Should Devin Booker ever become a hall-of-fame-basketball player, some of his memorabilia already will be waiting for him in Springfield, Mass.
The Phoenix Suns shooting guard gifted the jersey he wore March 24 to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Booker scored 70 points that night in the Suns’ loss to the Boston Celtics, and the Basketball Hall of Fame plans to preserve the memory of his achievement for posterity.

Booker is tied for 10th on the NBA’s single-game scoring leaders’ list. If he has many more high-scoring games, he might one day join his jersey in basketball’s historic home.
