Booker All-Time Suns Franchise Points Record Watch

Post by Superbone »

I think this is thread-worth. One Devin Armani Booker is now 90 points away from tying Walter Davis for most points in Suns franchise history. He will most likely get the record while on the current road trip.

Some have speculated that he should be held back from getting the record on the road trip but the more likely result will be to celebrate the accomplishment in our next home game against the Jazz on Friday, February 7th.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

That kind of happened to Beal in Washington, right?

I think we make the Jimmy trade within the next few days and then purposely sit Book a game with a fake injury so he can break the record at home. That’s my prediction.

Cool, got my tickets. Just a few rows behind the Suns bench! Figured I'd splurge a little bit. Hopefully, I'll be able to see some new team members from any trade deadline deals too.

I think that’s for the plane flight after the game.

Thanks for making a thread for this. It is a big accomplishment and deserves to be celebrated. I hope he either sets it at home or they make a big splash about it in our first home game back.

If it happens at home, everybody start shouting, “DAB, DAB, DAB!” See if you can get him to do it.

After the Suns stomping of Warriors and Book's 31 points:

Career Phoenix Suns Points:
Devin Booker: 15,607
Walter Davis: 15,666

59 points away

The only question now is where does he surpass him. Next three games: @Portland, @Portland, @OKC. In OKC seems most likely although he could easily have a couple 30 point games in Portland.

Best possible outcome. Book dunks on Ayton, massively teabags him, Ayton falls down, tears a toenail, career-ending injury. Plays on loop on SportsCenter the whole next day.

Well, Booker had 37 tonight. That's the important thing, right?

I’m curious but too lazy to figure it out, what are Book’s and Sweet D’s W-L records with the Suns?
