Devin Booker dropped 70 and NBA Twitter lost its mind
All eyes were on Devin Booker’s 70-point game against the Boston Celtics on Friday night, and NBA players across Twitter made sure to send props to the Phoenix Suns phenom.
Kobe Bryant, the last guy to score more than 70 in a game, let the world know he was watching:
