Yes, people are making a lot about Draya. like, yes, the relationship could be considered inappropriate, but to be fair to her, this is the first black athlete she’s dated, making money worth her time and a career on the rise. it wasn’t the same posting about you being traded every two seasons

Haha Draya reposting that contract is quite scary, as the players themselves don’t even post their contracts, nor do their wives or girlfriends

Congratulations to Draya on Jalen Green’s contract extension, she worked hard and earned this shit

I don’t understand Draya’s hate. If YOUR romantic partner essentially received a significant pay raise that profoundly increased the quality of life, of your family, of your NEW child, wouldn’t you be happy and congratulate them??….oh 😂
