Undoubtedly, collegiate sports are nurturing a new line of athletes who excel both on and off the court. Last year, it was Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark and Sky standout Angel Reese who transcended sports. This year, Flau’jae Johnson and Paige Bueckers have taken the initiative to become renowned figures in the basketball world. However, these collegiate standouts aren’t waiting for the beginning of the season to join the queue.
On August 6th, Flau’jae Johnson took to her official Instagram account and posted a couple of pictures. Alongside the photos, she wrote, “Knew That I Was Different.. Europe Is Beautiful, Croatia 🇭🇷 Was Amazing.. Shoutout to @izzy_besselman digital camera #NewEra #BeKindToOneAnother Hair: @karjahcarterofficial always.”
As the LSU Lady Tigers’ standout continues to rise, she’s enjoying some relaxing time. What better way to do it than go out with friends? That is exactly the mantra the basketball player adopted. Stunned in a stylish white bikini paired with a matching white crochet cover-up off the coast of Dubrovnik, Croatia, Johnson seemed to be enjoying herself.

She dominated social media A-listers Angel Reese and Livvy Dunne by passing time on her luxurious boat. The hoop star did not shy away from completing the TikTok trend, “Just give me my money.” Sure enough, Johnson is maintaining an unwavering friendship bond with her friends. While some of them accompanied her in Croatia, others joined her in the comment section of her post. However, it wasn’t just her friends who took her social media by storm. Her fans also played a vital role.
“Beautiful” fans amazed by Flau’jae Johnson’s all-white look
For Flau’jae Johnson’s fans, their favorite is the best. Be it her skills on the court, or even her pictures. To appreciate yet another talent of the basketball diva, one of the users wrote, “Ohhhhhhhhh my little Croatian model!!!.” This indicates that Johnson already had basketball and rapping as her skill set, now she has just upgraded that aptitude. Adding a cherry on top, another spectator penned, “Beautiful Baller & Rapper.” It seems her 1.9 million followers love her for being an all-rounder in life.
However, it isn’t just her spectators. Her friend, Mani Dollaz, despite not making it to Croatia with her, could not resist commenting. He kept it simple yet adorable, penning two heart-eyed emojis. Accompanying him in the comment section, Johnson’s mate Aneesah Morrow also left heart-eyed emojis.
Meanwhile, the standout seems to be LSU’s guard. Izzy Besselman penned, “You must have a talented photographer.” At first glance, it might seem like she’s really appreciating the cameraman. Actually, she really is, but she’s the “talented photographer” herself. Flau’jae Johnson credited Besselman in the captions for the photography.
