Lexie Hull, Indiana Fever’s scrappy shooter with a Stanford smarts badge, is bringing the heat—and a dash of charm—to the 3-on-3 Unrivaled Basketball League. Joining her star-studded Rose Basketball Club squad alongside Angel Reese, Hull is ready to prove that basketball and fashion can coexist in perfect harmony.
When Rose BC dropped an Instagram photo set featuring its “half dozen roses” posing with roses (because subtlety is overrated), fans were in awe. The caption? A chef’s kiss of melodrama:
“YOUR HALF DOZEN ROSES HAVE ARRIVED 🌹 #RoseBC”
Not to be outdone, Lexie Hull swooped into the comments section with a reaction dripping with excitement and emojis:
“Look how cuuuuuute ❤️❤️❤️”
Honestly, Lexie’s enthusiasm is like your overly supportive friend at brunch hyping up every outfit choice—but it’s exactly the vibe this budding league needs.
A Bouquet of Stars
Hull and Reese aren’t the only petals on this bouquet. Chelsea Gray (Las Vegas Aces), Kahleah Copper (Phoenix Mercury), Brittney Sykes (Washington Mystics), and Azura Stevens (LA Sparks) round out the team. Coached by Nola Henry, whose resume includes Connecticut Sun stints and dunking on haters, Rose BC looks less like a basketball team and more like the starting lineup of a Netflix basketball drama.
The Unrivaled Basketball League, co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier (aka the Beyoncé and Jay-Z of women’s hoops), is shaking up the sports world. It’s three months of fast-paced, fashion-forward basketball starting Jan. 17 in Miami. TNT Sports has the broadcast rights because, obviously, this is the kind of chaos the world wants to watch.
Hull’s Hot Streak
Lexie Hull enters this league on a high note after a career-best WNBA season with the Indiana Fever. The once-sleepy franchise woke up, making the playoffs for the first time in eight years. Hull’s contributions? How about career highs of 5.5 points per game and a sizzling 47.1% from beyond the arc? That’s Steph Curry levels of shooting efficiency—if Steph also brought snacks for the team bus.
Caitlin Clark, the Fever’s do-it-all rookie sensation, even penned a virtual love letter about Hull, calling her “inspiring.” We’re not saying Hull is the heart and soul of the Fever, but if the team were a rom-com, she’d be the quirky best friend holding it all together.
The Rose BC Assignment
Now, Lexie’s job is simple: Hustle on defense, rain threes on offense, and look fabulous doing it. It’s basketball meets reality TV meets high fashion—like America’s Next Top Model if Tyra Banks could drain step-back jumpers.
Will Hull and the Rose BC squad conquer Unrivaled? Will Angel Reese and Kahleah Copper bring the comedy while Chelsea Gray handles business? One thing’s for sure: this isn’t your grandma’s basketball league—unless your grandma is out here crossing people up.
Buckle up, basketball fans. The drama, the dimes, and the designer poses are coming. And Lexie Hull? She’s ready to deliver—one Instagram comment at a time.
