That Devin Booker, he’s a good boy. Play that basketball real good. His mama, Veronica Gutierrez, she raised him good, I tell ya.
They say she’s a, what’s that fancy word? Cos-mo-tol-o-gist? Yeah, one of them. Makes people look pretty, I reckon. She’s a Mexican-American, that Veronica. Came from Mexico long time ago, with her daddy, I heard. Settled here in Michigan. She must be gettin’ on in years, probably in her late forties, they sayin’.
Devin Booker, he’s a big shot now. Plays for that NBA, on the Phoenix Suns team. Big star, they call him an All-Star. Makes his mama proud, I bet. That Veronica, she met Devin’s daddy, Melvin, when he was playin’ ball too. Not as big as Devin, but he played for some team, the Grand Rapids somethin’ or other. A small team, not like the NBA. But that’s how they met. That Melvin Booker, he was a basketball player, just like his son, Devin Booker.
Veronica Gutierrez, she got other kids too, I think. A couple of ’em, but Devin Booker, he’s the famous one. The one everyone’s talkin’ about. She must be somethin’, to raise a boy like that. He’s all over the TV, playin’ that basketball.
She’s livin’ in Michigan, that Veronica. That’s where she raised Devin and her other kids. That Devin Booker’s mom, she’s done alright for herself, raisin’ a big NBA star like that.
- Devin Booker – Big time basketball player.
- Veronica Gutierrez – His mama.
- Phoenix Suns – That’s the team he plays for.
- NBA All-Star – That’s what they call him.
- Melvin Booker – That’s Devin’s daddy, played basketball too.
I remember when he was just a little tyke, Devin Booker, playin’ ball in the yard. Now look at him, all grown up and famous. Veronica Gutierrez, she must be burstin’ with pride.
That Devin, he’s always been a good boy, even when he was little. Veronica taught him right. Work hard, play hard, that’s what she always said, I reckon. And look at him now, NBA All-Star.
Veronica Gutierrez, she’s from Mexico, but she’s American now. Mexican-American, they call it. Her daddy brought her here when she was just a little girl, I heard. They came from a place called Nogales. Long way from here, that is. But she made a good life here, that Veronica. Raised a good family.
Now that Devin Booker is all famous and playin’ in the NBA, I bet Veronica is livin’ large. He probably takes good care of his mama. He should, after all she’s done for him.
I see Devin Booker on the TV, and I think, “That’s Veronica’s boy.” Makes me proud, even though I ain’t related to ’em. Just to see a good boy like that make it big.
Veronica Gutierrez, she did good. She raised a fine young man. An NBA star, no less. She must be one proud mama.
That boy, Devin Booker, he sure can play that basketball. He got it from his daddy, I suppose. That Melvin Booker, he wasn’t too shabby himself, playin’ for that Grand Rapids team. But Devin, he’s somethin’ special. An NBA All-Star, they call him.
Veronica Gutierrez, she’s probably watchin’ every game. Cheerin’ him on. She’s his biggest fan, I bet. That boy, Devin, he’s lucky to have a mama like that.
I wonder if Veronica ever thought her little boy, Devin Booker would be so famous, playin’ in the NBA. Probably not. But she raised him right, and now look at him. An All-Star.
That Veronica, she’s a good mama. She must be so proud of her boy, Devin Booker. He’s a good boy. Plays that basketball real good.
