Stephen A. Smith addresses criticism aimed at Malika Andrews

[@youngrob2121]

I've been saying this for the longest time. I've only seen Giannis refuse to answer one of her questions I believe he actually got up and left the room. So mad respect to him. But ESPN management loves what she is doing and there's not a doubt in my mind that they encourage her to do what she is doing. The only way they are going to get rid of her is when NBA players like Curry LeBron Leonard Durant Etc refuse to do interviews with her. But I believe that will never happen because of where we are as a society and social media with women being so quick to call them misogynistic and that hurting their brand. They would not want to mess up their money to do what is right. And let's be honest there's no way in hell that NBA players are not having the same conversations we are having about her. Again they are just afraid of the backlash of refusing to do an interview with a woman no matter are Justified

what dez said was completely right.

Bringing up brandon miller past on his draft night for something he was innocent in was disgusting.
