Tyrese Maxey and his reported girlfriend, Myra Gordon, have been the talk of the town lately. The chatter is quite interesting since the buzz is more about Gordon than Tyrese Maxey. What if we say it has something to do with the NFL and a renowned player? Well, that is something to discuss later, but amid all of the fuss, both of them shared an intimate moment on their Instagram handle.

The Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey reshared Myra’s IG story in which the couple posted a mirror selfie in front of a bathroom mirror. However, the basketball couple did not provide any fans with any text or hint at the status of their relationship. Apart from Gordon, there are rumors around the NBA community regarding Tyrese Maxey and Lavender Briggs’s dating status.

If Briggs is rumored to be Tyrese Maxey’s girlfriend, why is Myra Gordon in the spotlight? The recent buzz likely stems from Maxey and Gordon being spotted together, while Maxey and Briggs haven’t shared photos on social media. So, who is Myra Gordon, the woman who quickly overshadowed Maxey’s previous dating rumors?

Tyrese Maxey’s reported date: Who is Myra Christina Gordon?

Myra was born to father Kim Gordon and mother Myron on November 12, 2001. The basketball genes that pushed Gordon toward basketball belong to her parents, as both of them played together on the TCU (Texas Christian University) team. Myra has two siblings: a brother, Myron, and a sister, Alexis. Her sister also plays basketball for Texas Tech. Though Alexis played for UConn first, the young prospect then transferred to Texas Tech.

Nevertheless, Gordon completed her early education at Lawrence Dale Bell High School in Texas and established her identity as a pro-baller from the start. Being a four-star recruit, she played AAU with the Proskills Basketball team under coach Earl Rooks and earned a spot on the first-team all-district team.

The sophomore year for Tyrese Maxey’s rumored girlfriend was another milestone in high school as she dished out 53 points in a game to set a school record and earned the district offensive player of the year. Eventually, her overall performance aided her to get called for USA Basketball U17 Trials.

Gordon crushed other school records in her junior year as she honed her basketball skills steadily. Her offensive productivity escalated as she set a school record for averaging 27.3 points/game in her junior year. The offensive barrage from Myra Gordon remained consistent, totaling 925 in a single season and setting up another bar in school. She did not look back and kept moving forward, earning the District MVP titles in her junior and senior years consecutively. However, she could not make it to the 2020 McDonald’s All-American team despite getting her name on the nominee list. At the end of her year-high school basketball career, Gordon scored a total of 2,405 points, which stands second on the highest point count chart in L.D. Bell’s history after her sister Alexis’ name.

College Career

Tyrese Maxey’s rumored new date, Myra Gordon, joined Alabama University’s basketball team, the Crimson Tide, as a guard/forward. Standing at 6 feet, she made her collegiate debut against Samford in the season opener. One of the highlights of her freshman year was being the only player to log 22 minutes on the court during an SEC game at Vanderbilt. However, as she transitioned into her junior season, Gordon’s impact on the court diminished, aside from earning the SEC Freshman of the Week title.

During her junior season, Gordon was not a starter for most of the games as she got the chance only once while playing in 32 games. The Alabama basketball player put up 43 points, 74 rebounds, 16 steals, and 12 assists in her junior year. It is a possibility that Gordon and her ex-boyfriend, as well as NFL player Bryce Young, are acquainted with each other. Notably, Bryce was a QB for Alabama’s football team, the Crimson Tide. But how did Bryce land in between the buzz around Tyrese Maxey and Myra Gordon?

How did Myra Gordon’s NFL connection bring her under scrutiny?

Myra was reportedly dating NFL player Bryce Young, but she was recently seen with Tyrese Maxey at the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons game. The two were even spotted together on the jumbotron, smiling and cheering. It pushed fans to speculate about their relationship status. Unfortunately, Bryce lost his job as QB on the Carolina Panthers due to a lack of offensive productivity. Adding salt to the injury was the recent IG story from Tyrese and Myra that irked fans. Some of Bryce’s fanbase is judging Gordon, but no one is in the position to do that.

So, the domino effect affected Tyrese Maxey and Myra Gordon due to the latter’s NFL connection. But it might be just a coincidence. The basketball duo might have started meeting much before the rumored NFL relationship. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.
