Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is one of the most stylish guys in the NBA. He usually arrives in games wearing the latest drips.
But in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday, Booker upped the ante a bit more. He rolled up to the Phoenix Suns Arena in a new black car, flexing his confidence in going all the way. It's not exactly new new as the whip looks like a classic/throwback ride.
After beating the Milwaukee Bucks, Suns reporter Kellan Olson asked Booker if he'll roll up the same way for Game 2. The former Kentucky standout hesitated at first before dropping a hint.
“As he was heading out the door, he looked me in the eyes, didn't say nothin' and walked out before I heard a ‘We'll see! We'll see!' from down the hallway.”
It looks like he's already rewarded himself even before winning the NBA title.

It appears Booker got extra motivated with his new ride, helping the Suns score a convincing victory of the Bucks, 118-105. Giannis Antetokounmpo and company staged a furious rally in the fourth quarter but the Suns' cushion was too much to overcome.
Booker struggled a bit from the field, including 1-of-8 from beyond the arc, but still managed to tally 27 points. He also added six assists and three steals as he and Chris Paul outplayed the Bucks backcourt of Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton.
Devin Booker has had no trouble finding things to motivate him. There's his hero Kobe Bryant, his girlfriend Kendall Jenner, Suns fans, and now, his new carriage.
