I'm sure Steph Curry and Klay Thompson were looking over their shoulders in the Three-Point Contest.  They couldn't ignore him.  LeBron James could, but he hasn't. After participating in Team USA's training camp, LeBron James is convinced Booker will be a perennial All-Star for the Suns.  Here's what King James said about D-Book in the 90-minute Uninterrupted podcast:
“That no one knows about? You know, what? I’m going to be honest. If it’s someone who is under the radar right now that I believe is going to be a really, really, really good, All-Star player in the league — it’s Devin Booker from the Phoenix Suns.”
The praise doesn't get much better, especially when you get it from a guy who you (kinda) punched in the face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avTfcW-KSek w
