Sure, Taylor Rooks is one of the best sports reporters in the game, but when she isn't on the court or field, she's participating in some sports of her own.

Taking to Instagram, Rooks posted a video of herself boxing on Friday, and it's safe to say she has some skills. Captioning the post "*watches Creed once,* her followers were also quick to notice her quick punches and fast footwork. "She said she gone be ready for that next courtside brawl IKDR Taylor," wrote one commenter. "Throw hands better than Stephen A! Get em Tay! 😍😍😍," added another.

The comments, of course, were in reference to Rooks being the one to cover the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks' first round series, which she herself playfully poked fun at once the series wrapped. "That’s a wrap from Indy….brawls and all 😂," she posted upon the series concluding, which also included a set of pics showcasing her stylish outfit.

For the game, Rooks opted to wear the Alphonse Dress from Ronny Kobo, which is delicately crafted, and designed with front pockets and a ruched skirt, accessorizing her look with a brown suede belt, and a pair of silver hoop earrings. On her feet were the Signoria Slingback pumps from Gucci, which are made with patent leather and emphasized by their pointed-toe design in the front. 

She will next be seen covering round two of the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
