After signing with the Phoenix Suns in the midst of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with Team USA, JaVale McGee said he walked up to Devin Booker during breakfast and said, ‘What’s up, teammate?’
Apparently, Booker didn’t understand McGee was talking about the Suns.
“He’s like, ‘Oh, alright...’” McGee said during an appearance with the Burns and Gambo Show on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM on Wednesday. “And then I think he looked at his phone and was like, ‘Oh, I get it now. What’s going on?’ So yeah.”
McGee and Booker won a gold medal as Olympic teammates, and now they will look to win a championship in their first season as NBA teammates in 2021-22.
