Fresh off his inclusion in Team USA’s 41-man player pool, Devin Booker faced a compelling question: would he prefer winning an NBA championship or bringing home gold in the Olympics?
Not surprisingly, Booker left no hesitation in his answer, insisting, “I’m taking that ring. I already have a gold medal.”

While Booker does not have a ring yet, he has already won gold, as he was on Team USA’s roster during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which were delayed to 2021.
After going 2-1 in pool play, Team USA defeated Spain, Australia, and then France in the finals.
Booker scored 20 points in the semifinals on 7-10 shooting.
Currently, the Suns hold a 27-20 record, placing them 6th in the Western Conference. They are well on their way to making the playoffs for the 4th straight season.
