Booker achieved this milestone with a stunning 23-foot three-pointer during the third quarter of the game. This record is particularly significant as Davis held the title since April 5, 1986. With Booker now at the helm, he joins an elite group of active players who have become the all-time scoring leaders for their franchise. The list includes players like Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
As he navigates his 10th season in the NBA, all spent with the Suns, Booker continues to defy the odds, averaging 24.4 points per game and achieving the record in just 642 games. This season has been equally good for him. He is averaging 25.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 6.8 assists this season.
