Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker is hoping one of his gaming friends puts his money where his mouth is after dropping a game-high 44-point masterpiece in an overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Fortnite player Dennis “Cloakzy” Lepore had promised Booker he'd shave his left eyebrow if he dropped 40 points against the Pelicans, something that became a feasible reality as Booker reached the mark with a driving layup with 6:31 left in the fourth quarter.

After scoring on another layup later in the fourth, Booker only scored two more points in overtime, finishing with a tally of 44 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, and two steals in 42 minutes. Booker shot a formidable 13-of-24 from the floor, including 5-of-11 from deep, and a perfect 13-of-13 from the foul line — more than enough reason to warrant Cloakzy to cash in on his promise.
Cloakzy's followers were quick to tune in and take notice, knowing the notable Twitch and YouTube streamer had a bet to pay up.

In hindsight, it was probably a pretty awful bet to do with a player that dropped a career-high 70 points in his second season in the league.

It didn't take long for the trolling to get started with some photoshops.

Booker is averaging a clean 25 points and 6.3 assists per game this season, as the Suns have taken a major step up in competition after several years at the bottom of the Western Conference.
Cloakzy will soon average one less eyebrow per Fortnite game, something his followers will surely get a kick out of.
