Devin Booker is drawing fresh attention ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season after leaving Michael Jordan off his all-time starting five. The Phoenix Suns star’s choice has quickly become a talking point because Jordan is so often included in debates about the greatest basketball players ever.
Booker’s all-time lineup decision is likely to fuel more discussion among NBA fans as comparisons across eras continue to dominate basketball conversation. Any notable omission involving Jordan tends to spark strong reactions, and Booker’s selection is no exception.
At the same time, Booker has also been in the spotlight off the court after reports about a new relationship with supermodel Irina Shayk emerged. That added attention has kept his name in the news even before the new campaign gets underway.
With the season still ahead, Booker now finds himself at the center of both basketball debate and celebrity headlines. For the Suns guard, an opinion about an all-time starting five has become another reason he is being closely watched as the next NBA season approaches.
