Devin Booker wasn’t expecting the call, but he enjoyed every moment of it.
When Fanatics founder Michael Rubin spotted a young female fan at a card shop in California sporting several Booker cards, Rubin seemed to know just what to do.
He placed a video call to Booker and introduced the Phoenix Suns All-Star to the young girl, who broke down in tears seeing Booker’s smiling face on the other end.
“I can’t believe it,” the teenager said in tears, with her hands pressed against her face.

Regaining her composure a little bit, the teenager said she attends every Clippers-Suns matchup in Los Angeles to see Booker play.
“I’m a really, really big fan,” she said.
On the other end of the call, Booker said, “I appreciate it.”
Rubin ended the call and told the young female Booker wanted her address to send her a signed jersey.
