Sacrifice is all too common for NBA players. For instance, Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker was the unsung MVP of Team USA because of his selfless play. As a result, Carmelo Anthony sees that as a detriment to the Suns' guard.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is having a down year by his standards, and the team is struggling around him. Carmelo Anthony thinks he knows why. In the latest “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast, Anthony theorized that Booker has tried to tweak his game after spending time with Team USA at the Olympics last summer.

Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns are running out of time to figure things out. With eight games to play, the Suns (35–39) are one game behind the Dallas Mavericks (36–38) for the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference—the final spot in the play-in tournament.
