After a rewarding 2024 Paris Olympics as the unsung hero of the US team, Devin Booker spent the final days of the 2024 Paris Olympics in style.
After the US basketball team beat France 98-87, the Phoenix Suns point guard apparently celebrated from Saturday night into Sunday morning at a club in the city. But when he was done celebrating, the 27-year-old Booker left the club in not exactly stylish fashion and disappeared into the clear, quiet streets of Paris.

As Booker left the club, he was greeted by several fans. Members of Booker’s security team helped calm the fans down so Booker could quickly escape – but not before signing a few autographs for the fans. Afterwards, Booker hopped on an electric Lime bike and took a leisurely ride into the city.
Before the club meeting, Booker received high praise from Steve Kerr, coach of the U.S. men’s basketball team.
“Devin Booker is an incredible basketball player,” Kerr said during a press conference. “Nobody asked about him. He was our secret MVP. I just wanted to say that.”
Throughout the Olympics, Booker started every game for the U.S. team. He averaged 11.7 points and 3.3 assists. Perhaps the highlight of Booker’s performance was the U.S. team’s game against Brazil, which the U.S. team won with a convincing 122-87 victory. In that game, Booker scored 18 points.
Between winning the gold medal, celebrating, and leaving the club at 6 a.m., it was definitely a long day for Booker. But it also marks the beginning of an incredible new chapter with Kevin Durant after a disappointing season last year. But next time, maybe there’s a driver waiting for him.
