Andre Roberson is dating Rachel DeMita.

If you don’t know who Rachel DeMita is, just look at anything NBA 2K-related. After moving to Los Angeles from Washington D.C., DeMita earned an audition with NBA 2KTV. After landing the gig, she became an Adidas spokesperson and traveled around the country endorsing products and keeping up her 2K responsibilities.

In doing so, she earned a spot on Bleacher Report’s Power 50 and racked up an impressive 1M+ followers on Instagram
 including OKC’s own Andre Roberson.

Although speculated for a while, the couple didn’t officially announce their relationships until late summer 2018. And soon after, everyone jumped on the same (easy) joke. As the Spun explains:

"The irony here, though, is what everyone wants to seem to talk about. DeMita, who is a social media star, is still a pretty good ballplayer. She’s also a really good shooter – to the point where she’s put out videos on YouTube to show off her shooting prowess. Why does this matter? Roberson is one of the worst shooters in the NBA. He’s a career 47% from the free throw line. So yes, while Roberson is in the NBA, it’s DeMita who is the far better shooter of the two."

As for NBA 2K19 only two players on the OKC Thunder have their new rankings to date. Russell Westbrook comes in with a 93 rating (the same as last season) and Paul George rating is 89.
