On the court, Unrivaled’s Vinyl BC team faced off against Kate Martin’s Laces in a highly anticipated game that marked Vinyl BC’s first losing streak. The game ended with a heart-pounding 83-79 scoreline, with Laces just edging out their opponents. But despite the loss, Vinyl BC garnered massive attention that had fans buzzing.

It was Rae Burrell’s physique that caught everyone’s eye. And why not? The WNBA star has been lifting four days a week to maintain her muscles, with a heavy focus on exercises like squats, bench presses, bird dog rows, and pulldowns. She’s also incorporated speed drills to improve her acceleration.

Well, that’s not all it takes to get those toned abs. Burrell makes sure to get plenty of sleep to complement all that hard work. “Sometimes your body just wants to stay up, but I try to make sure that I’m in bed and ready to go to sleep by at least 12 a.m.,” she shared in a recent interview.

On top of that, she had to prepare for Unrivaled, a league featuring a new format that required her to pilot a brand-new style of three-on-three on a shorter full court. And that’s pure hard work we saw on the Unrivaled court. How could fans not be lured in?

Vinyl BC’s first loss at Unrivaled, but Rae Burrell ensures to make fans buzzing!

It’s not just about the abs, though—though, yes, they’re hard to ignore. Fans took to social media to rave about the entire vibe. “Rae Burrell serving in the tunnel fit walk!” one fan tweeted, hyping up the entire Unrivaled crew.

Although she played for just six minutes, Burrell managed to hit 3 out of 5 field goals and 1 out of 2 three-pointers, contributing 9 points to the team’s total. It may seem normal, but considering she played for only six minutes, it’s impressive.

Another fan wasn’t holding back, commenting, “Does Rae Burrell know she fine as hell?” It’s clear fans can’t get enough of the looks coming from this group. “Rae Burrell,” added another fan, with a gif indicating her look was beyond words.

This isn’t the first time Burrell’s abs have been on full display. While in Miami, Cameron Brink celebrated her birthday in a glowing, glow-in-the-dark dress, followed by a six-pack-abs-revealing dance alongside Rae. Even then, fans couldn’t stop buzzing over her sizzling look. But that wasn’t all. She also dropped a show-stopping miniskirt fit, setting the bar high for any night-out attire.

And just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any hotter, Burrell shared another glimpse of her night-out look in today’s showdown, leaving fans seriously impressed. “Rae Burrell so damn fine,” another fan commented, clearly enamored with her effortless chic. “Rae Burrell said the abs are the fit!” one post raved, putting the spotlight on the work Burrell’s been putting in both on and off the court.

While Rae ensured to make waves, it certainly wasn’t a good day for Vinyl BC as the team suffered its first loss. Now, they stand third among six teams with 2 wins and 1 loss. What do you think? Will they be able to bounce back?
