Yet another day, and yet another NBA superstar, shows up in the MLB playoffs to lend his support. If it was Dirk Nowitzki’s turn to bring in Luka Doncic for the Houston Astros game, Devin Booker was all by himself for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Will D-Book’s presence bring good luck to the D-Backs?
As the Houston Astros clawed their way from a 1-2 deficit to a 3-2 dominance, will it be the D-Back’s turn to show that grit and make this series more interesting? If not, the Phillies will walk away with 3-1 supremacy.

The Phillies have played 120 consecutive seasons since the establishment of the first World Series in 1903. The Diamondbacks were established only in the year 1995. Yet for the 2 World Series title wins for the Phillies, the D-Backs have one.
This series gives them an opportunity to play for the ultimate glory. And by the look of things, they might be facing the Houston Astros, who just need one more win to play for the title.
Devin Booker and all the celebrity fans of the Arizona team are showing their support. D-Book, who is channeling his inner Shaq in the below post, wants the Diamondbacks to capitalize on the momentum that they have gained from their last win.

It was only the third time in the MLB history that a playoff game was won by Walkoff. The Diamondbacks had to come up with that kind of performance to get their first win in the series. But they are still in the woods and would have to win this game too to level up the series. As the fifth inning ends, the Phillies and the D-Backs are on equal footing with a 2-2 scorecard.

Luka Doncic and Devin Booker are going against each other with their support for their MLB teams. And if the post-seasons are to be compared, they have already seen each other a couple of times, with Luka drawing first blood.
The Suns and the Mavericks
But Devin Booker looks deadlier than ever, as he has 2 scoring superstars to play alongside him, while Luka only has Kyrie. With Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal in the Lineup, can Devin Booker create history for the Phoenix team, that has never won an NBA title?
