Devin Booker’s impressive three-point display in a practice session in Charlotte, N.C., was significant enough to get national attention and become a featured sports “moment” on Twitter.
Even Sports Illustrated shared the video, which originally was tweeted by the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night. It shows Booker receiving passes from someone out-of-frame and then draining them from beyond the arc in the right corner, while an unidentified voice counts the buckets aloud. He sank 45 in a row.
Teammates Ricky Rubio, Tyler Johnson and Ty Jerome looked on.
The Suns (8-10) were in Charlotte to play the Hornets (8-13) on Monday night at 5 p.m. on ESPN 620 AM.
