What do you call a dog?
Well, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas chose to go with his favorite player on his favorite basketball team: Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker.
Josh Rojas named his dog Booker, and yes, it’s because of who you can guess 🥺@Jody_Jackson Discs @JoshRojass in the ball park at @Dbacks 𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐈 𝐃𝐇 submitted by @SandersonFordAZpremiere right after today’s game! pic.twitter.com/FlIdYL5ySq

Rojas has two dogs with his girlfriend Alex, one of which is called Mia. The other is Booker.
The couple was initially only going to name the pup after the Suns guard if Phoenix won the 2021 NBA Finals over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Of course, things didn’t go the way Suns fans would have hoped, but Rojas and Alex liked the name so much they stuck with it.
Think it’s better than naming them after their furry friend Giannis Antetokounmpo, right?
But before you give Rojas too much credit for originality, he’s not the only Valley dog lover with a pup of the same name.
Actually, there is LOT of dogs in the state of Arizona named Devin Booker.
And, hey, maybe one day the name “Champ” will become just as popular in the Valley of the Sun.
