Episode description

Welcome back, Hotties! This week in the Hoops for Hotties Sports Bar, we’re joined by LA Sparks star Lexie Brown! We kick off with a fun pre-game cocktail, the “Sexy Celexi”  (tequila + celery juice... trust us, it’s good!). Then, we dive into some hoops talk, her time in LA, and Lexie shares her unique perspective on being a professional athlete, her game-day rituals, and even spills some relationship tea . We also get real about social media, the WNBA, and what it's like being a woman in sports. Grab your drink and tune in, because you won’t want to miss this!

New episodes drop every Thirsty Thursday at 5 PM EST!
