Wait a minute. No Michael Jordan?
Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker named Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal when asked his all-time starting five.
"Kobe, LeBron, KD, Steph and Shaq," Booker said on a TikTok video posted on the enjoybball account via chickenwrapcharger.
Wearing a black baseball cap on backwards with a gray polo shirt, Booker appears to be at a golf course signing something as he's sitting in a golf cart with what looks like a scorecard on the steering wheel.
The headline on the video says "Devin Booker Gives His All-Time Starting Five."
After Booker gave his five, a kid responded by saying, "Good lineup."
Hate to assume, but the same kid likely asked the question.
Booker played with Curry, James and Durant in the 2024 Paris Olympics as Team USA won gold.
Booker and Durant were teammates in Phoenix for three seasons and captured Olympic gold together in 2021 in Tokyo.
As for O'Neal, hard to argue against selecting the most physically dominant center ever outside of Wilt Chamberlain.
However, Booker didn't name Jordan, who is widely considered the greatest to ever play the game.
It's understandable in this sense.
Booker became close with Bryant after entering the NBA in 2015. He had 'Be Legendary' tattooed on his arm in March of 2020. Bryant autographed the message on a pair of shoes for Booker in 2016.
Bryant passed away in a helicopter crash in January 2020.
