I just watched a 60 Minutes piece on Rich Paul. Him getting Bledsoe his 70 million dollar contract from the Suns was his turning point. The original offer from the Suns was 28 million. What a fool Sarver was.
Sarver was thirsty for Lebron. Lebron and Rich basically clowned him like something out of a 90’s teen movie.
That's exactly right and it wasn't the first or last time Sarver was played for the fool he was. I think it's a pretty big reason he was such a spiteful prick late in his ownership tenure. He was always an asshole, but that kind of stuff with Rich Paul seemed to really push it overboard.

Yep, he was never worth half that contract.

Book felt the unconditional love from the beginning and helped get us where we are today.
And you know why he got that from Phoenix and our fans? Because he earned it. He always showed his heart on the court. He always was looking to get better. He always left everything he had on the court and it took a lot to prevent him from playing.

Just a straight up baller with an amazing work ethic and NEVER hear him blaming anyone else for his growth. We're so lucky to have a guy like that and hope he retires a Sun when he's finished.

And he doesn't use his self-created nickname in the third person.

Q: If Booker gave himself a cringey self-created nickname and kept referring to himself by it, what would it be? The Bookworm? Book It? DB1?
