"He had the highest-scoring game in the NBA since Bryant scored 81 in January 2006" 2016 not 2006. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.21.193 (talk) 00:45, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kobe Bryant did not score 81 points in 2016. He scored 60 points in his final game in 2016 and 81 points in 2006. —DangerousJXD (talk) 02:10, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"On November 23, 2019, Booker almost put up a triple-double with 35 points, a career-high 12 rebounds, and 9 assists" **Where I'm from we call this a double double, 9 assists in not a double** — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.82.184.77 (talk) 19:11, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re-Grading This Article[edit]

Um, may I ask how I can get some re-gradings for an article going? I mean, I can understand having his college level performance remain at a rather low level (after all, he was a sixth man for Kentucky in his only season there), but I would think his biography and presence in the NBA has improved quite a bit to at least improve upon his importance now, if not improve the grade of his article as a whole. Just let me know how I can ask for a re-grade, and we'll go from there, thank you very much. - AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 20:38, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update Profile Picture[edit]

I think it's time for an update on his profile picture. Can't we get a picture of him in his Professional Basketball team uniform, which is the Phoenix Suns and not Kentucky? I'm surprised this hasn't been updated while every other Professional player have update pictures in their current team uniform. It's time to upgrade Devin from Kentucky to Phoenix Suns. Someone please work on this, thank you. - JoshuaTree87 (talk) 24:09, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update Profile Picture[edit]

We gotta do him dirty like that?? I know for a fact there's 100 different pictures in a Suns uniform that look a lot better than that lol, show Dbook some love — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tropappardoraj (talk • contribs) 23:37, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Roots[edit]

I updated his family roots, using best available recent references. Grandfather from Mexico; no direct P.R. heritage. Beyond that no definitive info on mom's heritage other than her dad from MX. Ref. 6, mother's quote: "I have a very traditional tight Mexican family on my father’s side..." Mwinog2777 (talk) 20:39, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For his personal life- his sister has a genetic condition called 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome formerly known as Digeorge Syndrome. It is the second most common genetic condition second only to Down Syndrome.

Not done What Booker's sister has is not really relevant to his BLP. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:19, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RandomCanadian: I've removed the names of some of the non-notable family members already in the article. Booker was named a global ambassador to the Special Olympics because of his relationship to his sister, so I think it's fine to include for that reason (I explained it in the article). Regarding the specific condition she has, it seems most sources say it is microdeletion syndrome rather than the (more well known) 22q11.2 deletion syndrome that the IP and that source mentioned, so I didn't change it. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 01:55, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
