PHOENIX — There were many familiar faces watching the women's all-around gymnastics Final in Paris, including Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker and his trusty camcorder.
If you haven't heard about Booker's camcorder chronicles, you're missing out. Booker snagged footage from the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremonies to walking around the city with his fellow Olympians and posted the video to Instagram.
He also posted a second video that includes footage of Nyjah Houston, who won a bronze medal in Paris in the street skateboard event, and a chat with Tony Hawk on a Zoom call.
Booker took his camcorder to the women's all-around gymnastics final, too, capturing fellow Team USA members Simone Biles and Sunsia Lee as they took to the mat. He truly gave off "Dad" energy, recording the competition with his camcorder rather than a cell phone like most fans.
And Booker wasn't the only member of the team to cheer on their fellow Americans. According to Sports Illustrated, most of Team USA's men's basketball team spent their day off in the stands.
The U.S. men's basketball team plays again on Saturday, Aug. 3, squaring off against Puerto Rico. They are coming off an 103–86 victory over South Sudan on Wednesday.
