Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker had a grand time during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games both on and off the court. Booker made sure he recorded their campaign, from what went down during the games as well as his experiences outside of competition, roaming and enjoying the sights and sounds of the French capital.
He shared clips of his vlog via Instagram on Wednesday, with the caption:
"I'll do it"
Check out the video below:
The 27-year-old former Kentucky star was among 12 NBA stars who got the job done and delivered to the United States a fifth straight Olympic men's basketball gold medal in the Paris Games. They swept their way to the title, culminating in their 98-87 win over host France in the championship game.
Fellow NBA stars reacted to what 'Book' shared, including Team USA teammate Jayson Tatum, who like Booker won his second Olympic gold medal in Paris. 'JT' highlighted that in the comments section:
Another response was from Booker's former Kentucky teammate Wenyen Gabriel of South Sudan, which gave Team USA a stiffer challenge in the Olympics than expected. Gabriel praised what Devin Booker did with his vlog, writing:
Team USA coach praises Devin Booker for key role he played in Olympics
Devin Booker saw himself recalibrating his game to fit what Team USA wanted to accomplish at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. He succeeded in doing so, something that was not lost to their coach Steve Kerr.
Kerr took time to give praise to what 'Book' was able to do in a very loaded United States team. He highlighted how the Phoenix Suns All-Star had to step back for his more established teammates like Steph Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant but was still effective in his role.
The Team USA coach shared to media following their gold medal-winning performance against host France:
"He was incredible this entire round. Just what he does, play to play to play. Rock solid. Completely changed his role from the NBA to now. He was kind of our unsung MVP. I just wanted to say that."
Devin Booker played in all six of Team USA's games in Paris and finished with averages of 11.7 points, 3.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 22 minutes of play.
It was his second Olympic gold medal after that he won in Tokyo in 2020. With his solid play in Paris, he is being considered to be part still of Team USA for the next Summer Games in 2028 in Los Angeles.
