Yeah, no SHIT…she’s on *some* sort of agenda. Bringing up people’s dirty laundry over and over again cause SHE has some sort of personal issue with it. She’s petty, vindictive, unprofessional and immoral on top of that. Not to mention two-faced (publishing that article about Giannis and then GOING TO ASK THIS MAN A QUESTION NOT LONG AFTERWARDS) and defamatory. I do honestly think at this point that she’s got SOMETHING against black men in general. Likely some past trauma and she’s handling it immaturely and incorrectly by displacing that trauma against other people.

I don’t think Jalen Rose needed to apologize but the situation didn’t need for her to be public. He was a public figure that did something against team rules and if he’s gonna get punished then some info needs to get out as to why. Her name and info is not really important to the matter. It’s a private matter that shouldn’t be punished that severely and yes she plays a part in this but having her name out in the public doesn’t do anyone any good but cause her harassment. He is definitely put in a bad light and will have that stain on him for a while or the length of his career, but he’s a major public figure in the organization, she may work for the org but unless she was super high in the org chart than her info involving a consensual relationship doesn’t need to be made public

This video is an Instant Classic. It is very detailed orientated, and touches on the most egregious, on air attacks of former NBA players, current League coaches, sports journalist show hosts and newly drafted players into the League. Not only is her intent to demean, discredit and vilify all the parties mentioned in this piece, but has given her a national/global platform for which she can strategically use to destroy their abilities to gain endorsements and build their brands, because in the case of second overall NBA draft pick, Brandon Miller, she chose to single him and his family out, on the biggest night of their lives, with her incendiary remarks at the draft. I am extremely impressed with how Giannis handled the situation, and are imploring and encouraging ALL NBA PLAYERS TO DO THE SAME. Further, I am requesting that the Players Association put a slush fund in place, in the event the League imposes a fine related to (her) media availability, and refuse interviews.

[@surfwriter8461]

Her interruption of SA Smith was totally disrespectful. But outing women who are often powerless compared to the men who used their position of power along the way is not respectful, either. The difference between Udoka and the woman he had a sexual relationship with is huge--much different position, profile and responsibility to the organization. No one is saying women can do no wrong. But you're talking like a misogynist who is always trying to excuse men who take advantage of their position of power because some woman was a "willing" participant. That's often, but not always, much more complex than you make it seem.

Agreed but here’s the thing. They’re afraid to get rid of her because of a few horny guys who may watch primarily because of her looks. But that age demographic is between around 16-24, and as ESPN will soon find out through ratings, that is not their primary base. After that age frame, adolescent thinking tends to leave the male brain. We think more clearly. We realize that women who look like Malika are literally everywhere. And most importantly we realize that no matter a woman’s physical appearance, if her demeanor and disposition is ugly then SHE is ugly. And as their ratings begin to tank because they sacrificed real NBA reporting talent and ex players for this self hating misfit, hopefully they realize they need to make better hiring/firing decisions in the future.

I hate how she got Jalen Rose fired for "touching her armpit" is a smh moment if I have seen one. Also in the conversation with Steven A. how it's hypocritical to bring personal matters public and Malika takes it as him "BLAMING WOMEN" like wtf thats so Woke. I believe if I said on national television "Reports are in that former Nba player Adreian Payne at 31 got shot and is dead. He played 4 seasons in the Nba and also once got accused of sexual assault" but I believe (not trying to be sexist) because she is a "STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN" as being portrayed by ESPN she is there for the status quo. I wish she was fired but she probably won't be and that is ESPN's choice to make.

They should’ve kept people who actually played the sport And veteran analyst the only reason why they kept her because she’s half black If it’s their culture on ESPN, they’re trying to change let’s be honest, she cuts everybody off who are commentators

[@sbradshaw1886]

I didn't know about that until watching this video. That is completely unexceptable. People should have been sharing that and truly protesting ESPN for that - people claim that they don't watch anymore but if it were true these shows wouldn't still be on

[@OP_-pk9hm]

I find Malika Andrews to be an annoying and egotistical presence on NBA coverage. She makes the content feel watered down as if the NBA is some kind of boys club where everyone is buddy-buddy, and she owns the entire league and network. In the past, the NBA had a more "tenacity and a slick demeanor" to it, which is still captured through the TNT crew. However, Malika tries to make the league young, soft, and like a boys & girls club. I want to hear from the old heads with the ACTUAL wisdom and experience to speak about the game. I want to hear from JJ Reddick, Jamal Crawford, Vince Carter, Jeff Van Gundy, and SVG. These people know the game inside and out, and they can provide CREDIBLE insights that Malika simply cannot. But she carries herself like she is the most qualified to speak to any player and say whatever she wants. Like, lady, you were hired initially because you had a somewhat pretty face and used the victim-race card to beat your competition; stop the ego.

[@georgepetrov5669]

I won't argue with you at all about Malika, but half the people you listed in your last paragraph are not good media personalities in the slightest. I LOVED Vince Carter as a basketball player, but he damn near stutters when he speaks in front of the camera, that's how unsure he is; Jamal Crawford was also a great player, but when he's on NBA on TNT, you can clearly see what a black hole of charisma he is compared to Barkley, Shaq or EVEN Kenny Smith. Not every former player or coach can be a great analyst / television personality. That's why journalism is taught at universities all around the world and people like Charles Barkley are a rarity.

[@felipecouto1102]

Not a single one of the guys you mentioned, except JJ, is even remotely capable of not being awkward in front of a camera. And there's a REASON he's appearing less: the old heads you mentioned heavily dislike him for always talking the truth. JJ makes Mad Dog, Stephen A and other old media darlings ashamed on national television for their bullshit takes, so they dont like to bring him on air. The NBA coverage ALWAYS was a boys club, filled with ego and bad takes. Its not because of Malika, dont get trippin

[@OP_-pk9hm]

@@georgepetrov5669 will every basketball player be capable and skillful at reporting, no, but it’s about giving them chances, finding their sweet spot. Maybe they need new roles in different networks, but my point being that we need the game to stay the game. Malika and these other ESPN entertainers (what they truly are) suck the game of basketball from the NBA

[@B-Shack]

Again, the Malika hate is over the top. She’s a talented reporter that has a lot of versatility. She can host in studio, she does special reporting, she works the sidelines, and she has hosted the draft the last 2 years in a row. She is basically the “go-to” person now on NBA reporting. If you are truly listening, she knows basketball. But, she allows the analysts to do their job! Has she gotten out of pocket on player personal issues? Yes. Does she seem to fly the “feminist” banner? Yes. But, to suggest she isn’t talented, or doesn’t do her job, or deserves to lose her job is totally unwarranted and unjustified!
