He was then traded to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/la-clippers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LA Clippers</a> in 2011 where he had the iconic Lob City team up with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. They became one of the best teams in the league and were also very entertaining to watch. But lack of postseason success still followed Paul who was subsequently traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/houston-rockets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Houston Rockets</a> in 2017.

He joined forces with James Harden, and almost led them to the NBA Finals, but then he got injured sadly. He played just two seasons before the Rockets traded him to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>.

In spite of leading in the Finals, the Suns lost to the Bucks.

In the 2021-22 season, Paul has been the protagonist in the build-up play for Phoenix, in spite of not putting up the best numbers. Needless to say, the side is performing exceedingly well.

Devin Booker has an estimated net worth of $30 million, according to reports. In his eight years long career so far, Booker has reportedly amassed over $130 million in NBA salaries alone.

As per reports, he earns around $8 million per year from endorsements.
<h2><b>Devin Booker’s early life </b></h2>
Devin Booker was born on October 30, 1996, in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he spent most of his childhood. Booker followed in the footsteps of his father from a very early age and started playing basketball. After his freshman year at Grandville High School, Booker moved to Mississippi to live with his father. A young Devin enrolled at Moss Point High School where his father joined as an assistant basketball coach. Furthermore, it was his father's alma mater. After an impressive high school career, Booker committed to the University of Kentucky in 2014. He then declared for the 2015 NBA draft after one year of college basketball.
<h2><b>Devin Booker’s family and personal life</b></h2>
Devin Booker is the only child of Veronica Gutiérrez, a cosmetologist and Melvin Booker, a professional basketball player. Melvin played college basketball for the University of Missouri from 1990 to 1994. After a small stint in the NBA, he mostly played overseas basketball. After Melvin returned to the country, Devin moved in with him to be coached by his father. It worked wonders for the young guard as he soon became one of the best high school players in the country.

Devin Booker has been in romantic relationships with celebrities like Jade Ramey, Jordyn Woods, and Kendall Jenner.

The two have been spotted together multiple times in public. It looks like Booker is currently single. However, he was recently seen having dinner with actress Jenna Ortega, which have sparked some rumors.
<h2><b>Devin Booker’s career</b></h2>
Under the tutelage of his father, Melvin Booker, Devin Booker became one of the top prospects in the country. Booker played three years for Moss Point High School, where he became the school's All-Time leading scorer. After graduating high school in 2013, the talented star received multiple college offers.

The Phoenix Suns selected Booker as the 13th overall pick in the draft. He came off the bench initially but soon sealed the starting spot with his performances. He quickly became one of the best players for the Suns and was 4th in the Rookie of the Year voting that year. Booker continued his upward trajectory in the league and had an 8-point jump in points average in his sophomore season. D-Book then became one of the best young talents in the league with an almost unstoppable mid-range game. In 2020, he made his first All-Star team appearance and has been a mainstay ever since.

Booker can be considered to be one of the most durable and consistent stars in the league. Even though his injury layoffs have hurt the team in the playoffs, Booker has not had any major setbacks so far, playing day in and day out. The shooting guard led the Suns to the 2020-21 NBA Finals for the first time since 1992-93. Unfortunately, the Suns could not clinch the title against the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/">Milwaukee Bucks</a>.

In his eight years long career so far, Booker has reportedly amassed over $130 million in NBA salaries alone. After signing a massive contract extension last year, he will receive $33 million for the current season. Other than his salary, Booker makes a lot from his endorsement deals. As per reports, he earns around $8 million per year from endorsements. Devin Booker’s early life  Devin Booker was born on October 30, 1996, in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he spent most of his childhood.

Melvin played college basketball for the University of Missouri from 1990 to 1994. After a small stint in the NBA, he mostly played overseas basketball.

LeBron James&#8217; rings Over his illustrious 20-year career (and counting), James has won four NBA championships. He has led three different franchises &#8211; the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Lakers &#8211; to NBA titles. James&#8217; first title came in 2012 with the Heat, when he won his first Finals MVP award, followed by a second consecutive title in 2013.

LeBron James&#8217; shoe deals LeBron James signed a huge deal with Nike even before he entered the NBA. As James&#8217; superstardom rose, he became one of the most important faces of the brand, with his line of signature shoes, which is in its 20th version now. The four-time NBA MVP signed a lifetime deal with Nike in 2015 for an undisclosed fee. LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason. Former teammate Dwyane Wade once revealed that James is one of the cheapest players in the league despite being one of the richest. However, James knows how to spend his fortune in style. And when it comes to where he lives, the King does not compromise. According to reports, LeBron owns multiple properties in California, Ohio, and Miami, that are worth a combined estimated value of $100 million. LeBron James&#8217; car collection LeBron James is known for having an extensive collection of cars, estimated to be worth over $2 million. Some of the standouts include a Chevy Camaro SS, a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Dodge Challenger SRT 392. He also owns a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a 720-horsepower V12 supercar. Another notable element of his collection is a Mercedes luxury sedan, the Maybach S650, worth around $200,000. Notably, after teaming up with Shaquille O&#8217;Neal in Cleveland, Shaq gifted LeBron a Rolls Royce Phantom for his 25th birthday. The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.
