NBA Fans found a new offseason debate, and this one had nothing to do with wins or losses.
@JonnyRoot_ shared a clip of a reporter asking Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime show.
The question tried to frame Booker as part of a “cultural milestone,” suggesting he would naturally support the performance. According to the caption, “It completely backfired.” Booker kept it short: “I didn’t watch, to be completely honest.”
That one sentence was enough for NBA Fans to jump in.
Some connected the moment to Booker and Bad Bunny both previously dating Kendall Jenner. @vannpartyof5 joked, “Ex boyfriends don’t like watching other ex boyfriends.
Ex boyfriends don’t like watching other ex boyfriends. Simple as that.

Simple as that.” Another user, @livin_jk, asked the obvious, “Didn’t they both date Kendall Jenner?” Then @clnh1252 added fuel to the fire with, “Better [question] is who hasn’t?” referencing Jenner’s dating history.
While the internet turned it into a meme, many NBA Fans defended Booker for keeping things direct. He was asked about a halftime show. He said he did not watch. That was it.
The internet never forgets, so they say. NBA fans easily find the dots to connect even in the most unlikely of places.
Whether it was an attempt of people from the media to put narratives where there is none, it’s always the people from social media with the vindictive points. NBA fans certainly know their history.
NBA Fans Question Reporter’s Approach After Devin Booker Clarifies Heritage
The conversation did not stop with Booker’s short answer. NBA Fans also focused on what came next.
@JeffreyTAlien highlighted another part of Booker’s reply, quoting him saying, “I’m Mexican.” The user added their own interpretation: “He’s thinking, ‘We’re all the same to you, Karen, and no, I didn’t watch that untalented pervert.’”
While that second line was clearly the commenter’s opinion, NBA Fans picked up on Booker’s need to clarify his background.
@JonnyRoot_, who originally posted the clip, explained why the heritage comment mattered. “Yeah, because the way she was asking him about bad bunny and Puerto Rican fans, it was easy to assume she thought he was Puerto Rican…”
That detail changed the tone of the exchange for many NBA Fans watching online
Another commenter, @alexandratoumbs, felt the question lacked tact. “That was a rude question why would he watch it bad bunny literally dissed him in a song.”
For NBA Fans, the situation isn’t just about halftime entertainment. It touches on identity, past relationships, and how public figures are grouped together based on surface-level links. Booker answered in plain terms. The internet did the rest.]
As the clip continues to circulate, NBA Fans seem united on one point: sometimes “I didn’t watch” really is the whole story.
