The Special Olympics on Thursday announced NBA All-Star Devin Booker as it’s Global Ambassador, and based on his personal connection to the organization’s mission, he’s a perfect choice.
The Pheonix Sun’s younger sister, who has DiGeorge Syndrome, has been his biggest inspiration to share the message of the Special Olympics.
“I’ve celebrated the accomplishments and witnessed the challenges my sister Mya has experienced as a person with intellectual disabilities,” Booker said in the Special Olympics’ press release.
“She motivates me every day, and I’m humbled to be part of Special Olympics, a global organization with a mission to help spread awareness about the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities.”
