Devin Booker got called out over the weekend.

Devin Booker has had some fairly successful seasons in Phoenix over the last few years. Moreover, with Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal on his team, the Suns are expected to contend for a title. Overall, Booker has a bit of a bad reputation around the league. For some reason, a lot of fans on NBA Twitter just don't like him. Although he is a good player, there is this narrative that he is simply too overrated to be taken so seriously.

Now, however, there are some people on NBA Twitter who have changed their tone on Booker. This is all because of the stance he has taken on Jonah Hill. Over the weekend, Hill was accused of emotional abuse and manipulation by his ex-girlfriend. In some messages, Hill essentially told a surfer that she couldn't surf anymore if she wanted to be with him. This sparked a conversation about boundaries that the incel community couldn't help keep their hands off of. As it turns out, Booker decided to take Hill's side on this, as he posted the actor on his Instagram story.

Devin Booker Speaks

While some of the weirdos on NBA Twitter were quick to praise Booker for a "rare W," others were quick to eat him alive. After all, it was a bit weird for Booker to praise Hill considering the discourse. Just staying quiet would have played things way safer. Regardless, Booker made his bed, and some made sure that he laid in it. "Why is devin booker dying on this jonah hill," one user joked. "Surprisingly this makes book less hated on NBA Twitter because this app full of weirdos lol but this such an L man smh I’m disappointed," said another.

Twitter Reacts

At the end of the day, a lot of this has to do with outdared attitudes, and it's impossible to convince people to let go of said attitudes. Let us know your thoughts on the situation, down below.
