**Devin Booker Responds to Viral Video Claiming He Dismissed Bronny James**
Devin Booker has clapped back at fans spreading a viral video that allegedly showed him dissing Bronny James, the Lakers rookie and son of LeBron James. The clip, which quickly gained traction on social media, appeared to show Booker commenting on Bronny’s missed free throw during a preseason game. According to the post, Booker allegedly said, “he’s just no good.”
However, Booker was quick to shut down the rumors. On X (formerly Twitter), he responded to the 50k users who liked the post, stating, “50k of y’all need help.” Booker’s denial comes amid widespread criticism of Bronny’s preseason performance, though the young rookie recently turned heads with a breakout 17-point game against the Golden State Warriors.

This isn’t the first time an NBA star has been caught up in viral misinformation involving Bronny James. Earlier this year, Celtics star Jaylen Brown was similarly accused of mocking James in a lip-synced clip, which he later debunked.
Despite the drama, Booker and fellow Suns star Kevin Durant recently enjoyed some downtime, attending a high-profile college football match between Texas and Georgia. As for their basketball duties, the Suns are set to open their regular season against the LA Clippers at the brand-new Intuit Dome.
