Coby White = John Paul Jones

John Paul Jones became an instant fan-favorite on The Bachelorette. He has a surfer-dude vibe, long, flowing hair and owns some of the most memorable moments of the season (the chicken nugget eating and the shrieking in pain on a group date). Plus, he has people call him “John Paul Jones” which is quite the flex.

Coby White now has a similar internet presence. Remember when his college teammate was drafted about 10 spots too high in the 2019 NBA Draft and Coby lost his mind?

The biggest difference between John Paul Jones and Coby White is “JPJ” didn’t last very long on the show. His relationship with Hannah never seemed all that serious. Coby, on the other hand, will likely be around the Bulls for a long, long time. His relationship with the Bulls (and Bulls fans) is already super serious.

Plus, Coby has the best hair on the Bulls, and JPJ had the best hair on The Bachelorette.
