Brandon Ingram had NBA fans fired up Tuesday night after delivering one of his best performances of the young season. In the Raptors’ narrow 110-108 win over the Charlotte Hornets, Ingram went straight into attack mode, capped by a violent poster dunk on Ryan Kalkbrenner that sent Toronto’s bench into chaos. The moment sparked a wave of reaction online — and plenty of playful credit toward GloRilla, Ingram’s girlfriend.
One fan joked, “That glorilla cat got em actin different.”

Another added, “Bro came to bully the opposing team.”
A third chimed in, “did it in the hardest NBA jersey of all-time.”
The Ingram–GloRilla relationship has been public since opening night, when the rapper soft-launched him as her boyfriend during the Raptors’ first game of the season against Atlanta. Cameras spotted her courtside wearing a necklace with Ingram’s jersey number, which immediately set social media buzzing.
On the floor, Ingram has quietly been one of Toronto’s pillars. Through 14 games with the Raptors, he’s putting up 20.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.0 steal per game — steady, efficient production that’s helped Toronto stay competitive early in the year.
“A Pelicans fan is in shambles”: NBA fans mock New Orleans after Ingram’s big night
Ingram’s strong start has also kept NBA fans talking about the trade that sent him from New Orleans to Toronto. With every big outing, the chatter grows a little louder — especially after his latest performance against Charlotte. The 27-point night, paired with six rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals, gave fans plenty of ammo to revisit how things ended with the Pelicans.
One fan wrote, “Somewhere a fantasy manager is thrilled and a Pelicans fan is in shambles.”

Another said, “Notorious B.I.3 is tough.”
A third added, “he actually look like a raptor fr.”
For Toronto, the early returns on the trade look promising. Ingram has settled in quickly as the team’s primary scorer and has shown a level of aggression that Raptors fans have been waiting to see. Whether it’s the change of scenery, a new role, or just momentum building at the right time, the reaction across NBA fans suggests one thing: people are starting to view Ingram a little differently — and so far, he’s backing it all up.
