Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has established himself as one of the best scorers in the league. After years of mediocrity, Booker led the Suns to its first NBA Finals in almost three decades in 2021. With the likes of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal joining Booker, Phoenix is the favorite to win it all next season. However, that is not the only thing the Suns fans will be looking forward to. The $2.7 billion worth franchise recently made a massive announcement about commemorating two of the best players in Phoenix history. Even Booker gave the update a sign of approval.

Devin Booker enjoys a heavy following on his Instagram page with 5.5 million followers. He would be hoping to emulate the two franchise legends over his career as well.

Devin Booker Hails Two Of The Best Phoenix Suns players

Jersey retirement is one of the most revered traditions in American sports. It gives credence to the star’s contributions to a particular franchise. Recently, it was revealed that the Phoenix Suns are set to retire two more numbers in honor of two of the best players in franchise history.

Shawn Marion and Amar’e Stoudemire will enter the rafters next season. Marion was a power forward who was nicknamed the Matrix and brought an immense amount of honor to the city of Phoenix through his effortless defensive capabilities. On the other hand, Amar’e Stoudemire won the Rookie of the Year award in 2003 and was a 6x All-Star.
