“Devin Booker has truly been a sensational talent his entire career”: NBA Twitter congratulate the Suns' guard for joining LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and others as the 7th-youngest player to score 10K points

Scoring 38 points in the Suns’ 115-97 win over the Thunder, Devin Booker becomes the 7th-youngest player in NBA history to record 10,000 career points.

Devin Booker has been a prolific scorer his entire career. Ever since the former Kentucky Wildcat set foot onto the NBA hardwood, he was a huge threat for defenders across the league. Scoring 70 points as a young 20-year-old, is just one of the many marvelous feats the Phoenix Suns star has achieved in his career.

This Wednesday night too, Devin reached one more historic milestone. Dropping 38 points on a 50/50/80 shooting split in Phoenix’s 115-97 win over OKC, Booker, at 25 years, 60 days old, now becomes the only 7th-youngest player in NBA history to score 10,000 career points. He trails the likes of some all-time legends like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Tracy McGrady, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

“Honestly, this one means a lot. I give thanks to all my teammates, all my coaches who have put me the situation to be able to make this.”
