if Kobe saw something then he's already legendary.

Djibril Mutagoma:

kobe actually said he would become legendary time to sit back and watch tht happen

Tony Thomas Jr:

Youngest player to score 70 points in game and he’s still under rated 🤦🏽‍♂️

Vote Devin Booker for All star game!!!

Booker is making his book mark as an elite scorer by scoring 70 points in one game.

Reuben Hjk:

Him and Klay are UNSTOPPABLE when they are on

Fun With Memes:

I like Booker's attitude. He came off the bench at Kentucky because of how stacked that team was, and instead of letting that stunt his development like so many others, he took it as a challenge. Iron sharpens iron, and now he's a fantastic NBA player.

Spaßvogel 2.0:

It seams like becoming legendary doesnt mean becoming an all star

Ryan Carter:

Kobe gave Devin Booker signed shoes that said “be legendary” on them the day he dropped 70 that fact alone makes me a Booker fan if the mamba says something like that u know he sees himself in them

J Breeze:

IMO he’s one of the more skilled guys in the league and he’s still so young, seems like he’s been in the league for about decade

Robin Nico:

Seeing how happy he was while talking to Kobe made me tear up

Devin X:

Everybody keep talking about Luka and Zion but forget that this man just turned 24. He was better than all of them when he was 20 but bc he was stuck in Phoenix nobody will acknowledge it. It’s okay book the real fans knew and still know how good you are. Future best player in the league just wait.
