Former hockey goalie Mikayla Demaiter is back at it again. This time, she has apparently decided that basketball needs saving. And according to her, she’s the one woman for the job.
Demaiter recently shared thirst traps of herself holding a basketball while rocking tight pants and a crop top that left absolutely nobody wondering what the photoshoot was trying to accomplish. The former netminder struck a series of poses with the basketball, looking less like she was preparing for Game 7 of the NBA Finals and more like she was preparing to break Instagram’s servers.
In the caption, Mikayla jokingly claimed she was “single-handedly improving basketball viewership.” Bold statement!
The photos quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments. As usual, her followers flooded the comment section with compliments, fire emojis, and the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for a buzzer-beater from half court.
Of course, this isn’t exactly new territory for Demaiter.
Ever since stepping away from hockey, she has built a massive social media following by consistently posting hot photos that leave fans wondering if she ever takes a bad picture.
While some athletes spend their retirement years golfing, fishing, or appearing on podcasts nobody watches, Demaiter has mastered the art of turning every casual photo into a viral event.
And honestly, you have to respect the consistency.
One day she’s posing at the beach, the next day she’s in a stunning outfit somewhere exotic. Now she’s holding a basketball and claiming responsibility for boosting ratings.
At this pace, don’t be surprised if she grabs a tennis racket next week and takes credit for Wimbledon attendance.
The funniest part is that basketball itself almost feels secondary in the photos. The ball looked like it was just happy to be included.
