Michael Porter Jr. had an interesting guest on his podcast that may have had more connections to certain NBA players than he did.
Lana Rhoades, an ex-𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 film star, joined the NBA player on his “Curious Mike” podcast to talk about many topics, including the relationship she had with the father of her child. It was rumored to be either NBA free agent Blake Griffen or Raptors player Bruce Brown.
Rhoades went on to discuss the downside of working in the𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 film industry, a place in which she worked for around a year. She told Porter Jr. that people always assume that she has slept with every NBA player that she has hung out with. Rhoades adamantly denied the claim stating “I’ve never slept with any of them besides the one that I have a kid with.”
Rhoades also pointed out that the players never really expect her to indulge in anything with them, adding “We end up having, like, a respectful good, friendship.”
Who Is The NBA Father Of Rhoades’ Child?

While there has been much speculation, Rhoades has never confirmed nor denied the details about who her son Milo’s father might be.
Griffin has been the most rumored between the two players who were reportedly involved with Rhodes after a fake caption was added to a photo of the child, telling the power forward to visit his child.
While the child’s father may never be revealed, fans will continue to speculate who Milo’s father might be. But if there is one thing we can be sure of is that if that child makes the NBA, there will be a media firestorm.
“People Forget He’s a Rookie”- Luka Doncic Eases Expectations on Dereck Lively II Following Game 4 Performance

The Dallas Mavericks had the last opportunity to remain in the NBA Finals, and they made the most of it by snatching a 122-84 win in Game 4 over the Boston Celtics. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving mostly looked after the offense. However, they needed a third player who would come through to make an impact. The player was none other than Mavs rookie Dereck Lively II. His outstanding performance earned him praise from the franchise’s superstar.
During the post-game press conference, Doncic’s face lit up when asked to share his thoughts about Lively. Praising his teammate for the double-double contribution, the Slovenian said, “I think people forget he’s a rookie doing this stuff. He’s been amazing the whole season, just watching him grow has been unbelievable.”
Friday night was the first time since mid-November last year that Lively attempted a shot from behind the 3-point arc. But when Doncic passed him the ball, the 7-foot-1 center could hold himself back and shot a marvelous bucket from the deep. He finished the night with 11 points and 12 rebounds by shooting 4-of-5 from the floor.
However, his on-court performance helped the Mavs maintain their supremacy in the game, and his off-court actions also benefitted the team.
