Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant recently took some time to reflect on his experience playing alongside Devin Booker and Bradley Beal on the Phoenix Suns. The talented basketball trio joined forces during the 2020-2021 NBA season, forming a dynamic team that was a force to be reckoned with on the court. As the season comes to a close, Durant couldn’t help but express his admiration for his teammates and the unforgettable memories they created together.
Durant, who was acquired by the Rockets last year, was no stranger to Booker and Beal’s skills on the court. Being a fellow NBA star, he had always admired their talent and was excited to get the chance to play with them. And from the moment the three of them stepped on the court as teammates, it was clear that the chemistry between them was undeniable.
In a recent interview, Durant shared his thoughts on playing alongside Booker and Beal. “It’s been an amazing experience. I’ve always known Devin and Bradley as incredible players, but being their teammate has given me a whole new perspective. They are not only talented on the court, but they are also amazing human beings. It has been an honor to share the court with them.”
Durant and Booker, in particular, developed a strong bond both on and off the court. They constantly pushed each other to be the best versions of themselves, and their camaraderie was evident in their seamless gameplay. “Playing with Devin was truly a blessing. He has such a passion for the game, and his dedication to improving himself every day inspired me. We were always on the same page on the court, and I think our chemistry speaks for itself,” Durant shared.
The addition of Beal to the team only made the Rockets even more formidable. Beal’s versatile play style and sharp shooting skills complemented Durant and Booker perfectly. Together, they effortlessly dominated the court, earning the respect and admiration of the entire league.
But it wasn’t just their skills that made playing with Booker and Beal special for Durant. The bond they formed off the court was just as important. From team dinners to late-night practice sessions, the three of them became more than just teammates; they became brothers. “Off the court, we shared some unforgettable moments. From celebrating a win to lifting each other up during tough times, we were always there for each other. I’ll always cherish the memories we made as teammates,” Durant fondly reminisced.
Durant also had nothing but praises for the Phoenix Suns organization, which he believes played a significant role in bringing the team together. “The Suns organization is top-notch. Everything from the facilities to the coaching staff was exceptional. They provided us with everything we needed to succeed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to be a part of.”
Even though the Rockets’ season didn’t end as they had hoped, Durant believes this experience with Booker and Beal will have a lasting impact on his career. “I’ve learned so much from these two incredible players. They have pushed me to be a better player, leader, and teammate. I’m grateful for the opportunity to play alongside them, and I know that this experience will help me grow as a player in the future.”
As the season draws to a close, Durant, Booker, and Beal will part ways as they return to their respective teams. But their bond will remain strong, and they will continue to support each other both on and off the court. Durant’s time with the Phoenix Suns may have been short, but the memories and friendships made will last a lifetime. And who knows, with the NBA being as unpredictable as it is, we may see these three stars on the same team again in the future. Until then, the Houston Rockets star will carry with him the lessons and memories he gained from playing alongside Devin Booker and Bradley Beal with pride and gratitude.
