Devin Booker shouts out Suns legend for helping him during rough times

Amar’e Stoudemire knew Devin Booker was the next big thing for the Phoenix Suns

Looking at the Phoenix Suns right now, the team is a visual representation of a playoff contender. They boast stars such as Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. They’re currently fifth in the Western Conference and have won seven out of their last 10 games, the latest of which was a victory over the Houston Rockets on Thursday.

However, the road wasn’t always this smooth for Phoenix. Prior to recent years, the team experienced plenty of heartache, particularly during Booker’s first couple of seasons. They lacked offensive firepower, and management just couldn’t provide Booker with an adequate supporting cast before the acquisition of Chris Paul in 2020.

Those years were hard for a young star like Booker, who was already the face of the franchise early on. Thankfully, it looks like there was support coming from a Suns legend at that time. Speaking to the media following Phoenix’s win over Houston, Booker credited Amar’e Stoudemire for being in contact with him during the start of his career. Stoudemire constantly texted Booker and kept telling the young guard to keep going when things went south, per Arizona Sports’ Kellan Olson.

Any Phoenix fan who tuned in during the first decade of the century would know that Stoudemire was a force to be reckoned with in his Suns years. Stoudemire’s pick-and-roll with Steve Nash caused headaches to opposing defenses, and the big man himself was one of the biggest reasons why the team was a powerhouse in the West.

Presently, the Suns are fearsome competitors once more, and for Devin Booker, there’s no better chance to take home the crown than with his current squad. The playoffs are less than two months away, and Phoenix looks to be in the mix of things yet again.

From people who see heaven after being declared clinically dead, to those who believe they’ve been reincarnated, there are plenty who are certain that life goes on after death.

Also known as a ‘pre-mortal’ or ‘near-birth’ experiences, self-proclaimed ‘psychics’ on social media claim they remember their soul travelling down a ‘pre-birth tunnel’ and into their human bodies.

As Democrats all over the world weep into their kombucha, I’m afraid I have only one thing to say: you brought this on yourselves.

As Democrats all over the world weep into their kombucha, I’m afraid I have only one thing to say: you brought this on yourselves. I’m sure Kamala Harris is a perfectly nice woman but at no point during this campaign did she demonstrate the strength of character, vision and sheer star power required to win the White House. Many Americans – certainly most Americans I know – have deep reservations about Donald Trump. They find him distasteful, divisive, deeply dodgy. And indeed, he can be all of those things. But even the staunchest of liberals felt deeply disappointed and let down by this Biden administration and, in particular, its stubborn refusal to acknowledge the current President’s evident shortcomings. Harris was a poor choice of candidate – but perhaps more significantly she was also an establishment choice on the part of an elite desperate to stay in power, a human box-ticking exercise who, whatever her own personal merits, was always going to stick in the craw of the ordinary American.

Many people on the Right in Britain are delighted by Donald Trump’s victory. He has seen off Kamala Harris, a patently mediocre woman of the soft Left who champions woke causes. I am very far from delighted. In fact, I’m profoundly depressed.

Many people on the Right in Britain are delighted by Donald Trump’s victory. He has seen off Kamala Harris, a patently mediocre woman of the soft Left who champions woke causes. I am very far from delighted. In fact, I’m profoundly depressed. There is good reason to believe that Trump will be bad for America, the world and Britain. Of course, we don’t have very much idea what he will do since such policies as he unveiled during the presidential campaign were pretty vague, and may never see the light of day.
