Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is a man of the people.
Even babies think he’s cool.
And in Tuesday night’s 125-114 loss in Game 2 of the first-round series against the New Orleans Pelicans at Footprint Center, Booker dapped up a Valley baby after hitting a fadeaway at the buzzer to end the first quarter.
