Hard to say because he was injured both times in a playoff ending series.
Horse manure. There’s literally zero proof he was injured either year.

He jumped on a flight and played IMMEDIATELY in the Olympics. You don’t do that with a bad hammy and Pop sure as hell ain’t playing someone with a bum hammy.

I think it's fair to say at this point that Book can't be the best player on a championship team. He'd need to take another step or two.
How is it fair to say that? He almost was. Because he's lost two playoff series? I remember hearing the same thing about Giannis as recently as the series against Brooklyn last year. Now he's the consensus best player alive.

In before someone points out that Booker is no Giannis.

And I agree, Devin is not on G's level but your point is still valid.

I agree. They aren't on the same level, 2x MVP vs. 1x all nba.

As you seem to have surmised, I just wanted to illustrate how the public's perception of a player can change rather quickly.

I heard a stat

In game 7 Booker only took 6 shots before they got down 40

On Solar Panel they were talking about how Paul and Booker looked totally checked out before game 7. They brought up the lack of attempts by both

Come on... look back at the film. Dallas' game plan was "let anyone but Booker get a look". He was double teamed and trapped almost every single time he got the ball in the first half. It is a wonder he got off 6 shots. Unfortunately, none of the other guys stepped up. We got lots of open looks but guys either bricked, chickened out and passed the ball or drove at the hoop into a swarm of guys trying to cause a turnover.
