Hoopers apparently have a thing for women who pack a punch slap ... 'cause combat sports star Mikael-Michelle Brown tells TMZ Sports her DMs are filled with NBA players shooting their shots!!
The Power Slap fighter -- who recently launched her own Passes account -- opened up on what her private social media activity has been like since she came onto the scene ... and she said it's been quite the experience.
"My DMs now versus a couple months ago are so different," the 26-year-old said.
