No Matter What He Does, the NBA’s Perception of Devin Booker Works Against Him

No matter what Devin Booker does, the NBA’s perception of him continues to work against him.

Despite elite scoring, winning seasons, and deep playoff runs, Booker is still treated differently by national media, officials, and even fans across the league. Why does the narrative never seem to catch up to the reality on the court? And how does that perception impact foul calls, All-NBA voting, MVP conversations, and the way opponents defend him?

In this video, we break down:

• Why Devin Booker still isn’t respected like other NBA superstars
• How media narratives shape league-wide perception
• Whether officiating and reputation hurt Booker in key moments
• What Booker still has to do — if anything — to change the conversation
• How this perception affects the Phoenix Suns’ ceiling

If you’re a Suns fan or follow the NBA closely, this is a discussion you can’t ignore.
