When Booker was snubbed as an initial selection for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game, James tweeted that Booker is the most disrespected player in the league.
For years, Booker was known as an empty calories scorer — the type of player who could score 70 points in a game and still not be able to lead his team to a win.
Booker scored 47 points to eliminate the Lakers in Game 6 of their first round playoff series, ending the Lakers’ bid to repeat as champions earlier than anyone anticipated.
Part of this feels like a marketing ploy for this summer’s Space Jam sequel, where James wears No.
But in the event that he ever decides to sell the jersey, it could go for some real coin.
