Suns veterans prank rookie star Devin Booker

Devin Booker has been a bright spot for the Phoenix Suns during what has otherwise been a very dark season.
But as great as the rookie has been, it’s important to remember that he is still, in fact, a rookie.
So while the 19-year-old may be averaging 10.6 points per game, is making 41 percent of his 3-point attempts this season and is preparing to compete in the 3-point Shootout during NBA All-Star Weekend, his teammates made sure to remind him of his first-year status.
And the best way to do that, apparently, was to fill Booker’s car with packing popcorn.

So this happened. At least it wasn't real popcorn. #WeArePHX pic.twitter.com/pwdqb7vOOc

A classic prank, and one that Booker seemed to take in stride.
