First, it was LeBron James, then it was Larry Nance Jr. This time, it is former Boston Celtics star Jared Sullinger who is furious with the disrespect Devin Booker gets. Devin Booker is one of the most talented and promising U25 players in the NBA. However, he has been excluded from the ‘best 25-under-25 list’.

Phoenix Suns star guard Devin Booker has been in Phoenix since 2015. He made a quick impact on the Suns and made it to the All Rookies First Team. He is now a two-time NBA All-Star. All this and he’s still 24 and still has a lot of peak years ahead of him. However, he has been disrespected on many occasions.

Earlier this year, ESPN released the list of 25-under-25, and Booker was placed eighth on the list. While Booker made it to the top 25 here but it still felt disrespectful towards him as per Larry Nance Jr.

Larry took to Twitter to react to the list by saying: “Why’re we still disrespecting Book.” Booker will turn 25 later this month on 30th October. He started all 67 games he played last season for the Suns and averaged 35.6 PPG, 4.6 APG, and 3.7 RPG.
