OKLAHOMA CITY – Tyler Ulis credits his “personal chauffeur” with how smoothly he is adjusting to the NBA.
Ulis does not like driving, so he has Devin Booker, his best friend who lives in the same complex, for rides to and from Talking Stick Resort Arena and much more.
Booker’s first job with Ulis is best friend, a role he grew into after they met in eighth grade on the basketball club circuit. They chose Kentucky together, but Booker got a head start on a pro career by coming out a year earlier to set up his other self-described job for Ulis.
