LOVE & BASKETBALL

This one comes to us from the fellas at thebiglead.com…

Apparently during his long trip to Europe Jrue Holiday is doing more then just making appearances on behalf of adidas and working out with his brother. 

It seems that the 76ers rising point guard also has a significant and personal rooting interest in the US Women’s National Soccer team. 

While it has yet to be “officially” confirmed (and not that it needs to be), thebiglead.com looked at the evidence on Twitter, the connected then dots or Tweets in this case, and it appears that Holiday (@Jrue_Holiday11 ) is dating former UCLA soccer star and current USWNT player Lauren Cheyney (@laurencheney8).

It seems pretty obvious that the two world class athletes probably met during their days at UCLA together.

Catch the evidence after the jump…

Below are the romantic Tweets between Holiday and Cheney (pics at left). 

If you watched the last thrilling WNT game, you know that ESPN also showed shots of Jrue in the crowd during the epic win over Brasil.
