Madison Booker is an incredible player for Texas, but her game might look kind of familiar.
She's an assassin from midrange, just like another Longhorns star who exploded in March Madness.
That's right, the comparisons to Kevin Durant are there, and they're not accidental. She's a big fan of his, which is why she wears No. 35.
Back in 2024, Durant had this to say, via the Austin American-Statesman: "Future is bright. As a freshman, she's got so much more to do, but she's already staking claim in this league right now and she's going to be even better as she moves forward."
Looks like they met back in February, too, which is awesome:

Super cool.
Are Madison Booker and Devin Booker related?
Nope. That would be cool for KD's teammate to be related to Madison but, nope!
