@@maxinefowler1186 she’s not professional at all. At a certain point you have to ask yourself how much should have to take. Her position is often disrespectful to players who have played the game on a professional level. She has made it her business on several occasions to disrespect her constituents on countless occasions. This isn’t white VS black. This isn’t women VS men. This is a situation where someone namely a woman has made it her business to air out laundry that has already been taken out. In other words she’s made it her business to talk about allegations on professionals that have either been already been dropped or dismissed. Malik’s Andrews has made it her business to do this particularly with African Americans specifically. Like I said I’m not goin to make it about race but this is a clear stance she has taken. Her approach won’t be respected by any professional athlete bc they know that her questions lead down a road that isn’t in the best interest of the players.

I loved every moment of this walkout; i was like: GIANNIS, GIANNIS, GIANNIS 👍👍👍👍!!

[@RaiderRSupastar]

I heard about Giannis on 60 Minutes . I like him. No doubt Milwaukee my favorite to the 2023 Finals

[@nickmac6998]

Can’t believe her and perk weren’t the first ones fired. So glad I don’t watch espn and just watch the games but even clips of her piss me off

[@starrcashian4767]

Stephen A tried to smooth it over, but I think it's a bad look on ESPN to have one of their broadcasters (Malika), publicly lose the respect of one of the biggest names in today's NBA. It's very obvious that most of the brothers in the NBA ain't feeling this two-faced snob. ESPN better wake up and smell the coffee.

ESPN had an amazing NBA reporter named Rachel Nichols. ESPN went Disney and no more Rachel. Whoops.

[@beedebawng2556]

Thanks so much for this post. I remember this incident. I had no idea who the "reporter" was and had no idea Malika existed. What makes it even more interesting is how much Stephen A was defending Malika. Yet, she still went on his show and tried to diminish him. Goes to show you how lacking she is of integrity. 🤔

After he walked out, he should of walked back in, then walked back out again 😂

[@NintyPrime]

I remember this back then and the look on Khris Middletons face was so priceless. He's like wait a second, Giannis really going to stand up and leave me hanging? Not sure if Giannis maybe had to go to the bathroom really bad or if he actually was upset about the line of questioning. Because it wasn't really that bad of a question. And Khris seemed so confused - I am sure today Khris knows why Giannis walked, but in that moment I literally laughed.

[@durangobasics6195]

I really suspect he had to answer an emergency call of nature lol

[@jamesgreen5461]

I love how he set that up ask then he bounce no answer LoL 😂😂😂😂

[@bernetjackson447]

Giannis and Malika has history that's goes way beyond that press conference. She was the local sports beat writer in Milwaukee, before working at ESPN. She did some local terrible stories on Giannis. That's why he doesn't care for her.

I appreciate everybody digging up her bs like she loves doing everybody else
