Phoenix Suns second-year shooting guard Devin Booker picked up the first ejection of his career and was a complete sport about it.
The 20-year-old received his second technical foul with 17 seconds remaining in the game, trailing the Denver Nuggets by 16 points. Booker then gave the refs a thumbs up, pointed goodbye to his teammates on the bench, and even found time to sign an autograph for a young fan as he was escorted out of the premises.

Cool as a cucumber. Booker finished with 24 points on 10-of-18 shooting on the 120-104 loss to the Nuggets. The Suns are now 3-9 on the season, but surely won't forget Booker's well-mannered gestures even at the toughest moments.
After all, that basketball card could be worth a good deal once he cements himself as one of the top shooting guards in the league.
