Devin Booker’s epic take on saving Barack Obama from Nikola Jokic
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker added another personal accolade after helping the All-Stars win the All-Star Game title at the Intuit Dome on Sunday.
29 year old Booker was the oldest member of Team Starswhich was made up of the league’s best young players, including Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey and Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren, among others.
During their match against Team World, Booker showed his experience, but in a different way.
Nikola Jokic lost control and could have crashed into the former president Barack Obamawho enjoyed playing on the field. Luckily, Booker lovingly pushed Jokic out of the way, earning a smile from Obama. Booker mugged Obama before they hugged.
On Instagram, Booker had clever description for his smart move.
“Secret Service,” the Suns star wrote.
The fans were all for Booker’s announcement.
“The D-Book for the President,” @vonn.2skii said.
“BHM (Black History Month) cookie points,” @d_rench added.
“Next ad! This was no accident. It fits the Book2 campaign perfectly,” suggested @mizterkool.
“Why are you so different, Book?” @thebogoshov asked.
“Obama was about to play 😂😂❤❤,” @darlingnikki0616 commented.
“Top security,” @austinfritts1 posted.
NBA legend Rip Hamilton also reacted, posting four fiery emojis.
Obama was among the special guests at the All-Star Game. He too shared a moment with Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchellwho played for Team Stripes. He even hilariously roasted NBA icon Reggie Miller during the interview.
Obama is quite familiar with Booker, having spent time with Team USA before they competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Also, the former president is a huge basketball fan, so he certainly knows the NBA’s biggest stars.
