In a stunning announcement that has sent shockwaves through the basketball world, ESPN has confirmed that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver plans to appoint Devin Booker to a new and unprecedented position within the league.
According to sources close to the NBA, Booker’s remarkable leadership on and off the court has earned him the title of “NBA Global Ambassador for Player Development.” The role, which has been created specifically for the Phoenix Suns star, will focus on bridging the gap between current players, international talent, and league initiatives that promote basketball worldwide.
“Devin has consistently shown what it means to be a professional—his dedication, sportsmanship, and global appeal make him the perfect figure to represent the next generation of NBA athletes,” Commissioner Silver said in a statement.
Booker, who is entering his 11th season in the league, expressed his gratitude and excitement. “Basketball has given me everything, and I want to help inspire the next generation of players—both in the U.S. and around the world,” he said.
While he remains committed to leading the Phoenix Suns on the court, insiders say this new position will give Booker an influential voice in shaping the league’s future, particularly in youth development and international outreach.
Fans have already taken to social media, praising the move as “well-deserved” and “a sign of Booker’s growing legacy beyond the hardwood.”
