Devin Booker is going to have a lot of free drinks thrown his way on Friday night -- too bad he’s not old enough to drink them.
Booker set a Suns franchise record and became just the sixth NBA player in history to score 70 points in a game in Friday’s 130-120 loss to the Celtics.
The 20-year-old second-year player has been known to get hot, but I don’t think anyone saw 70 coming this soon in his career -- he scored 51 points in the second half alone.
The NBA universe, players included, took to Twitter and was predictably amazed at Booker’s feat.

Devin Booker is the first NBA player ever to finish a game with at least 70 points before he finished a game with at least 40 points.

The fact that these NBA veterans -- guys who played basketball pretty much every day of their lives -- were in such awe, really speaks to just how impressive Booker’s accomplishment actually is.
