I’m going to say this once. The ONLY reason Booker made it even this far is because of Durant. The ONLY reason reason Booker got the looks, the freedom to make those plays, is because of Durant. Joke of a franchise thinking a super team was going to give them an edge over a true MVP team. Durant was being used.
