LeBron James gives Devin Booker perfect gift after Suns' Game 6 win

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 6/4/21

LeBron James couldn't help but tip his hat to Devin Booker after the Phoenix Suns star's tremendous performance on Thursday.

After the Suns beat the Lakers 113-100 in a series-clinching Game 6, James met with Booker off the court to give him a signed jersey.

"Continue to be great," James wrote on the jersey.

Booker was electric in Game 6, leading the Suns from the get-go with a record-setting 22-point first-quarter performance. He finished with a playoff career-high 47 points, 11 rebounds and three assists in 46 minutes.

James, meanwhile, had an impressive performance of his own, notching 29 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in 41 minutes.

However, without Anthony Davis, who left the game with a groin injury after only playing five minutes, James and the rest of the Lakers showed little resistance to a Suns squad that is on to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since the 2009-10 campaign.
