“Devin Booker should consider himself lucky that security held Benny the Bull back”: NBA Twitter trolls the Suns guard as the Bulls’ mascot tried to replicate the altercation D-Book had with the Raps’ mascot

Late in the 1^st quarter of the Bulls-Suns clash, Benny the Bull tried to distract Devin Booker but was hilariously held back.

While Devin Booker has been playing on an elite level, he has been blowing up on social media for his petty altercation with the Toronto Raptors’ mascot… Yes, the 25-year-old guard had a little situation with The Raptor back in early January.

Here, have a look at the incident.

The Raptor really influenced all other mascots to do the same tactic to Devin Booker when he goes to the line. XD https://t.co/yAkhvcfqck

LOL I’m loving Book’s crusade against mascots.

This needs to end with the Gorilla fighting all the mascots to protect Book. https://t.co/CH2uX1ry8a

The Suns ended up grabbing a 127-124 lead with Booker dropping 38 points. Maybe, just maybe if Benny the Bull was allowed to distract Devin, could we have seen a different result to the game?
