Some are surprised by the disparity in the height of the two athletes.
“4’11 vs 6’6 lmaoo,” commented @@NBAW0RLD24.
Others have jokingly implied they’re jealous of Booker for having a photo taken with the talented gymnast, who won gold with Simone Biles in the team event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“SUNI LEE NOOOOOOOOOOOO,” said @SwishPHI.
“He better leave my girl alone,” wrote @purplefranchise.
“I really like Devin Booker now,” shared @LakersOnX.
Others think that Biles and Chicago Bears defensive back Jonathan Owens now have a rival.
"Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens gonna have the most athletic kids."
