Mat Ishbia on Devin Booker: He means so much to the Arizona community, the Phoenix community, and he knows that. But on top of that, you know, when you find out who your real friends are when everyone else turns their back on you. And so when we went through some tough times, you know, it'd be easy after we a new owner comes in, we try to spend money, we try to do things and we didn't win. It'd be easier for that franchise player to be like, "Hey man, I put my time in. I'm ready to go." Instead, he did the reverse. He said, "Listen, I'm with you, Matt. I believe in what we're doing. I'm all in with you. I'll even sign an extension. Like, I want to be here with you. Let's go do this." He's had my back. I'll always have his back. It's been special. And so very, very lucky to have him.
