Devin Booker is well-known as a promising young player for the Nike brand and as one of the top shotmakers in the NBA right now.
During the highly anticipated USA Basketball vs. Serbia showcase game, Devin Booker of the Suns wore a fresh pair of Nike Book 1 sneakers in white and blue.
Team USA’s guard rotation features Booker among other key players like Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves, Stephen Curry of the Warriors, Jrue Holiday of the Celtics, etc. The new blue and white hue is a perfect complement, staying true to the colors seen on USA Basketball jerseys.
Images of the sneakers were posted on social media by the Phoenix Suns’ X account.An Instagram story of the four-time NBA All-Star in his stylish new kicks was also reposted by USA Basketball.
Booker may have shot 1-for-3 in the exhibition game and finished with just 3 points, but he helped his team advance the ball and played excellent defense.
He has maintained the same level of energy in the showcase matches as he did during Team USA’s historic 2020 Olympic gold medal run, when he was one of the top on-ball defenders.
After a nail-biting 98-92 win over Australia, Devin Booker admonished Team USA to work on their weaknesses.The United States of America had a different appearance in their prior exhibition game against Australia, but they showed signs of dominance in today’s 105-79 victory over Serbia.
Team USA’s initial 15-point lead in the fourth quarter was reduced to a just six points with 5 minutes and five minutes to go in the game. U.S. dominance in their showcase program continues with a narrow victory, despite a spirited final stretch.
The 86-72 victory over Canada was a complete departure from their performance here.
Following the game, Devin Booker emphasized the victory as a pressing issue to assess and address the team’s weaknesses, according to Joe Vardon of The Athletic.
In his statement, Booker acknowledged that time was not on their side. “We have to clean things up quickly, and playing like we did in the second half today … we will not win a gold medal.”The squad hasn’t been sensational recently, but when they’re on, they show signs of becoming very dominant on the basketball floor.
Changes to the team’s chemistry will be critical in the next days due to the abundance of offensive studs and versatile players on the roster.
Some NBA players will need to be able to put in more time away from their regular duties if they want to win the championship.
