Devin Booker and Mike Budenholzer weigh in their thoughts as the former gains All-Time status

Devin Booker led from the front on Monday night as the former Kentucky star dropped 34 points during his team's overtime loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite the result, the night was of huge significance for Booker who became the all-time leading scorer for the franchise.

The loss in Oregon was undermined by the Michigan native's career highlight as he weighed in on the honor of being the Sun's greatest points scorer:

"It means everything, just being drafted to a franchise that believed in me, taking a chance on me as an 18-year-old kid and going through a rebuild phase and just sticking with it. Keeping my head down. The love and support has always been there. I don't take it for granted. I take it seriously putting 'Phoenix' across my chest," Booker expressed.

Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer also gave his take on Booker's historic moment:

"The city loves Devin, He's the all-time leading scorer for the Phoenix Suns, He's our guy. He's special. A really, really special night for Book." Mike expressed proudly.

Booker reached the milestone in 125 fewer games than Walter Davis, who held the franchise record of 15,666 points in 766 games.
