Durant is a Washington, D.C. native and fan of the Commanders. Booker is a Michigan native and fan of the Detroit Lions. Their teams are set to play Saturday in Detroit in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs — the same day the Suns are in town to play the Pistons.

Book has had everything handed to him since James Jones arrived. Promising new rookies. (Josh Jackson, Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson). All-time great veterans (Chris Paul, Durant and Beal). New coaches (Monty Williams, Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer). The franchise has even upgraded the locker room and practice facility.
