History was made tonight in Arizona, as Devin Booker became the second leading scorer all-time for the Phoenix Suns franchise, passing Alvan Adams and now only trailing Walter Davis. His historic performance helped lead his team to a 130-125 victory over the Sacramento Kings at Footprint Center.
When asked about this achievement, DBook said that it's hard to put into words. He said he has high respect for Alvan as well as all of his peers, mentioning that despite not being a focal point back in Kentucky, he was confident in himself even though he knew how talented everyone around him was. The Suns shooting guard loved the competition and knew that he could score buckets due to his strong mindset of never backing down.
