Men were crashing out all over the internet following an announcement from Taylor Rooks that no one saw coming.

The reporter has plenty of male fans simply on account of her looks – Rooks’ looks are no joke – so they were naturally disappointed to learn that she had been taken off the market.

That’s right, Taylor is married. She revealed as much via Instagram on Wednesday, leaving everyone shocked as most fans assured she’d been single the whole time.

Rooks took to IG to post several photos from her wedding, which was a star-studded event, with the likes of Saquon Barkley, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Donovan Mitchell, Lala Anthony, and Michael Rubin among the many big names in attendance.


The news did not go down well with NBA Twitter.

 

“Nothing could have prepared me to see what Taylor Rooks posted on IG,” a fan declared.

“…..i just saw Taylor Rooks IG post,” another shared, along with a video, which was brilliantly followed up in the comments.

“I just opened up IG and saw Taylor got married. Please respect my privacy at this time,” one user lamented.

“It’s Taylor Rooks. This isn’t a joking matter. Please respect mens privacy at this time,” someone else warned.

“Taylor Rooks’ last post,” a fan added.

Someone else had a simple message for her…

This Year Is A Very Significant One For Taylor Rooks

Rooks was a national treasure, which was in part because everyone felt like they had a shot, strangely, of course.

It’s going to be a big year for the 33-year-old. Having just announced her nuptials, she’s also set to be the lead studio host for NBA coverage on Amazon Prime.

Rooks announced her departure from Turner Sports earlier this year and will join a cast of several notable names on the network, including Dwyane Wade, Candace Parker, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Dell Curry, Stan Van Gundy, and Brent Barry.

We’re not sure where to go with this, but we’re leaning toward congratulations.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
