There’s truly no offseason for Taylor Rooks when it comes to staying involved in the world of sports.
On Monday night, Rooks was at Crypto.com Arena to watch the Atlanta Dream square off against the Los Angeles Sparks. She witnessed a historic performance from Angel Reese, who had 11 points and 26 rebounds.
Not only did Reese set a single-game rebounding record for the WNBA, she set the record for most total rebounds in a season.
“Last time I was here, I didn’t miss any shots. Tonight I couldn’t hit (anything) so I knew I was going be able to get them on the rebounding side,” Reese said postgame. “I just want to be there for my team. Offensively, defensively, whatever it takes to win.”

Even though Reese made history, it was Rooks who went viral online Monday night. She was spotted courtside in a red top that legitimately left some of her fans speechless.
“I totally understand Why grown athletes go spill their whole team’s deep dark secrets when sitting across from Taylor Rooks,” one fan said.
“90’s fine,” another fan commented.
She’s one of the best in the business.
Rooks spent the 2025-26 NBA season hosting Prime Video’s studio show alongside former All-Stars in Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin.
In addition to covering the NBA for Prime Video, Rooks is the sideline reporter for the network’s “Thursday Night Football” broadcast.
“Rooks has also spent time with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, conducting interviews for Bleacher Report, contributing to special interview segments and serving as a sideline reporter for NBA on TNT and other programming,” her bio for Prime Video states. “She hosts Taylor Rooks X, Bleacher Report’s first show built around an individual talent. Rooks was Emmy-nominated in 2021 for ‘Outstanding Personality/Emerging On-Air Talent.’ In 2023, she was recognized as a part of Complex’s 25 Most Entertaining Sports Media Personality list, and in 2022, she was recognized by Black Enterprise as part of its annual ’40 Under 40′ list.”
With the NFL season coming up, it won’t be long before Rooks goes viral again.
