Did an NBA player really pay $7,000 to have a random TikTok girl brought into the bubble and keep him company? That is the mystery fans are trying to answer on Thursday morning after a young woman made that very claim.
On Wednesday, a video went viral on TikTok of a young woman claiming to be in Disney’s Grand Floridian hotel, where she maintains quarantines are taking place for eventual entry into the bubble.
Although she reportedly deleted the TikTok that started this entire conversation, it lived on anyway because the internet is forever.

Unsurprisingly, no NBA player has come out to claim his groupie yet.
Some fans were taken aback by the young woman’s claims, though. They took to Twitter to express their reactions.

You guys are telling me an NBA player can’t get women who look like this(or better) for free? Cause I find that really hard to believe

Whether or not someone actually bothered to bring this girl into the bubble remains up for debate, but what this whole saga inevitably did was remind everyone of Danuel House Jr.
House, a member of the Houston Rockets, was sent home from the NBA Bubble for letting an unauthorized female into his hotel room – thus violating bubble protocol.

Last week, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant appeared on the Joe Budden Podcast and gave his thoughts on that whole situation.
“If you’ve been in a bubble away from some action for 3 months? I mean, you can’t blame him, dog,” he said.
“And I heard it was no females at all outside of [COVID testers.] The maids were all men, there was nothing but men around,” he continued.

“After a couple of months, you’re down 3-1? Nah, He said, ‘I don’t give a f*** no more,’ man.”
One way or another, the truth about this TikTok chick and her bubble claims will inevitably come out. Either she is lying and had to delete her video when the truth came out, or she was telling the truth and had to delete her video when the truth came out.
Regardless – an answer will reveal itself sooner or later.
What is for certain is this, though: NBA players need to be careful.
As Devin Booker and his Phoenix Suns teammates have learned the hard way over the past few weeks – nothing stays a secret anymore.
