With Kevin Durant’s return reportedly days away, the Suns are inching closer to proving whether or not they can live up to the hype of being labeled as the NBA’s next superteam. Except, if you ask Devin Booker, who believes Phoenix, despite its potential lineup, does not belong in such a conversation.
During a media session on Thursday, Booker fielded a question asking about the Suns being a superteam with the pending addition of the recently-acquired Durant to a lineup that also includes Chris Paul, and DeAndre Ayton. To many, the “Big 4” has already positioned Phoenix as both title contenders and a contender on the list of all-time superteams but, in Booker’s eyes, the team does not deserve the latter label for a big reason.
“We only had one All-Star this year, that was KD,” Booker said, referencing Durant–a 2022 All-Star starter–being the team’s only All-Star this season.
