This is the real “Love & Basketball” ladies and gents…
Congratulations are in order for Kevin Durant! Just weeks after signing a deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports, he proposed to his basketball player girlfriend
Monica Wright, and of course, she said “Yes.” Over the weekend, the
rumor mill was buzzing with reports that Kevin Durant had put a ring on
it, after a photo emerged of the WNBA star wearing a huge rock on her finger, and the reports were confirmed last night.
After the Lynx game, Star Tribune writer Kent Youngblood posted to Twitter:
Post-game Monica Wright confirmed reports that she and Kevin Durant are engaged. So there’s that.
Seattle Storm forward Tina Thompson also spilled the beans beforehand when she tweeted:
Super CONGRATS to @monnie22 and @KDTrey5 two of my #faves so so so happy for you all! I love, love!
What’s super cute about this story is that back in 2011, Kevin Durant tweeted that he needed a basketball player girlfriend, while referencing the movie “Love & Basketball.” He not only snagged his basketball player girlfriend, but she ironically has the same name as the lead character in the movie.
They say “ask and you will receive…”
The engagement comes just weeks after Kevin Durant was baptized at Hillsong Church
in New York City. During a recent church service, Monica, is also very
open about her faith, and ironically tweeted just days before the
engagement allegedly happened:
