The Phoenix Suns are holding a 2-1 record with their recent win against the Utah Jazz. Well, there’s a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of Kevin Durant. Although “Slim Reaper” seems to take care of the games, the duo of ‘Unbothered-36’ would be great to witness on the hardwood.

Although the audience saw Devin Booker in the NBA regular season opener, the player is now down with an injury. Right now, the player deserves a night off because it’s that time of the year for the star.

Well, of course, the song was a must because the lyrics go like, “My dog got booked for acting like Book”. The post was bombarded with wishes once it reached the audience.

U changed my life Happy Bday.”

With such words from one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, the connection seems pretty clear to the entity. Well, for OBJ, Devin is his favorite player in the NFL. As far as the shoes are concerned, they couldn’t go unnoticed either.
