The NBA World has been buzzing since 4-time NBA Champion LeBron James expressed his desire to lead Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Fans are hoping to witness the reincarnation of the Redeem Team. Many NBA superstars’ names have been thrown in the mix to team up with King James and bring glory back to the United States of America. Several NBA Champions, including Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green, are interested in playing alongside The Akron Hammer.

But LeBron’s former Lakers teammate Kyle Kuzma raised a major concern with the expected Superstar lineup for next year’s Summer Olympics. Fortunately, $258,672,200 rich Phoenix Suns franchise player Devin Booker addressed the concern by stepping up to play a new role under the leadership of King James and Chef Curry.

Devin Booker is the pillar of the Phoenix Suns Organization. The 26-year-old superstar is set to make $258,672,200 over the next 5 seasons from his Suns contract. Being the primary scorer in his team, fans expect him to play a similar role if he signs up for next year’s Summer Olympics. But Washington Wizards Forward Kyle Kuzma raised a concern on his Twitter, “USA basketball better get some NBA stars that know how to play a role. Anybody can be nice with the ball in their hands but can you be cool with defending and going to the corner for a few possessions?”

Devin Booker did not hesitate to take the responsibility and responded to Kuz, “I’ll do it.” Book is ready to play the 3&D role in the star-studded Olympics team if it means to play under the leadership of legends like LeBron and Steph. Considering the Team USA roster is going to be full of players who are used to being the first or second option in their team, Kuz felt that the team lacked good role players who would be ready to take a backseat while their teammates shine.

Players will follow when LeBron and Steph lead

King James has been the face of the NBA for over two decades. And, Chef Curry has revolutionized the game of basketball with his unique skillset. The two NBA legends are highly respected by the NBA community and young players like Devin Booker would love to follow the lead of the two Champions, even if it means playing a lesser role in the team.

If a superstar like Devin Booker follows through with his promise and plays the role of a 3&D player, the rest of the world would be in big trouble. Book is one of the best shooting guards in the league, and the competition will have no answer for Team USA if one of the best players in the league becomes the fifth scoring option in the squad.
