The Los Angeles Lakers are looking like a team on a mission. After some poor showings in the past, the LA-based team is raring to go once again. Having started the season with three wins on the trot, they were threatening to take the game away from their competitors. However, a series of losses did slow them down, but the Lakers seem to be back up once again. In their latest outing, LeBron James and co. sweated it out to clinch a 123-103 victory.

With the Lakers performing as a team this season, their latest game saw yet another start rising to the occasion. Austin Reaves had one of the best games of his life as he notched up 27 points and 6 assists to his name. However, there might be a secret reason behind such a fantastic performance. According to recent speculations, it was because of actress Jessica Alba. Alba, who is a popular face in Hollywood, was ringside witnessing all the action. This later became a significant reason for the netizens to troll Austin Reaves.

Well, apart from Reaves, LeBron James, too, dropped 19 points and 10 rebounds to make a strong case to put his retirement rumors to rest. In fact, King James’ 16 assists in the game was a season’s best. But despite James’ heroics, most of the eyeballs were fixated on Austin Reaves. Now, he definitely did put up a splendid display of his sporting expertise. But there was perhaps more to it as pointed out by the eagle-eyed fans. According to an X post from ‘Lakers All Day Everyday,’ Reaves caught a glimpse of Jessica Alba sitting on the sidelines when he immediately went on a scoring spree.

The post was captioned, “Austin Reaves saw Jessica Alba sitting courtside and turned into 2016 Steph Curry.” It went viral instantly, and fans soon began to share their thoughts on the speculation.

Internet Burst Into Laughter Despite Austin Reaves’ Brilliant Performance, Claim Jessica Alba As The Reason

Austin Reaves received quite a number of hilarious trolls after his electric performance. One fan commented, “we need her courtside at the away games as well lmao.”

Another fan said, “S**t I would too.”

This fan had a hilarious line for Reaves as the comment read, “bro knows when to step up he’s him.”

This fan demanded Jessica Alba to be given free courtside tickets for every game. The comment read, “Give her free courtside tickets for the rest of the season.”

Another fan stated, “instant +10 boost.”

This fan reminded Reaves that Alba was married. The comment read, “she’s married..keep it moving AR15.”

A fan found the entire incident funny, “This is actually so funny.”

Lastly, a fan expressed his desires if he had been in Reaves’ position, “Shii if I saw her l’d turn into 2018 bron.”

Well, while there’s no confirmation that Austin Reaves’ performance was a result of Jessica Alba’s presence, his form will surely do wonders for the Lakers’ confidence. With the playoffs still a long way to go, it remains to be seen whether Reaves can keep up his sublime touch consistently.

ESPN has made a decision on Jason Kelce following his recent altercation with a young Penn State fan.

The former Eagles star had an incident with a Nittany Lions supporter on his way to their game against Ohio State on Saturday that ended up going viral online.

Kelce made an appearance on ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ ahead of the fixture, but it wasn’t a smooth Saturday as he smashed a fan’s phone for asking how he feels about his brother Travis being “f***ot” for dating Taylor Swift, because it’s apparently gay to date women now…

Kelce would grab said fan’s phone, as he was recording him at the time, before smashing it and then asking him, “Who’s the faggot now?”
