DefactoAtheist

    I will happily identify myself as a bona fide, card carrying DB hater but I genuinely don’t give a damn about this shit. Wish more players would start treating the media with the contempt they deserve, frankly.

  26. WhoopingKing

    Everyone is sick of the media as a whole, dumbass reporters and their lame questions. Let’s stop acting like it’s a big deal if some one is fed up about. Specially after their season ended

    Nobody actually gives a shit about these questions. Nobody gives a shit if someone doesn’t show up. These comments are wack
