In Devin Booker’s eyes, there is always a special girl in the stands. That is his half-sister.

Behind the halo of the star, his personal life is quite simple and private. Although recently, his girlfriend Kendall Jenner often comes to cheer him on in matches, few people know that, among all the girls in the stands, in his eyes, there is only one source of greatest motivation. That person is not the top Hollywood supermodel, but Mya Powell, Devin Booker’s biological sister.

The Phoenix Suns star was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 into a special family, his father is a former basketball player, Melvin Booker, his mother has Puerto Rican blood. The passion of the Phoenix Suns star was inherited from his father. In addition to playing for NBA teams such as the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets, he often spent time traveling. Therefore, during the early years of his life, Devin Booker was raised by his mother. His kindness is the greatest gift that Veronica Gutierrez gave him.

Family is where the young star’s passion for basketball and love of life is nurtured

Although his parents do not live together, they both give him boundless love. Since then, he has built his career on valuable qualities and always uses his family as the core motivation every time he steps on the field.

Devin Booker has an older brother, Davon Wade, and a younger sister, Mya Powell. They are all half-siblings of the 24-year-old player. Mya has a genetic mutation syndrome, a congenital disease that causes developmental delays and other consequences. Therefore, he always pays special attention to his 19-year-old sister.

Devin Booker once shared: “I always have a special audience on the field, watching and supporting me every game. I don’t know what I would do without her.” Before the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, Mya was often present on the courtside to cheer for her brother.

According to the Phoenix Suns star, although Mya has a closed personality and rarely communicates with outsiders, inside she is extremely special. His little sister is not only a source of motivation for him to compete but also an inspiration for him to live.

The young player has spent years helping underprivileged youngsters, including Jenna Warren, a loyal Suns fan who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 with Down syndrome. He and the youngster regularly meet, forming a bond that Devin calls “something bigger than basketball.” In 2020, Devin Booker was named an ambassador for Special Olympics, the sports organization for people with disabilities.

“She doesn’t care if we win or lose, if we’re number one or number one. She reminds me of the bigger goals than just competing in basketball,” Devin Booker explains about his number one fan

The 24-year-old and his teammates have a long way to go in the NBA this year. After a big win this morning (June 10), the Phoenix Suns are currently leading the Denver Nuggets 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals. Although the course of NBA games is extremely unpredictable, the “Fire Phoenix” team will certainly always receive love from loyal fans like Devin Booker’s sister.
