NBA All-Star Devin Booker’s latest tweet might have left more people laughing than his smooth jump shots.
"Please don't go @Hooters," the Phoenix Suns guard said on X (previously Twitter) in response to rumours that the restaurant business is going bankrupt.
Despite being well-known for its "unique dining experience," it looks like the wing-flipping, tight-shirt-wearing company may be having major financial difficulties. There were many comments to Booker's straightforward message, but one of the funnier ones was when someone said,
"Sounds like a business opportunity for you."
Booker's love for Hooters swiftly gained popularity on social media, and followers were keen to express their opinions.

Fans wasted no time poking fun at Booker’s tweet, with some questioning if the athlete had posted such a thing. One fan tweeted,
“dbook hacked??” expressing disbelief that this was a real message from the NBA star.
Another fan added,
“No way this a real tweet😭😭,” reflecting the general confusion that followed his surprising plea.
Of course, some saw Devin’s passion for Hooters as a sign that the restaurant chain truly holds a “special place” in his heart. In contrast, one user had other opinions, tweeting,
“Close that mf down immediately,” while others couldn’t resist pointing out the restaurant’s reputation.
“Are Hooters even known for their food lmao,” one user joked, a sly dig at the chain’s controversial image.
Another fan playfully jumped into action, claiming,
“It’s time to save Hooters,” humorously suggesting that perhaps Booker could take on the task of reviving the struggling franchise.
But in the heat of all the jokes, one commenter simply quipped,
“Get this brother some water,” implying that Booker’s love for the chain might be a little too intense.
