Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has finally addressed the growing comparisons between him and NBA Hall of Famer Reggie Miller. As Booker continues to establish himself as one of the premier scorers in the league, fans and analysts have drawn parallels between his sharpshooting ability and Miller’s iconic status as one of the greatest shooters of all time. However, Booker has responded to the comparisons with humility and respect for the legacy Miller left behind.
When asked about the comparisons, Booker acknowledged that while it’s flattering to be mentioned alongside a player of Miller’s caliber, he prefers to carve his own path. “Reggie is a legend. What he did for the game, especially in terms of shooting and how he performed in big moments, speaks for itself,” Booker commented in a recent interview. “I have nothing but respect for him, but I’m focused on being the best version of myself, and that’s all I can control.”
Miller, who spent his entire career with the Indiana Pacers, was known for his clutch performances, especially in playoff situations, and for his ability to shoot the three-pointer under pressure. Booker, in comparison, has developed a reputation as one of the league’s deadliest shooters and scorers, with a smooth jump shot and an ability to score from anywhere on the court.
Despite the comparison, Booker is quick to note the differences between their styles. While Miller was primarily a three-point specialist, Booker’s offensive game is more well-rounded, including mid-range shots, drives to the basket, and playmaking.
While fans may continue to debate the comparison, Booker’s focus remains on leading the Suns and building his own legacy. For him, being in the conversation with someone like Reggie Miller is an honor, but his eyes are set on the future and what more he can achieve in his career.
