A video has gone viral on X, which allegedly shows a balding NBA superstar getting a new haircut. The individual could be seen getting hair glued to the top of their head and once that was done, they bore a resemblance to one Devin Booker.
With many NBA fans speculating that it is indeed Booker, the Phoenix Suns star took to X to make it clear that it wasn't him.
"Y'all got me messed up lol."
Fans hilariously reacted to Booker's post.
One told Booker they know it's not him.
A fan stated this was the funniest thing Booker ever posted.
One hilariously warned Booker that he better not have another bad playoff performance.
A fan said that's Ben Simmons.
One claimed that's definitely Tyrese Haliburton.
It's hard to say for sure who this might be. Fans have also brought up names such as Jayson Tatum and CJ McCollum. You can see some resemblance with all the names mentioned, but I can't say with certainty that it is one of them.
It is also entirely possible, of course, that this isn't an NBA superstar at all. It could just be some sort of marketing ploy or just some internet prank being played here.
Devin Booker And The Suns Are Battling To Avoid The Play-In Tournament
Booker and the Suns came into the season with hopes of being a serious contender to win the NBA championship. Phoenix traded for Bradley Beal to form a formidable Big 3 of him, Booker, and Kevin Durant, but things haven't quite gone according to plan.
Thanks to injuries to their stars and some fourth-quarter meltdowns, the Suns find themselves down at sixth in the standings in the Western Conference with a 46-32 record. They are only out of the Play-In Tournament on a tie-breaker and really need to win all their games the rest of the way to ensure they at least finish sixth.
Booker will have to come up big for that to happen. The 27-year-old has had a good season, with averages of 27.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game.
The Suns have underwhelmed despite that and it's hard for me to see a scenario where they make a deep playoff run. I think this team might win a series, but that's about it.
