Amina Smith posing with Celtics background


Sports fans love sports, and since the majority of them are men, they also like seeing attractive women speaking about it.

Emmy award-winning television host Amina Smith has joined ESPN as an anchor for SportsCenter and she is already going viral.

“Joining ESPN is truly a dream come true,” she said. “I’m excited for the opportunity to connect with fans blending my knowledge and passion for sports and entertainment to deliver engaging, fun, and thoughtful content.

“As a former athlete and being surrounded by sports my entire life, ESPN has always been in the picture and I’m ecstatic to finally call the network home – a place where I can continue to show up as my authentic self while connecting with viewers from all walks of life.”

 


Fans absolutely love her:



Smith joined NBC Sports Boston in 2021, where she served as an on-air and podcast host and contributor.

Her final day will be on March 20th. This may also be the date of her last broadcast — the Celtics play the Bucks at home that evening.
