Booker is coming off an excellent summer where he helped lead Team USA to the Gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Many people took notice of the sacrifice that he made for the team.

Via David Aldridge of The Athletic on August 10: "Steve Kerr shouts out Devin Booker at the end of the U.S. press conference. "He was incredible this entire round. Just what he does, play to play to play. Rock solid. Completely changed his role from the NBA to now. He was kind of our unsung MVP. I just wanted to say that.""
