Devin Booker has been enjoying his time in Paris in the last 48 hours, as he and Team USA secured the win in the gold medal game of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Earlier today, Devin Booker was seen stepping out of an unnamed club in Paris after presumably partying. Booker signed a fan’s jersey before getting on a bicycle and heading back to the hotel.
Devin Booker had fun at the club and left early on his bicycle 😅

Devin Booker was clearly enjoying his time in Paris, and having a great time celebrating the win. Booker and Team USA didn’t get to enjoy their 2020 Olympic gold medal win by partying due to the COVID-19 restrictions in Tokyo. So Booker may just be partying to make up for last time.
Booker was one of the more consistent performers for Team USA during the Olympics. He got a lot of consistent minutes, averaging about 22.0 minutes a game, with 11.7 points per game, 2.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 0.5 assists. Booker started several games, showing that he had earned the trust of Steve Kerr and his coaching staff.
Kerr actually praised Booker after Team USA’s win at the Olympics, dubbing him the team’s ‘unsung hero’ at the tournament. And there is a lot of merit to what Kerr is saying. Booker was perhaps Team USA’s best young player, as he is still just 27 years old, but was trusted to be a consistent starter on the squad.
With his second gold medal win now, Booker could have the chance to make it a threepeat in 2028, as he is still young enough to represent Team USA at the Los Angeles Olympics. Getting to win a gold medal in your home country might be an opportunity Booker could pass up.
What Is Tougher To Win – Olympic Gold Or NBA Championship?
Devin Booker is one of the younger players in the NBA entering his prime and is looking to become one of the faces of the league. Booker has a good reputation among players and fans and can be trusted by the league to make sure they are always represented well to the larger public.
Recently, Devin Booker defended the NBA in the wake of Noah Lyles winning the Olympic gold medal, claiming that it is harder to win the NBA championship than it is to win an Olympic gold medal. While Booker was trying to defend himself, his peers, and the league as a whole, it isn’t necessarily a fair comparison.
To win an Olympic gold medal, as Team USA can attest, you must win a total of six games, in a standard round-robin tournament taking place over two weeks, and only involves just 12 teams. Whereas the NBA has 30 teams competing over six months, or even eight months if they can make the playoffs.
To compare the two different tournaments is very difficult. While the Olympics have more historic and international prestige. The NBA has established itself as the best league in the world, which houses the best players in the world from several different countries. Fans can decide which they consider to be more prestigious.
