A video of TikTok model Dipika Dutt trying to recruit Myles Turner to the Lakers has gone viral on the internet, and the reactions on Twitter are massive.
It’s reported that the Lakers are interested in a deal for Myles Turner and Dipika seems to be playing some part in making that happen.
Silver Screen and Droll have got the details of how it all started and how Dipika could convince Myles to move to the Lakers.
It all started when Dutt — known as @Itspikaaa on TikTok, where she has 990.3K followers — asked Turner to “come to the Lakers.” The 25-year-old center replied back, asking Dutt to dinner.
She replied back with a video — known as a “Stitch,” in TikTok parlance, or so much much cooler wife tells me — telling him she would go to dinner with him… when he was on the Lakers.
At this point, it’s not clear if Turner is more thirsty for companionship, or just to get to the Lakers. But he replied back with a counter-offer of his own, in which he mock dressed up for dinner — and showed off a horrifyingly dirty butter knife — before asking Dutt if 10,000 likes would be acceptable (but, hilariously, still posting the “dinner when you’re on the Lakers” part on his own feed).
“I ain’t never been afraid to shoot my shot,” Turner quipped, in the understatement of the century. And after Turner began getting roasted by internet users for the whole saga, he asked Ballsack Sports for tips on how to flirt better. Yes, that is a sentence I attended Cal State Fullerton to learn to write. I apologize to every professor I’ve ever had.
It’s unclear how we got to the point where the Lakers’ title hopes potentially hinged on a TikTok model half-jokingly seducing a 25-year-old center that is currently recovering from a foot injury to Los Angeles, but here we are.
I am sure the Pacers love this interaction on social media. I am not sure if this is tampering, but it appears that Turner is starving out here in these TikTok streets.
