Having Debunked Taylor Swift Dating Lie, $53,827,872 Lakers Star Reveals What Could Have Made It More ?Believable?

The goal of reaching the NBA one day, to date, serves as a dream for many. But within the flashy lifestyle and glamorous way of living, there looms a constant chance for controversy. A Los Angeles Lakers star suffered from that as his name was mixed with Taylor Swift.

The $53 million player has recently debunked the lie of him dating the female artist. He also went on to reveal what words would have made the entire speculation more believable.

Another NBA off-court rumor comes to an end

Since the 33-year-old singer’s breakup, the Lakers star Austin Reaves’ name came to the limelight as her alleged new boyfriend. The 25-year-old was reportedly spotted at a bar with Taylor. In reality, none of it was true, so, the NBA star shouldered the responsibility of coming out to tell the truth.

The news initially befuddled Reaves, as reported by The Athletic. He stated clearly that he neither met nor communicated with her in his lifetime. The reports surrounding both of them were entirely built on lies.

He said, “Me going to a bar doesn’t happen much,” to expose the lies. He then jokingly added that if the reports were around them meeting on a golf course rather than a bar, they would have been more believable. All this calms down the noise around Austin as the star gears up for another season of top-level basketball.

The hopes from Austin Reaves

Nicknamed HillBilly Kobe, he has impressed the big names of the league with his work ethic and dedication. One of his biggest supporters is actually LeBron James, who guides him on and off the court. The Lakers’ management has also shown their trust in the shooting guard.

The franchise picked him after he went undrafted in 2021. So he entered the league as an underrated youngster, with no one expecting much from him. He has ever since thrived on that. Thus, his 4-year deal with the team for $53 million did not surprise anyone.
