Devin Booker no obtuvo ni un solo voto de MVP de Kia. No form\u00f3 parte del primer, segundo o tercer equipo All-NBA. Estuvo en el Juego de Estrellas este a\u00f1o, pero solo como reemplazo del lesionado Anthony Davis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninguno de esos dulces gratificantes para el ego de la temporada regular significa nada hoy. Este es un juego de hombres ahora. Haces tu fama de oto\u00f1o a primavera, pero te haces un nombre en verano. Ah\u00ed es cuando cada posesi\u00f3n cuenta, cuando los tiros son grandes y las luces est\u00e1n calientes, cuando se te pide que cumplas con lo que exija el momento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En ese sentido, aqu\u00ed y ahora, Booker est\u00e1 tomando un giro estelar serio, nada m\u00e1s que en el primer partido de la final de la Conferencia Oeste, cuando sacudi\u00f3 a los Clippers y puso a los Suns en el control temprano de la serie en un 120-114 Juego 1. ganar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker estuvo masivo el domingo porque Chris Paul no estaba. Y esto es lo interesante de toda la charla positiva que rodea a los Suns: Paul es considerado principalmente el que marca la diferencia, el jugador m\u00e1s importante del equipo, la pajita en la bebida. Y eso est\u00e1 bien y hasta cierto punto: Phoenix no lo hab\u00eda hecho mal en la d\u00e9cada anterior a su llegada a esta temporada con una bolsa de credibilidad. Pero lo que todos presenciaron en el Juego 1 fue la esencia de Booker y la fuerza pura de su juego ofensivo, que es todo mojado, jerga, por supuesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fueron 40 puntos, 13 rebotes, 11 asistencias, el primer triple-doble de su carrera y el momento era ideal. Fue un desmantelamiento que no se olvidar\u00e1 pronto en el Valle, hambriento durante mucho tiempo de entretenimiento de baloncesto de verano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHOENIX, AZ – JUNE 20: Devin Booker #1 of the Phoenix Suns high-fives teammates during the game against the LA Clippers during Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals of the 2021 NBA Playoffs on June 20, 2021 at Phoenix Suns Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.

Devin Booker didn\u2019t get a single Kia MVP vote<\/a>. He didn\u2019t make first or second or third team All-NBA<\/a>. He was at the All-Star Game this year, but only as a replacement for the injured Anthony Davis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of that ego-gratifying, regular-season candy means anything today. This is a man\u2019s game now. You make your fame from fall to spring, but you make your name in summer. That\u2019s when every possession counts, when shots are big and the lights are hot, when you\u2019re asked to meet whatever the moment demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that sense, right here and now, Booker is taking a serious star turn, none more than the opener of the Western Conference finals<\/a>, when he shook the Clippers and put the Suns in early control of the series in a 120-114 Game 1 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker was massive Sunday because Chris Paul was missing. And here\u2019s what\u2019s interesting about all the positive chatter surrounding the Suns: Paul is mainly considered the difference-maker, the team\u2019s most important player, the straw in the drink. And that\u2019s fine and accurate to a degree \u2014 Phoenix hadn\u2019t done diddly in the decade before he arrived this season with a bag of credibility. But what everyone witnessed in Game 1 was the essence of Booker and the sheer force of his offensive game, which is all wet \u2014 slang-speaking, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was 40 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists,\u00a0his first career triple-double<\/a>, and the timing was ideal. It was a dismantling that won\u2019t soon be forgotten in the Valley, long starved for summer basketball entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
