Steph Curry and Devin Booker: The NBA's newest dynamic duo or just a fun off-court friendship?

“He was our unsung MVP.” With Devin Booker wholeheartedly accepting a diminished role to help Team USA bag gold in Paris, Steve Kerr publicly acknowledged his impact on the team. Moreover, the international trip also sparked rumors of a possible Devin Booker and Stephen Curry team-up in the future, as their bond reportedly grew much stronger while they were playing together in the Olympics. Adding more fuel to these rumors, Booker and Steph shared another bonding moment this weekend, which has left the fans craving for more.

Although there are still a few weeks before the NBA season tips off, WNBA action has kept the hoop fanatics engaged. And as the Liberty faced the Aces on Sunday, several stars showed up at the Barclays Center to witness the thrilling encounter. But what caught everyone’s attention was Stephen Curry and Devin Booker, who were in attendance for the game, dapping each other up and indulging in a wholesome conversation.

Ever since the Paris Olympics, the duo’s friendship has been in the limelight. While they were in London for the showcase games, Steph and Booker even arrived in the same car from a session of golf. Meanwhile, the rest of their teammates took individual cars. Imagine the heartwarming sight where Chef Curry has his ‘Wardell 30’ and D Book has his Red Wings golf bag, and the two stars are bonding over golf and basketball. On top of that, Steph even backed head coach Steve Kerr calling Booker the “Unsung MVP” of the Olympics as he shared the quote on his IG story and wrote, “Damn Straight!!!” Sure enough, fans cannot wait to see the two superstars join forces once again.

NBA World requests Stephen Curry and Devin Booker NBA team up

Well, we have seen it in the Olympics. But fans want to see it happen in the NBA as well. Especially after their latest link-up in New York. As the two superstars interacted at the Aces vs. Liberty game, one fan pointed out, “The Olympics were a real BFF bonding session.” Surely, spending nearly six weeks together, from training camp to the gold medal game, would turn any bond stronger.

Meanwhile, another hopeful fan imagined what it would be like if Steph and Booker became teammates. While Steph acknowledged the Suns superstar as the “Unsung MVP”, Booker reciprocated the gesture by saying, “He’s the best shooter to ever live!” And the two could form arguably the most lethal backcourt in the league with their offensive versatility.

 

One netizen even claimed that Curry and Kerr taught Booker how he could be the next Klay Thompson during their Paris trip. Well, under Kerr’s leadership, Booker did play the three and D role, which Klay played for most of his career in Golden State.

 

Meanwhile, another fan wondered if Klay noticed the wholesome interaction between Steph and Booker. Well, the now-Mavs star was also in attendance at Sunday’s game and Steph’s friendly interaction with the Suns star might have made him a bit nostalgic about his Warriors’ days.

And one fan claimed that Kerr was attempting to recruit Booker during the Olympics. However, it is unlikely to happen based on their current situation. As of now, Booker is tied with the Suns for the next four years.

Moreover, by the time Booker becomes a free agent, Steph will be 40 years old and could likely have hung his boots by then. So, while fans desperately want to see it happen, the Devin Booker and Stephen Curry team-up might never materialize. Do you want to see the two superstars join forces?
