Phoenix Suns’ Acquisition of Kevin Durant Sparks Excitement in the Valley

Phoenix, AZ – When the Phoenix Suns secured the services of Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets last year, it ignited a wave of excitement among fans in the Valley of the Sun.

One person particularly thrilled about Durant’s arrival was Suns’ star Devin Booker. Booker had long harbored ambitions of assembling a super team in Phoenix, and the addition of Durant, alongside Bradley Beal, seemed to bring that dream to fruition.

While the Suns’ championship prospects with their new star trio remain to be seen, the chemistry between Booker and Durant, both on and off the court, has been a joy to witness.

Booker recently shared his thoughts on playing alongside Durant during an appearance on “The Old Man & The Three” podcast with JJ Redick. Reflecting on Durant’s renowned work ethic, Booker expressed admiration for his teammate’s dedication to his craft.

“As a long-time fan, it’s surreal to now be playing alongside Kevin Durant,” Booker remarked. “I remember tweeting in 2011 that Durant was my favorite player, although LeBron was the best. It’s funny how things come full circle. Hearing stories about Kevin’s relentless work ethic and his passion for the game, and then seeing it firsthand, has been incredible. It’s clear that basketball is his sole focus, and that aligns perfectly with my own mentality.”

The synergy between Booker and Durant extends beyond their shared passion for the game, providing a promising foundation for the Suns as they strive for success in the NBA.
