The Los Angeles Lakers found a very solid player in Austin Reaves. He wasn’t even picked in the NBA Draft and had to work his way up the rotation, but he’s now a key contributor to the team.

Reaves became the team’s starting shooting guard by the end of the season. More than that, he got a big payday, signing a $50+ million contract to stay with the purple and gold.

That’s what made a young woman realize that she may have made a mistake when she turned him down because she had a boyfriend. In fact, she went viral because of that.
