PHOTO: ‘Stunning’ College Swimmer Spotted with NBA Star Fans Are Buzzing
A jaw-dropping new photo has surfaced of a “stunning” college swimmer getting cozy with an NBA star, and fans can’t stop talking about it. Social media detectives are already piecing together clues, trying to confirm if this is the league’s newest power couple.?

A Big 12 swimmer appears to have found love with a second-year NBA standout.
Karla Lessing is in her senior year at the University of Kansas. A native of Boulder, Colorado, she swims the freestyle and butterfly for the Jayhawks and is the daughter of two professional triathletes. Her father, Simon Lessing, was a five-time Pro Triathlete World Champion and competed for Great Britain at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
“I started swimming when I was 5 years old. My parents were both professional triathletes so they wanted to get me into the water at a young age,” Lessing’s official KU bio reads.
When she’s not in the pool, Lessing has a tendency to turn heads on social media, where she has more than 18,000 followers on Instagram.
On Sunday, Lessing shared an Instagram post that immediately caught people’s attention. There were several photos in the carousel, but the first one showed her at a recent Toronto Raptors home game posing alongside Raptors wing and former Kansas star Gradey Dick.
Dick, who spent one year at Kansas in 2022-23, was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He’s been a key contributor in two seasons with Toronto and is averaging 14.4 points per game this year.
It certainly seems like Dick and Lessing have now “hard launched” their relationship for the public.
“people and places I love,” Lessing captioned the post.
“beautiful girl❤️,” Dick wrote in the comments.
“Hard launch ig,” another person said.
“@gradey for the WIN 👏,” a third person added.
So far, Dick and Lessing don’t have any other pictures up together, but she also commented on his most recent IG post. Using context clues, their relationship seems like the real thing, so we wish them luck.
