NBA fans are trolling Valkyrae after the streamer recently revealed that Grant Williams was trying to shoot his shot with her by asking her to watch him play against the Lakers. Valkyrae apparently met Williams in the previous matchup, where she and a bunch of her friends did not get to see the hooper on the court much since he was benched.
Afterwards, the group managed to grab some pictures with Williams and the baller asked them to see him play against the Lakers in Thursday’s matchup. Fans have been having wild reactions to this, with some calling out Valkyrae for sparking a rumor that Williams is actually interested in her.
“Grant was benched a lot, but every time he was on the court, we were rooting for him. Also, you know, they lost, but it’s okay. We met him afterwards, we took photos, I posted the story in my story, and it was awesome. He actually invited us to go to the Lakers game on Thursday.” Valkyrae said.

“she could easily decline without bringing it public.” one fan said.
“he’s making an attempt on a clout chaser (crying emoji)” another fan said.
“Girls be putting the boys on blast to get clicks,” one more fan said.

More and more NBA fans are calling out Valkyrae for bringing up the topic in public and airing it as if Grant Williams was actually hitting on her. Many felt that the streamer was simply doing this to gain more followers and build her brand.

“Was it necessary to bring it in public?” another fan asked.
“Dude is 27, she’s 34, usually these types of age gaps amount to one thing and that’s a fling. Almost 10 year age gap, guy probably will want kids, I remember hearing Valkyrae saying she doesn’t. This will be a nice little story for him and also a story for her to tell her friends and make Hasan jealous (laughing with tears emoji)” one fan speculated, referring to Valkyrae and Hasan Piker’s dating rumors.
Anyway, if Valkyrae does indeed make it to the next Hornets game, she and her girls will be treated to a sorry scene since Grant Williams is expected to be benched for the majority of the matchup.
