Y’all hating to much he scored 70 BEFORE HE CAN LEGALLY DRINK 70 is 70 he immediately went to that hey lost he knew it didn’t mean as much without the win
Its not just that they didnt win, that game was a 30 point blowout more than halfway through and phoenix started fouling like crazy in order to get him the ball back. It was straight up hero ball in garbage time. 70 is still insane but the performance has a major asterisk on it when you factor in game script.
@@aurianzarrineh2633do you even remember the game? the suns intentionally fouled when book was already at 63 with less than a minute left in the game and it was a 10 point game lmao insane how narratives have shaped people’s perception of that game
@@timothywright5322 the guy is copying and pasting this same comment up and down the board 😭
@@aurianzarrineh2633 Lol you def didn't watch the game, just heard someone say that (someone clearly over dramatic) and ran with it.
@@ikellama i am a celtics fan and I remember watching the game. It was amazing what book did and was very impressive for a player of his age to put up a crazy statline like that but it was very artificial. The suns were down by double digits the whole game, a good chunk of his points came in the last 2 minutes against the Celtics’ garbage time unit. Its not on the same level as other high scoring performances of its time.
❤🗣️ “I don’t wanna give these guys no good energy before the Playoffs!” I effing LOVE that mentality!
he was definitely talking bout Denver LMAO
💯💯💯
Yo Book has to be the most hated player in the nba a 20 yr old scores 70 in 2016 and people have to hate this is crazy lol
To say him scoring 70 isn’t impressive is hating. But i dont think its hating to point out how artificial it was, a bulk of those points were in garbage time and to the outcome of the game were meaningless. That game was a 30 point blowout more than halfway through and he did a lot of his damage on the Celtics’ benchwarmers. Not to mention Phoenix were intentionally fouling to maximize possessions. That was the equivalent of a my career game in all honesty.
@@aurianzarrineh2633 scoring 50 is nice on anybody but if you are playing against nba players in a regulated game with the pace as slow as it was back then and whatever you say they were still trying to win to score SEVENTY at 20 years old back then is crazy.
@@Opulent00 he scored almost half of his points in a 30 point blowout and he put up 16 points in the last 2:30 down by 18 when the game was over. Its a massively overrated performance I dont care how old he was, its really impressive he scored 70 and got that hot, but it was built on the game script and the fact it was garbage time.
I swear nba fans can never have 2 different opinions. Its always 1 extreme or the other.
Its amazing that he scored 70 points being 20 years old.
Its also not that impressive if you take into account that he lost the game. BUT you cannot take away the fact that he was on a very shitty Suns team.
So he did his thing despite having a bad team.
@@alejandroserrano7755 the fact he was on a crappy team is what allowed him to do that, when you are scoring the bulk of your points in garbage time and being given an insane green light to shoot because everybody else sucks its really not that impressive when you compare it to other great scoring performances. It was a stat stuffing session
He was about to say "I've watched it a million times" but caught himself and said "a couple times"
Facts. LOLOL.
I peeped that immediately 😂😂
Drafted 13th overall, 2nd year in the league, on one of the worst NBA rosters ever assembled and everybody comparing his 70 point game to those of a bunch of top 5 picks that people were saying would be generational. Just a bunch of negative people.
70 is 70 if they do it, but when it’s all this stuff surrounding it people get picky 😂
Luka’s 73 was way better
@@Trillchris9607 I agree but only dallas fans will remember his because 3 other guys decided to score 70 in the same season. It had been 11 years since anybody scored 70 for book and another 6 for people to do it again, in which case several guys did it
@@jacobfischer8385 only Embiid also scored 70? what three other guys lmao
@@maxkru3949 mitchell got 70 last year
"And I just gave him a lot of buckets, you can't guard me though" 🔥
Unnatural amount of hate Booker gets
Not really, he kinda brings it upon himself. He's one of the biggest trash talkers in the league and he acts like he's accomplished something when in reality he hasn't in terms of winning and team success. He also gets coddled by the national media and even more so here in Phoenix. He's soft like Charmin as his mentor Kobe would say.
@@qm804you just gave an example of what he was referring to.
@@qm804 I prefer guys who don't talk trash but there's nothing wrong with it y'all love guys like MJ and Kobe why's it a problem when he does it. And you can't knock him for not having a ring when 90% of NBA stars don't either and at least he's made the finals that's more than most have accomplished. Show him his respect
Its easy to hate on a dude who cant back up what he says. Plus he dated a Jenner
@qm804 u have created this scenario in ur own head
4th quarter is slower because like toilet paper, at the end, you're aware of every sheet being used and need to make the best of each one
I tend to side with JJ here because this is a Suns problem (last in 4th qtr differential?) that other teams don't have. Playing slow and burning shot clock trying to get the perfect matchup hasn't been working so it's time for Kevin Smith to try something else.
lool dis is very true
Y’all hating on a man scoring 70 pts is wild, like 70 is 70 or I must be buggin
These are the same people who would miss an open layup. I would too not going to lie, but I ain't judging Dbook.
Yea it’s incredible impressive!!!
@@YehovaFirst I could probably still make most open layups, and what Devon Booker did made an impression on me when he did it, and his *70 points* in that game still does - no matter the game circumstances.
@@williestyle35all points aren't equal
People thought Book would be a good players when he got drafted but NO ONE saw him being this good. Especially this quickly
Booker instantly jumped in respect by saying he lost tho as soon as he brings it up. This is the old head talking but kids these days dont appreciate the win as much as they respect the stats. The league is geared towards offense, of course people are gonna drop high numbers. Is 70 still fucken nasty and something you should be proud of? yes but winning is important.
Book tuff as hell & he legit still improving each year.. I call 🧢 on he didn’t know til he was at 55😂 I swear they was deadass down still drawing up plays, feeding him the ball, just so he could get set a record
Thats nice dbook 🔥
The hate is WILD
I swear nba fans can never have 2 different opinions. Its always 1 extreme or the other.
Its amazing that he scored 70 points being 20 years old.
Its also not that impressive if you take into account that he lost the game. BUT you cannot take away the fact that he was on a very shitty Suns team.
So he did his thing despite having a bad team. Which is prettty impressive.
although unofficial, i will always view klay's 60 piece in 29 minutes as a 70+ point game. he didn't even play in the 4th, if i remembered correctly..
meanwhile, devin played until the buzzer went off in that 70 point game vs the celtics, being down double digits for the most part of the game i believe.
still impressive. not taking anything away. but klay was doing crazy sht like that before everyone else did. unfortunately for klay, those injuries man... and he was a top 5 2-way guard at his prime putting up offensive records.
Klay's game was 3 months earlier so basically the same time. What I remember hearing about that was he only dribbled like 11 times all game. Not to take anything away from Klay but he basically just caught and shot assists from Steph and Dray all night and was red hot. Booker was on a trash team and was creating and working through doubles in the second half. Book was only 20. Then again Suns lost.
Both games were great and Klay also played tough defense when he was younger where as Book wasn't expected to on a lottery team for his first few years.
very nice interview, booker is cool
I kinda think he was thinking about denver tho XDD
They didn’t just lose, they were getting hammered already then he started shooting every shot
And every last player on the planet would do that, too, if they were pushing 70.
great convo
Bookers a beast
Mr. Redick, looking sharp on ABC Sir! May peace be upon us all
"everyone started doing it"??? Oh you mean THREE OTHER PEOPLE??
And who are those other 3 people?

Booker is probably the only player with multiple +60 point game losses. 😂
Jordan has a couple, but you might be right.
Two others have done it, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.
He is not. But he IS the only player to have multiple 60+ games and have a 0% win rate in those games. Wilt was 24/34 in his 60+ performances. Jordan was 2/4 in his. Elgin Baylor, Kobe, Luka, and Harden are undefeated in their 60+ games (3-0, 4-0, 2-0, 4-0)
@@imightbebiased9311 until you look and see it was the 2017 phoenix suns that lost the game. Then it makes sense.
Man played with tyson chandler and a bunch of G leaguers. People are still gonna hate on him.
Scoring 70 is impressive no matter the circumstances.
The only part I hold against his performance is that his coach purposely called 2 TOs at the end of the game so he could get to 70. Not to win the game. just so he could get to 70. In a loss.
You wouldn't do that for yourself or another player on your team if they were close to 70? Especially if the game didn't matter? He dropped 70 points at 20 years old working through double teams, please quit undermining it while doing nothing but praise all other 70+ point games.
I personally wouldn't want to score some extra points in a game we are already losing by double digits in the last 4 mins of 4qtr.
I've always thought it was corny when players do that or check back into a game that is over to get an extra rebate for a triple double. Now, if there is still a chance you win, go for it. Even if it's just a couple of seconds.
Calling 2 TOs just to score an extra 5 points is corny.
Devin Booker is the youngest to ever score 70+ points at 20 years old! Dude is a legend. Wow at 20.
They were down 15 the whole game 😂
As a Celtics fan, it was wild to see Dbook score 70 and they still lost. Dbook a walking bucket
Am i the only booker fan in the world.... sweet
“everyone doing it” and then it was only 3 other players…
At least we all know Booker enjoys scoring more than winning. Good luck Suns fans
lol Luka was the elite player Jj was referring to about how easy it is to score in the nba.
still impressive. On the road, on a back to back, against Boston. With literally ZERO help. 2nd year in the league. If one other guy had played well, Suns win that game.
It’s not that they lost .. or that it wasn’t impressive .. it’s the fact it was force fed in a 35 point blowout .. how many records would the splash bros have if they played in blowouts or got force fed ?
Key word if. Youngest player to do it, so you have to still give him credit. Such a small amount of players have ever even come close, now ya'll think his performance wasn't anything special just bc of some stat padding. Why has hardly anyone else done it, then? Let alone a 20 year old.
"The least impressive 70 points" has to be the most insane attempt at a dis i have ever read. Do you people even read what you type?! Do you have any idea what it takes to score 70 points in the NBA under any given circumstances, let alone against a championship contender of the time? The Celtics were actually trying to stop him - it's a matter of pride not to let someone drop 70 on you. And he did. Age 20. The first to do it in 11 years and no one could do it for the next 6 years. One of only 10 players who ever did it...
NBA "fans" are getting worse than old ladies discussing soap operas. All narrative, no ball.
It's not like the 70 he for was meaningful for the NBA....He was stat padding
You drop it then. 70 is 70, ya'll have absolutely ZERO grounds to be undermining it like you are.
@@ikellama Empty numbers.....their team was already down
@@alvin081988Why is it so rare then? Surely empty numbers like that pop up more often in a league with “no defense”. Only 10 players have ever done it, please quit acting like it was nothing special.
70 In a loss tells you how a team is so terrible
I watched that game live. It was the most generic 70 points I’ve ever seen. They were literally forcing every shot. They was down big the whole game so all they had left was getting him 70 points
Klay Thompson's 60 point game way more impressive than any of these. 29minutes, 11 dribbles, no garbage time!
ppl these days don’t know how to appreciate more than one thing. they were both great performances
11 dribbles means he had teammates setting him up. This makes things easier for him, not harder.
When Book dropped 70 in his 2nd year it definitely felt like a special moment. But their not wrong, when it happens today it's still cool but doesn't feel nearly as impactful. And it's not like it was that long ago Book did it. That's just how much the league has changed in like 6 year. I feel like Durant led the league at like 28ppg just a decade ago... D. Fox is doing near that this year and wasn't even an allstar lol
Bookers mirror in the bathroom would have love bites on it.
Booker gets hated on but for me it's subtle stuff. "I lost though." Like doesn't even consider it "we lost." It's just subtle stuff like that. Like you're still on the Suns. Like y'all all lost. Maybe he's trying to take the blame for the loss? Idk it's just weird to refer to a loss as "I lost" or "I won" in a team sport.
And for the record, I'm not mad he scored 70 and stayed in the game. Team sucked and the goal is to lose games when you're a team that young and bad. That kinda individual accomplishment and you take the L? That's good for team chemistry and it's good for the team aiming for the draft and adding more pieces. To me it's more that I think that moment gave him this feeling of "these guys are bums and I'm not. I'm not on their team."
And that's actually the bad part of Mamba mentality. That was the toxic part of Kobe's game before he matured and trusted his teammates and considered them a part of the equation even though he was much better. I think Devin Booker is going to learn to get rid of the subconscious arrogance that he's not even intending to have and I think that's when he's really going to figure it out and win.
You might be overthinking this one. They were talking about his performance specifically, not the team as a whole on that question.
Booker plays team basketball. He is looked at as being an unselfish player locally that wants to win above all else.
Everyone?!! lol..
Wasn’t Booker down by double digits still fouling and rushing up the court to score? 😭
So hes supposed to just quit mid game?
@@anglev649 they down 50
@@anglev649 Yea you're supposed to quit so they can say they don't have that dog in them 😭 "he claimed he's the next Kobe but he gave up down 20+" but then you have comments like this

Do you celebrate the warriors 73-9 season? I’m pretty sure no one else does bruh. Without the win it’s just ok.
Bookers 70 was by far the least impressive
exactly! Was in a loss, FG: 21-40 3pt: 4-11 FT: 24-26
Hater lmao He was a 20 yr old kid who scored 70 years before anyone could do it lmao
@@Mark-hd8io70 is still 70 if it was easy everyone would be averaging atleast 10+ points
@anglev649 it's still impressive feat but he they were fouling the other team down 20 to get him the ball lol. Kinda shameless

Luka and Booker need to team up and play Lebron and Bronny
Remember when Kobe said that Devin booker is going to be something special ...
@@nicholastartaglia4276 see how disrespectful they y’all get even to the greats if they co-sign a player you don’t like so you turn into a weirdo all passive aggressive
@@matthewharris9580 nothing I said is false though so you don't actually reply to anything I said.
Figure out why you got hurt by my comment before you watch your next mamba mentality video and ignore that kobe is a rapist
Don't compare his 70 to Lukas 73
His true shooting was 68%. Conversely, Luka's almost triple double 73-point game was 91.2%.
DBooks was 20, Luka is 25.
Book hit 70 on the celts and Luka did it to the hawks
Luka's game came against the Hawks. Booker's came against the 1st-seeded Celtics.
One of them won their team the game
@@YehovaFirstokay, then let's see book do it again 😂 he won't get another chance bro. Also, Luka won and was better in every single category
Not only did he lose his 70 point game, they were down by 10+ the entire time. Sure he scored 70, but if the other team is dominating the whole time why would they bother to make any adjustments.
Devin Booker. He's one of the good ones.
Mmmmmmmmmm he did in probably the worst way possible , respectfully. To score 70 in the NBA as a pro is very easy when it’s kinda given.
Dumbest comment
He has to many haters lol he knows he’s a bucket 😭
Why does he try THAT hard to force that voice that deep?! Geez bro, rub the sleep outta your eyes 😂
Kobe dollar store edition.
LUKA 73
He’s not the first person to score 70 and won’t be the last🤦🏾♂️ y’all be glazing😂💯
You a hater
him and kobe the only ones who scored 70 plus around that time until previously. your the one glazing brother wipe ya lips
Nigga it’s 70 points 😭 talkin bout glazing when only 10 people have ever done it
Luka’s son trying to stay relevant 😂
I really don’t know why but Devin booker is probably the least likeable player for me in the entire history of NBA… to me he is just a created player from 2k and artificial humans give me the willies
Dallas fan? Genuinely curious.
@@solitude7566 no, grizzlies fan.
Lol sure we waited for booker to see 70 pts games. Yall sound stupid on these podcasts
FIRST!
Bookers 70 wasn’t even earned if you watched the game
When are you going to talk about Le'Balco?
He scored 70 in a losing effort when his teammates were essentially feeding him the ball. Not really the same as Kobe, Joel, and Luka
joel had 22 fts dont put him in that group
Luka, joel, mitchell, lillard all did it now book was the only one since kobe so not comparable to me its clearly alot easier now
@@joyliniacoilinia wtf is joel supposed to do if he gets fouled that's a dumb mentality, kobe had 20 fta too so kobe shouldn't be in the group too
@@joyliniacoilinia What's wrong with 22 free throws?
Bad take tbh
luka is your DADDY
I knew someone would say it. I still don't what drives Luka Dončić to go at Booker like he does, but it is sure fun to watch!
statpadded 70 ball
I remember his team fouled the celtics very fast every possession so he will have time to score, very non organic 70 to say the least
He not special lol
It's a joke. Defense is terrible now.
Him scoring 70 in an L is the defining moment of his career so far. Its so typical for him.
That or Luka owning him.
Your lame af, Luka is seasoned at this point, that was a 20 year old booker with this undefined version of spreading the floor, next time just say it was the first and the efficiency was down because it was one of the first times seeing someone drop 70 with the blueprint of todays nba play style. Don’t try to compare Lukas stats it’s disingenuous
What would you say Luka's defining moment is? Missing the playoffs or getting swept by the Warriors?
🤡🤡
@@solitude7566 Im gonna give you a hint, he had his defining moment the same day as Devin lmaoooo
How does Luka's testicles taste like?
booker is soft and a front runner
I am a Celtics fan to preface this and I dont want to sound like a hater by any means. But Booker’s 70 was very artificial and to me was not that impressive when you compare it to other high scoring games of that level. He scored a large bulk of his points in garbage time of that game and Phoenix were fouling the Celtics in a blowout loss in order to maximize possessions. He was playing hero ball on a bad team in a game that was lost and was only focused on scoring not actually winning. 70 points no matter how you slice it is still a incredible feat but if you compare it to Lukas or Embiids its not even close.
His 70 point game was highly efficient
@@shaker027 he took 40 shots and a ton of free throws, he definitely stepped it up in garbage time. Again 70 points is very impressive but it isnt some all time performance in my opinion. It was honestly a prelude to this stat padding era.
I remember that game, me and my boys were betting and we were like " ain't no way book gives 27 to Avery Bradley". Next morning we wake up to 70 on his head. Watched the game, it was never really a contest. Celtics play better, Book goes for his numbers. The fourth quarter was especially embarrassing. But they we're winning 25 games per season those years, so I can't blame him. One of the few players from those rosters that stuck around
@@stolekostov5111 avery bradley didnt even play 😭😭😭😭😭 cap city over here
@@aurianzarrineh2633 we didn't know that back then, get off from school at 1 or 7 PM and just place a bet for the sake of it before going home for dinner, it was pure intuition, there were a few FB groups posting who's ruled out for the evening. But since we're in Europe, we we're betting at noon on the east coast and morning hours on the west coast. Most teams hadn't even done shoot arounds by that time and we were like 16 on the other side of the globe betting 50 cents on a 8 player parlay 😭
You lost 🤫🤫🤫🗑
Probably the most overrated player in the NBA
Im not impressed by anyone in the NBA now,no one plays defense.
Don't compare his 70 to Lukas 73
