In a city known for its romance and charm, Devin Booker added a new chapter to his storied career with an unforgettable night in Paris. Fresh off helping Team USA secure a gold medal in the 2024 Olympics, the Phoenix Suns star decided to celebrate in a way that perfectly encapsulates his unique blend of humility and flair.
Booker played a pivotal role in Team USA’s victory over France, contributing 15 points, six rebounds, and three assists in the gold medal game. His performance throughout the tournament earned him high praise from head coach Steve Kerr, who called him the “unsung MVP” of the team. With the gold medal hanging proudly around his neck, Booker joined his teammates in a night of celebration that would stretch into the early hours of the morning.
As the celebrations wound down, Booker made a surprising choice. Instead of opting for a luxurious ride back to his hotel, he decided to hop on an electric Lime bicycle. At 6 AM, with the streets of Paris still quiet, Booker pedaled through the city, creating a moment that quickly went viral. Fans and onlookers were both amused and impressed by his down-to-earth approach to celebrating such a monumental achievement.
Before his impromptu bike ride, Booker took a moment to connect with his fans. Outside the club, he was greeted by a small crowd, including a fan wearing a Booker jersey. Despite the late hour and the long night, Booker signed autographs, including one for the fan with his jersey.
Let me get this straight, Devin Booker won Gold for 🇺🇸, went clubbing, hung out with his girl, and signed autographs for fans, and left riding a bike at 6 am 😭
