Earlier this month, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker asked 16-year-old Suns’ fan, Jenna Warren, to join him in New York City while he represented his team at the draft lottery.
Warren has Down Syndrome, and she and the NBA star became fast friends in early April after Booker noticed her in his jersey and pulled her onto the court during warmups.
Of course, Warren and her family accepted Booker’s offer to fly to the east coast with him, and it looks like she had a great time.

This is what the off season should be about for every professional athlete.
