We've all heard about Phoenix Suns stud Devin Booker getting his post-bubble game on with Kendall Jenner, but as it turns out, it looks like he isn't the only Sun who's hitting it big with celebs these days. Phoenix big man Deandre Ayton appears to be taking a page off of Booker's playbook, and is now shooting his shot with rapper Cardi B.
Okay, we exaggerate. Cardi B simply retweeted a clip of Ayton dancing to one of her songs during practice, and when the Suns second-year center was asked to comment on this recent development, Ayton looked like a blushing high school boy.
Here's a clip of Deandre Ayton's exchange with Bleacher Report's Taylor Rooks:

First off, we have to commend Ayton for 1) his dancing skills, and 2) the audacity to pull off these moves. Good on you D.
When confronted with the clip, however, the 6-foot-11 big man appeared to have regretted his earlier decision. Then again, he did earn points with Cardi B, so that can't be too bad, right?
Ayton played a huge role for the Suns in their awe-inspiring 8-0 run inside the Disney World bubble. The 22-year-old played in all eight games for Phoenix, putting up 15.0 points (on 53.4 percent shooting), 9.5 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 30 minutes of action per ballgame. Booker stole the show for Phoenix, but the contributions of guys like Ayton for what was an unforgettable run for this team cannot be understated.
Ayton served a 25-game suspension earlier this season for failing a league-mandated drug test, but he has done enough this season to put that unfortunate episode behind him.
