During Game 2 of the Los Angeles Lakers–Minnesota Timberwolves first-round playoff series, fans expected plenty of fireworks on the court, and they got them. Luka Doncic and LeBron James led the Lakers to a crucial bounce-back win, tying the series 1-1 with a gritty 94-85 victory. 

But while the game action was intense, a completely unexpected moment stole the internet’s attention: an attractive woman sitting behind JJ Redick during the broadcast.

The ESPN cameras focused in on Redick, now head coach of the Lakers, as he barked instructions from the sidelines. Yet it wasn’t the rookie coach that viewers were focused on. Sitting just behind him was a striking woman who instantly became the center of attention across social media.

The reactions came in fast and furious across Reddit. One fan wrote, “A lot to process in this picture,” perfectly summarizing the collective reaction to the unexpected appearance. 

Another comment summed up the sentiment more bluntly: “Exactly, who is that baddie behind JJ? F***k.” 

It didn’t take long before fans were openly declaring their admiration. “Mama, I think I’m in love,” one person confessed, while another added, “Nah respectfully she’s special.” 

It was clear this wasn’t just a passing glance, viewers were fully captivated.

What made the moment even funnier was how completely JJ Redick faded into the background in the minds of many. 

One comment nailed it: “I was told JJ Redick is in this photo. I cannot see where.” 

Another echoed that confusion, admitting, “Didn’t even notice JJ there for a good minute.” 

For a head coach in his first playoff series, Redick was probably hoping to command attention, for his game plan, not who was sitting behind him.

As the internet does best, people went into detective mode. “To be honest, I would prefer the name and number of the babe in the background XD. I’m a simple man,” one user posted, summing up the straightforward curiosity of many.

Some even attempted to identify her with the help of online tools. 

“Try PimEyes or FaceCheck. Is it Jessica Burciaga?” asked one hopeful sleuth, referencing facial recognition platforms as the search for her identity gained momentum.

The viral moment briefly overshadowed what was a massive win for Redick and the Lakers. Led by Doncic’s 31-point near triple-double and LeBron’s all-around effort, the Lakers regained control of the series narrative after a poor Game 1 showing. Still, fans couldn’t resist turning a courtside shot into an impromptu celebrity moment.

In many ways, this wasn’t just another case of a viral courtside fan catching attention, this was a reminder of how closely NBA broadcasts are watched, analyzed, and, let’s face it, memed into internet history. 

Just as the league thrives on highlight-reel plays and superstar drama, moments like these create a buzz that transcends basketball itself.

The scene also reignited the ongoing fascination with courtside culture in the NBA. From celebrities and influencers to unexpected viral stars, being courtside at a playoff game is no longer just about watching the game; it’s part of the show.

As for JJ Redick, who was completely oblivious to the buzz surrounding his sideline moment, he might not have realized he was sharing the screen with someone internet-famous in the making. While his adjustments helped the Lakers win, it was someone behind him who had the internet talking all night long.

In a league filled with drama, dunks, and playoff intensity, sometimes it’s a single camera angle and the power of social media that steals the show.
