Devin Booker has this secret. Well, it’s not a secret, really, because it plays out in public at every Phoenix Suns game.
It’s just that Booker hasn’t told many people why he does it. His mother, he thinks. Maybe his older brother, Davon Wade. But that’s it.
“Nobody has really asked about it,” he says. “You’re one of the first people I’ve ever told.”
A day later, Booker’s father, Melvin Booker, is on the phone.
“Your voicemail kind of gave me chills,” Melvin says. “I didn’t know. I never asked him.”
The secret?
Actually, it’s a tribute.
