That’s a picture from the 1990s! Or is it? Chase Field welcomed a VIP in the stands as the Arizona Diamondbacks battled against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. A legendary sport himself, this 6’6” star wowed the viewers with his ‘camcorder-cameo’, giving NLCS a vibrant ‘Old tech alert’. 

The Phoenix Suns ace brought with him an old-school camcorder, calling back the pre-mobile phone days. While he played out his little stunt, he was filmed, filming. For those who are foreign to camcorders, it was the equipment used for shooting, just like what phones can do today. With this seemingly vintage recreation, fans can’t help but be pleasantly surprised by this callback. 

Devin Booker Mimicked One Of The Most Iconic Memes From History

A couple of victories would send the Arizona Diamondbacks to their first World Series since 2001. With that, on Friday night, Chase Field hosted Game 4, drawing a number of well-known athletes. One among them was the Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker. He adorned a beanie and wore a chain over his black jacket along with his camcorder (of course!). Doesn’t that remind one of something? 

Booker mimicked one of Shaquille O’Neil’s famous memes, fueling an adaptation of the iconic meme. Booker is getting ready to play the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. As he prepares to begin the 2023–24 NBA season, his appearance in Arizona prompted the Diamondbacks’ official Twitter account to request him for the footage. That said, with a 6-5 victory, the Diamondbacks evened the series at two games each.

When Shaq was still in the league and watching the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, he came up with this OG meme. In a way, Devin Booker paid homage to Shaq’s famous displays from the competition. At 26 years old, the three-time NBA All-Star was only three or four years old when the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest took place. With this recreation, fans could not stay calm. 

Fans Poured Their Hears Out Over This Meme Redo

From calling Booker a fairy to reminiscing about the old times, fans of all generations came together on social media to express their thoughts. While these foddered fans had lots to share, some comments really stood out. 

Some had a nostalgic throwback to old times. 

Few fans hoped for him to have caught the HR. 

Hinting at Shaq’s camcorder episode, this fan wrote. 

Some enthusiasts recognized the camera itself and commented on it. 

There were also fans who joked about how dads behave during Christmas.
