Devin Booker was the man of the hour in the Orlando bubble. He led the Phoenix Suns to a perfect 8-0 record in the restart and make a strong argument for being the MVP of the seeding games. He finally put the league on notice about his reckless scoring talent.
Sadly, his heroics ended up with the Suns still being knocked out of the playoffs, which means his season came to an early end. Then again, it seems like the All-Star guard isn’t exactly having a tough time while on vacation. Apparently, he was spotted hanging out again with model Kendall Jenner, so it looks like they’re pretty serious.

For those who lack the context, Booker was spotted shooting his shot at Jenner during the Orlando bubble, commenting an Instagram pic with an ‘I like strawberries’ comment that went viral in a matter of seconds.

It’s also worth noting that Kendall Jenner has already dated Ben Simmons, D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Kyle Kuzma, and Blake Griffin, so she clearly has a weak spot for young NBA stars.
Even so, Booker better takes care of his career, as conspiracy theories didn’t hesitate to bring up the ‘Kardashian curse’ around the NBA, claiming they’ve ruined the careers (or at least injured) players like Lamar Odom, Khris Humphries, and Tristan Thompson.
The Suns shook the world with the way they played even despite not having Kelly Oubre Jr and Aron Baynes. Whether that success is sustainable or not is yet to be seen. What we can be sure of is that they’ll only go as far as Devin Booker can take them. So enjoy it while you can and hit the gym later, young gun.
