Devin Booker has to be a better leader

Being the best player on an NBA team comes with a lot of perks.
You’re the starlet headliner of your squad’s enterprises — the celebrated face and namesake behind its most glorious feats.
You’re generally a well-protected commodity between the lines, and referees are oftentimes quicker to blow their whistle in your favor.
And more often than not, your on-court production will reap beneficial off-court dividends in the form of gaudy financial lump sums.
It’s quite the fanciful life.
But it doesn’t come without a tremendous amount of hard work — including carrying the brunt of your team’s praises or criticisms on your shoulders.
