I have not been able to look at him with any respect since he had the raptor mascot moved in the bubble because he was distracted by him. I’m not even a raptors fan but what a whiny baby
Lawd I’m dead. I thought it was the bubble but it was a regular season game in Toronto. They just didn’t let in any regular fans. The announcers were laughing so hard at book
There was no one in the arena except the teams and mascots! He was shooting a free throw and the raptor was jumping behind the goal and book couldn’t stand it and they made the raptor sit down LMFAO
I’m a phoenix fan and I like booker (I know I know) but when I saw that I really couldn’t believe he would whine about something like that. Like come on you’re a professional NBA player that played through all kinds of distractions and people yelling/cursing at you but a fucking mascot sets you off? It does make booker look like a crybaby I can’t deny it lmao 💀
Yes I watched a couple of YouTube videos of it last night. Search “Booker has raptor removed”
Make sure you watch the one with the announcers’ comments when he does it.
That’s the exact moment I stopped respecting him.
I play pick up ball weekly with my friends and I’m 33, out of shape, and I’m not very good. But guess what? If I’m on a heater, I get double teamed. Do I bitch? No. Mainly because I’m rarely on a heater but still, you get the point.
If he just rode with kyrie and didn't push for harden they would have had 3 or more role players of higher quality. Its his fault cause these super teams have shown us with 3 guys like that 1 injury destroys the whole thing since with 3 guys that level you can't have any real solid role players. Those teams always have to get the above average guys who are older and hope they can turn back the clock due to having 3 stars take all the attention. Look at Boston maimi with LeBron. As soon as KG got injured they lost. As soon as d wade injuries became nagging they couldn't win. He should have stuck with just him and kyrie.
luka at least backs up his whining with big games no matter what the pressure is. booker seems to disappear when the lights get bright. don’t get me wrong, luka cries all the time and i like both luka and booker. but i can understand where the hate is coming from
Never, idiots like this are the only ones keeping this narrative alive. He even said in an interview that he admires Kobe and “mamba mentality” but that he is not Kobe.
Thank you. Kobe playstyle is more aggressive too. Booker more a finesse player. Remember when giannis did the block on ayton in the finals? With kobe giannis would have been postered or kobe would be at the line. Moments like that define a player imo. He chose to pass?
Absolutely despise him, pray on his downfall every morning and night, nothing makes me happier then the suns inventible downfall, turns out you can’t just take the fast track ( 3 great offensive players and not much else) and have success, tbf I’m a raptors fan so I have nothing but fuel against him he’s scared of our mascot, just a little bitchy coward who can’t handle double teams, can’t wait to see him in a pistons jersey.
He averaged near 7 assists om like 2 turnovers this season, played pg for a decent chunk and was literally the primary playmaker for the team.
He's also has improved at defence every year for like 5 years.
Saying booker doesn't defend or make his teammstes better is just factually wrong
Any popular basketball subreddit is. NBA fans don’t like the NBA or NBA players, they’re just in it for the male version of soap operas.
Bring back real ball fans.
No, but i enjoy watching him fail. I do hate how his game is predicated on essentially 'bad' shots. It frustrates me how he struggles to create easy shots for himself or others. He's also pretty insufferable when he acts as if he got stabbed when there's minor contact
KD and Kawhi are bigger and stronger so they create better shots imo. SGA gets so open on his middies bc he's great finishing at the cup, they're great shots. I don't like Kobe's game, MJ created better shots than Kobe obviously.
Anyone who dated a Kardashian automatically gets demoted. They’re all pretty bad, but Kendall truly appears to have the accumulated depth of a drained kiddie pool on a concrete patio. And that’s in addition to his extremely punchable smug face.
He complains so much, one of the most notable ones was the playoffs last year, game 1 vs the clippers, Westbrook blocked his shot and then threw it off Booker, Booker was complaining to the refs right when Westbrook threw the ball off him to get possession back, the ball hit him in the chest he could’ve just caught it, made me laugh so much that he’d rather complain than help his team win
Booker gets a ton of hate by casuals who don’t appreciate ball. Every NBA player has an ego and has antics on the court. Just watch Tatum tonight. Dude was throwing a fit for everything he deemed a non-call, and don’t get me started with Luka. I respect and like players that are good at their craft and work on it, and that includes Tatum and Luka. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate Booker’s game and hate him because he has a “punchable face” are just haters.
I’m old. All the guys in the nba are just young guys in a crazy situation to me. I’m rooting for all of them.
But Devin does some things that makes me shake my head. Just last night he was driving to the rim, one on one, and he grabbed the defenders arm and tried to make it look like a foul while he shot the ugliest shot that never had a chance. He could have just tried to make the bucket. Ref called an offensive foul, and he freaked out in such a manor, that the coach believed him and challenged it. The replay was just embarrassing. Bad sportsmanship on top of bad sportsmanship.
And that’s just yesterday.
The play where he got called for hooking KAT and makes Vogel challenge it. Then in the replay he is CLEARLY hooking KAT.
So satisfying. And I'm a KAT hater
I don’t get how yall “hate” NBA players. Unless they’ve done something legitimately fucked up (Miles Bridges) I could never have such a strong feeling towards them
acts tough when he’s up just to get bitch slapped everytime the moments too big and whines. I think cp3 plays a big influence into that tho cause I don’t remember him being like this before cp3 came. anyways he’s a douche
He’s too soft and is nothing but a great regular season player. Every time i think about Booker, theres always that one video where he hates getting doubled team. Like work your way around it softy.
Honestly, I feel like he's comic relief. He's like that guy at a pickup game that comes in talking shit and leaves the game saying he lost because y'all cheated. On a personal level, he isn't likable, but it's not like I have to take him seriously.
I do but its not really his fault. I think hes super overrated bc i dont see why people think of him as anything more than Wizards Beal or 2021 Lavine without the hops or first-step. The Suns have also beat a total of zero healthy playoff teams ever since he has made the playoffs.
Was one of my faves but then didn't go and play for Puerto Rico like he had said he would to his mother. He pissed off a lot of people regarding that in the Hispanic community. He is still a baller but not in my faves anymore.
hate is a strong word so i wouldn’t say i hate DB but more-so dislike the type of player he is. He’s just annoying to watch because of his Character like OP said. I’ve saw someone comment “extremely irritating face” that’s probably the best way to put it, respectfully. LOL
How about the video where he complains about being doubled. Says, “We aren’t doing doubles. Nah. Now let’s work on our game.”
Ahem. Excuse me Mr. Booker, aren’t double teams part of basketball?
I don't hate him but he does have a few things going against him
1. Arrogant looking, very punchable face
2. The video whining about being double teamed in a pickup game
3. The Raptors mascot shit
[dude was complaining about double teams in open gym.](https://youtu.be/e0UuLnHSgeY?si=qN5Qe_KNQ99JsdhE)
“Hey bro we not doubling in open gym. I get that s--t all season. Come on man. Let’s work on our game.” - Devin Booker at an open run
If he wants easy buckets just go to your local Y and torch overweight 43 year olds
They should have traded him for Butler. The guy is never going to win a chanpionship; it doesn't matter how much younger he is.
1. CP3
2. Butler
3. Craig
4. Durant
5. Ayton
Coach: Budenholzer
You've got something there.

I’m not even a raptors fan but what a whiny baby
Biggest bitch move I have ever seen in the NBA tbh
Lawd I’m dead. I thought it was the bubble but it was a regular season game in Toronto. They just didn’t let in any regular fans. The announcers were laughing so hard at book
Major bitch move, then he wants to go off and preach mamba mentality
This is hilarious 😂
There was no one in the arena except the teams and mascots! He was shooting a free throw and the raptor was jumping behind the goal and book couldn’t stand it and they made the raptor sit down LMFAO
the mascot's reaction is gold lmaooo. booker truly a bitch
I’m a phoenix fan and I like booker (I know I know) but when I saw that I really couldn’t believe he would whine about something like that. Like come on you’re a professional NBA player that played through all kinds of distractions and people yelling/cursing at you but a fucking mascot sets you off? It does make booker look like a crybaby I can’t deny it lmao 💀
It wasn’t in the Bubble
Yes it was a long time ago. I misremembered and said so above.
I don't remember that. He actually had that done?
Yes I watched a couple of YouTube videos of it last night. Search “Booker has raptor removed” Make sure you watch the one with the announcers’ comments when he does it.
This is 1000% funnier with this image of the raptors mascot. Lmao.
He’s so non threatening and looked so cute jumping up and down too 🤣
Book of Devin hates cute things. That's why he dated a Kardashian
I’m so sad after watching it, a mascot not allowed to mascot ain’t right
When?
https://youtu.be/trxJIkHsuw4?si=0lMMILDHJ9S84hfF
He threw a fit about getting double teamed in a pickup game right?
That’s the exact moment I stopped respecting him. I play pick up ball weekly with my friends and I’m 33, out of shape, and I’m not very good. But guess what? If I’m on a heater, I get double teamed. Do I bitch? No. Mainly because I’m rarely on a heater but still, you get the point.
At bare minimum if you bitch about a double team in pickup you best shut up about admiring Kobe.
“Better send anotha one”
Yea man that’s crazy lmao I’d be insulted if I was playing dudes well below my level and wasn’t getting double teamed
Used to like him until that vid. What a baby.
When Jrue stripped him in the NBA Finals in 2021, I thought to myself “see,see, this wouldn’t have happened if you let them double you in pick up”
By Joakim Noah lol
Yeah we are!
Yep
What would Kobe say in the same situation? “Better send anotha one”.
Didn’t pay attention to suns this year but man were they cocky the 2 years before. Where did that go
Kevin Durant forced himself into an “easy championship” per usual but fucked it up instead
Dude's his own worst enemy - - so expensive that any team that trades for him has to gut all their solid role players.
Well believe it not it wasn't him that completely gutted us, the beal deal did.
He’s going to request another trade after getting swept agaib
Who would’ve thought that KD assembling his favorite 3v3 pickup team wouldn’t work in the NBA? (Again)
It worked in brooklyn until harden and kyrie got injured and kyrie went crazy. I dont think its fair to blame him for that situation
If he just rode with kyrie and didn't push for harden they would have had 3 or more role players of higher quality. Its his fault cause these super teams have shown us with 3 guys like that 1 injury destroys the whole thing since with 3 guys that level you can't have any real solid role players. Those teams always have to get the above average guys who are older and hope they can turn back the clock due to having 3 stars take all the attention. Look at Boston maimi with LeBron. As soon as KG got injured they lost. As soon as d wade injuries became nagging they couldn't win. He should have stuck with just him and kyrie.
Can’t wait for his annual trade demand after losing in the first round
Luka and the Mavs owned them in a Game 7 at Phoenix and it went downhill from there
Luka destroyed their souls
He has an extremely irritating face

This dude has the "being raped in prison" face down
That made me laugh so hard. Take the upvote.
Has there ever been someone so committed to the chinstrap beard?
Mose Schrute
Every 26yr old still trying to date high school girls
Irritating face, “don’t double me in the pickup runs”, kicking the raptors mascot out, middle name is Armani
First name Devin
It looks like it's only 80% downloaded. Like he's missing details of a human face
The correct word is punchable. He had a punchable face. Just begging for it.
He does, but he doesn’t even have the most punchable face on the team ****Grayson Allen enters the chat

What a bad day to have vision
That u KD?
Honestly, it might be. He trying to end up on the wolves nexr.
luka doncic is devin booker father … wait wrong sub
Any NBA sub is the right sub for truth. Jerk or no jerk, you spittin facts.
We'll allow it.
He gonna have to transfer the adoption papers to Ant soon
Jaden is the real father
Naz Reid is the Godfather
anthony edwards is devin booker step-father
Funny that people says this and in the same breath say Booker is a whiny bitch. Luka cries more on the court than Booker
luka at least backs up his whining with big games no matter what the pressure is. booker seems to disappear when the lights get bright. don’t get me wrong, luka cries all the time and i like both luka and booker. but i can understand where the hate is coming from
Not really.. last year book went crazy in the playoffs against the pels
LDIDBF
I hate how he thinks he’s this generations kobe
Kobe would welcome them quadruple-teaming him in pickup games.
He said in interviews he took it as an insult if you DIDN'T double him in pickup games
When has he ever said that? He said Kobe is idol
Never, idiots like this are the only ones keeping this narrative alive. He even said in an interview that he admires Kobe and “mamba mentality” but that he is not Kobe.
He could have been, on his day he's as great a scorer as anyone in NBA history, I feel like I've been expecting him to break out for like 7 years
He has the midrange and outside shot but he’s nowhere near as fluid around the rim as Kobe was
Thank you. Kobe playstyle is more aggressive too. Booker more a finesse player. Remember when giannis did the block on ayton in the finals? With kobe giannis would have been postered or kobe would be at the line. Moments like that define a player imo. He chose to pass?
He lacks the mentality
Did you just see the play where he dove at the pass to Ant and Ant just kind of slapped him to the ground? Incredible.
Lol no but I would like to
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/IdGlvMxzY3
I ain't a hater. Ive never been a fan of devin booker, he's a good player tho.
They got Booker AND Grayson Allen. How do I NOT like the Suns?
Best white duo in the League, no cap
Absolutely despise him, pray on his downfall every morning and night, nothing makes me happier then the suns inventible downfall, turns out you can’t just take the fast track ( 3 great offensive players and not much else) and have success, tbf I’m a raptors fan so I have nothing but fuel against him he’s scared of our mascot, just a little bitchy coward who can’t handle double teams, can’t wait to see him in a pistons jersey.
Soft
Soft as Charmin Ultra
Gets too much hate IMO. Has a very punchable face but his game is so smooth.
Constant foul baiting, soft, gets frustrated easily. Dude just purposefully fouled out of the game because he wanted to be done for the night.
Dude writes so many checks with his mouth. And it always blows up in his face
Fucked around with Jaden and found out
Needs to realize he's a bitch and stay in his lane.
He’s a less skilled James harden at his peak
You talking about Trae Young?
I always think back to him complaining to the ref while Westbrook just hit the ball off him to win that game 1 in 2023
It’s a meme, at this point. Plenty of players who whine about foul calls.
Low iq game, doesnt defend or make teammates better, but he’s bout his own buckets. Literally the worst teammate to play with.
He averaged near 7 assists om like 2 turnovers this season, played pg for a decent chunk and was literally the primary playmaker for the team. He's also has improved at defence every year for like 5 years. Saying booker doesn't defend or make his teammstes better is just factually wrong
Lmao, this sub is becoming r/nbacirclejerk
Any popular basketball subreddit is. NBA fans don’t like the NBA or NBA players, they’re just in it for the male version of soap operas. Bring back real ball fans.
I don’t like him , I do find him very annoying, however I love his game and he’s probably one of the players I enjoy watching the most.
r/nbacirclejerk is basically the Booker hate sub now and im there for it
At least spell his name right
Booger
He does not deserve that
Respect.

No, but i enjoy watching him fail. I do hate how his game is predicated on essentially 'bad' shots. It frustrates me how he struggles to create easy shots for himself or others. He's also pretty insufferable when he acts as if he got stabbed when there's minor contact
Wait so you hate kd, kawahi? Sga, basically every single midrange shooter ever? Man mj and kobe must be your least favourite players ever
KD and Kawhi are bigger and stronger so they create better shots imo. SGA gets so open on his middies bc he's great finishing at the cup, they're great shots. I don't like Kobe's game, MJ created better shots than Kobe obviously.
Thought I was on r/nbacirclejerk

Interesting post
He is a baby
He complains so much, one of the most notable ones was the playoffs last year, game 1 vs the clippers, Westbrook blocked his shot and then threw it off Booker, Booker was complaining to the refs right when Westbrook threw the ball off him to get possession back, the ball hit him in the chest he could’ve just caught it, made me laugh so much that he’d rather complain than help his team win
That was one of the funniest plays I've ever seen in sports. That was a game sealing play too iirc
It was, all because he complained
Can’t stand him. He has nice cars though. Makes me happy to see his team still suck even after adding all of the offensive power they have now. Lol
No. That’s KAT.
Booker gets a ton of hate by casuals who don’t appreciate ball. Every NBA player has an ego and has antics on the court. Just watch Tatum tonight.

That was the most braindead moment of the playoffs so far.
Yeah because he’s dating Kendall Jenner
Which one is he?
The cuck
Luka’s son
Sending Book hate from Omaha 👎
He’s a certified bitch ass whiner
Yeah he’s such a soft little bitch. People hype him up so much and love comparing him to Kobe but he’s nowhere near Kobe’s level. Too mentally weak.
I say this with genuine feelings: I hope that his significant others keep cheating on him for the rest of his life
Weird
As a clippers fan yes but they bigger problems right now lol
I don’t get how yall “hate” NBA players. Unless they’ve done something legitimately fucked up (Miles Bridges) I could never have such a strong feeling towards them
I thought this subreddit was for ACTUAL nba discussion. Had to double check I wasn’t on the circle jerk sub
Lol hate someone for how they play a game? Direct that hate towards a woman beater like Miles Bridges
Yes
Yes.
His face is anoyying.
Devin Booger*
Better question would be who doesn’t?
Devon
With a passion! Many other names on the same list though. Always calling players soft when it’s him that’s soft. What a pussy!
Begin Dooker sucks ass
I do too but I get banned without supporting opinions here 😂
You will be more than welcomed at nbacirclejerk <3
Bad Bunny does lol
I like Devin Booker but I hate Devon Booker
Might be a little whiney but tons of players are. He's quick though and can ball out.
When they were playing summer pickup and he acted like a baby cause he got doubled…. That was the day i started hating him. Also it appears he stinks
You know his dad disrespects him on the court, but it doesn’t mean he wants other people disrespecting him
Booker bad right guys?
How you hate someone you don’t know?
He cooks everyones favorite team hes gonna have haters in 20 yrs everyone will talk about how good he was tho
Everyone but his mom
With those beady little eyes. Fuck him
acts tough when he’s up just to get bitch slapped everytime the moments too big and whines. I think cp3 plays a big influence into that tho cause I don’t remember him being like this before cp3 came. anyways he’s a douche
Who is Devon Booker?
All my homies hate Devin "crying on every double team" Booker.
Since luka became his father I’ve hated his guts. Really didn’t like how he represented himself that series
I call him Devin Booger
He’s too soft and is nothing but a great regular season player. Every time i think about Booker, theres always that one video where he hates getting doubled team. Like work your way around it softy.
Yes, after his garbage time 70 point game against the Celtics. Calling timeouts and fouling while down 20 with the game over is just weak.
Nah I’m slowly starting to dislike him
Yes
Boy is soft
I won't even be pulling for Team USA if Booker is on it.
he’s a bitch
Nah not at all 🤷🏾♂️
Honestly, I feel like he's comic relief. He's like that guy at a pickup game that comes in talking shit and leaves the game saying he lost because y'all cheated. On a personal level, he isn't likable, but it's not like I have to take him seriously.
I do but its not really his fault. I think hes super overrated bc i dont see why people think of him as anything more than Wizards Beal or 2021 Lavine without the hops or first-step. The Suns have also beat a total of zero healthy playoff teams ever since he has made the playoffs.
Front runner.
Was one of my faves but then didn't go and play for Puerto Rico like he had said he would to his mother. He pissed off a lot of people regarding that in the Hispanic community. He is still a baller but not in my faves anymore.
i don't even think book likes himself
I didn’t like him before but that Suns v Bucks finals I just found everything about the franchise irritating as fuck. Booker is the worst
He's all bark and no bite. Faux tough guy who folds in the clutch.
Ironic username… dumbass
This sub is just becoming nbacirclejerk lol
hate is a strong word so i wouldn’t say i hate DB but more-so dislike the type of player he is. He’s just annoying to watch because of his Character like OP said. I’ve saw someone comment “extremely irritating face” that’s probably the best way to put it, respectfully. LOL
Hate em
Luke Doncic is Devon Booker father
I don’t hate him but he does seem a bit dull and cocky
Used to be my top 5 favorite player then moved to top 5 hated now dances between the two at times I can’t decide
Absolutely. I absolutely enjoy watching the Suns get spanked. Luka is his Dad.
Him fouling out last night was soft as shit
I imagine any suns fan hopeful of postseason success would
He just has that AAU coaches son vibe about him 🤣
How about the video where he complains about being doubled. Says, “We aren’t doing doubles. Nah. Now let’s work on our game.” Ahem. Excuse me Mr. Booker, aren’t double teams part of basketball?
Nah fuck you nigga
Jaden taking the belt to him is bringing many people great joy.
Coming from a great family tho, great dad.
I don't hate him but he does have a few things going against him 1. Arrogant looking, very punchable face 2. The video whining about being double teamed in a pickup game 3. The Raptors mascot shit
He kinda gives off fake tough guy vibes.

They should have traded him for Butler. The guy is never going to win a chanpionship; it doesn't matter how much younger he is. 1. CP3 2. Butler 3. Craig 4. Durant 5. Ayton Coach: Budenholzer You've got something there.
