Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker is used to be one of the main stars on the team but his Olympic Games experience was completely different. This time around, he took a little bit of the back seat while some of the biggest legends of the game led the team to winning the Gold Medal. During the previous Olympic Games he attended, Booker was way more important to the team than this time around and he needed to make some adjustments. After doing so accordingly, he could understand how important it was for him to be part of that time that made history. Contrary to other players within that team, Devin Booker also managed to understand his place on the team without making a scene.

Devin Booker’s sensations after the Olympic Games

Booker won the Olympic Gold medal but he wasn’t the same prevalent player he was during the previous Olympic Games he attended. But more importantly, the Phoenix Suns star took a humble test that placed his ego in its right place and left him an unforgettable experience. One of the main aspects he took from this experience was the fact that Booker finally lived through the experience of playing alongside LeBron James and Stephen Curry. He understood that completely as he told a reporter this: “This experience was totally different from the first one. Not taking anything away from that, but the atmosphere, obviously Stephen, LeBron joining us, this experience is going up there with any other experience in my lifetime.”

Devin Booker’s experience was completely different to what Kevin Durant went through, mainly due to KD’s experience in the Olympics. With the Gold Medal he won, that is the fourth time he get this distinction and he got similar treatment compared to Bron and Steph. Durant is also considered one of the biggest legends of the game. While Devin Booker is still young, he hasn’t won a single NBA championship and he seems poised to be that same leader these three were by the time the next Olympic Games come knocking on his door. Come 2028, the event will take place in Los Angeles and Team USA will be the local.
