After a successful run at the 2024 Paris Olympics as one of Team USA’s most crucial, yet underrated, players, Devin Booker has been making the most of his final days in the City of Light.
Fresh off a hard-fought 98-87 victory against France in the men’s basketball gold medal game, the Phoenix Suns point guard decided to celebrate in true Parisian style, partying well into the early hours of the morning.
Booker, 27, spent Saturday night soaking in the victory at a local club, enjoying the atmosphere and the company of friends and fans alike.
However, as the night turned into Sunday morning, the NBA star made a rather unconventional exit from the club, trading in the glitz and glamour for a quiet ride through the streets of Paris.
As Booker stepped out of the club, he was greeted by a small crowd of fans eager to catch a glimpse of the Olympic gold medalist. Despite the late hour, Booker graciously stopped to sign a few autographs while his security team worked to keep the situation under control. Once the fans were settled, Booker surprised everyone by opting for an electric Lime bicycle as his ride home, smoothly navigating the calm, early-morning streets of Paris.

The sight of Booker, a global basketball star, casually riding a Lime bike through Paris was both unexpected and endearing—a reminder that even elite athletes enjoy simple pleasures after a long night.
Before his night out, Booker received high praise from Team USA’s head coach, Steve Kerr, who lauded the guard’s contributions throughout the tournament. “Devin Booker is an incredible basketball player,” Kerr said during a press conference. “Nobody asked about him. He was our unsung MVP. I just wanted to say that.”
Booker’s performance in the Olympics was nothing short of impressive. He started in every game for Team USA, averaging 11.7 points and 3.3 assists per game. One of his standout moments came during Team USA’s dominating 122-87 win over Brazil, where Booker dropped 18 points, showcasing his scoring prowess on the international stage.
With a gold medal in hand and a night of celebration behind him, Booker’s time in Paris marks both the end of a rewarding Olympic journey and the start of an exciting new chapter as he prepares to team up with Kevin Durant for the upcoming NBA season. After a disappointing season last year, the duo’s potential is generating a lot of buzz, and Booker’s Olympic success only adds to the anticipation.
As Booker enjoyed his well-earned victory lap around Paris, perhaps the only lesson left to learn is to have a driver on standby next time. But then again, what’s more memorable than a peaceful, early-morning bike ride through one of the most beautiful cities in the world?
