Things are looking really good right now for star Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker.
Booker's stellar year keeps on getting better. He has just extended his endorsement deal with Nike, which will keep him as the main face of the business through 2029, the company said on Thursday. Booker has been with Nike for seven years now after initially signing with the brand prior to being selected by Phoenix in 2015 and then renewing in 2018. This new deal means he will be with Nike for at least 15 years total.

Booker's collaboration with Nike also extends beyond the usual on-court basketball line. The plan is for the 25-year-old former University of Kentucky star and Nike to partner up on unique lifestyle projects as well.
Booker deserves it all.

Not surprisingly, Booker successfully negotiated a four-year, $224 million supermax contract deal with the Suns. This was recognition and validation of Booker's on-court performance throughout the season. Phoenix has him locked up in that agreement up until the 2027-2028 season. He will also earn a projected $295 million in on-court compensation in that timespan.
In addition, Devin Booker was also confirmed as the featured cover player for NBA 2K23. Booker joins the ranks of Michael Jordan, Sue Bird, and Diana Tarausi on the set of limited-edition covers for this year.
The good times are here for Booker, and they might continue to heat up, too. Fans spotted him and ex-girlfriend Kendall Jenner at a July 4 party. That ha fueled rumors that maybe the two are getting back together. If that happens, then 2022 has been very kind to this kid from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
