tried to? she had him up there reciting statements during commercial break like his livelihood depended on it
dude aint been the same since

And that’s on ESPN for letting it get to that point and not publicly defending her as she’s not at the experience yet of someone like Nichols to brush it off
Why not Elle Duncan ? She cute
someone at big boss it's over
Literally, all she had to do was keep that same energy for everybody
Like I said in the IST thread, she pissed off just about every demographic:
Brehs because she proved that she only has smoke for brehs
Women because what is sisterhood when one doesn't defend their own during a time of need? Especially when the victim is a minor
Cacs because "she had a spark when she first started, now she just garbage". She actually fell off since she became the lead
Colleagues because she thinks she knows more than former players even though she didn't play at any level
Hate to say this, but Rachel was better at the job. They ought to give the role to Monica McNutt. I'll even prefer Chiney Ogwumike goofy ass over Malika. She's a part of the reason why ESPN is so bland with their coverage of the NBA.
stephanie ready has needed that call for the past 5 yearsno way those boos only came from black men in the crowd tho
she universally hated
She's on a different path IMO as I think she's going to end up joining one of those morning talk shows when it's all said and done like Dana Jacobson did. They've already tested the waters before with her on GMA.
yeah only thing I wouldn't go as far as to say is Rachel was better, idk about that, but I think they are essentially interchangable and have said as much.
I guess Nichols might have seemed to be more popular with the general public/her co-workers though.
Nichols did have the relationship and longevity with the NBA players working in her favor, which is something that Malika just doesn’t have.
still can't get over middleton's teacher's assistant face after being stuck with her when giannis walked off

They won't, her and Molly are in ESPN's good graces plus alot of their respective journalists always comes to bat for them.
It will be interesting however what happens to Malika if ESPN/ABC loses the NBA rights.
ESPN's coverage was bland way before her and it will continue long after.
Be real, ESPN is the NFL Network 2, they barely cover the MLB, rarely cover the NHL and Soccer, and just cover the NBA for the sake of the contract, but look at their NFL coverage. These n-gga's will cover NFL topics heavily in times of the year the NFL doesn't need to be covered.
she did it to herself
She's human and has also got to know her reputation in internet circles and social media.
You want to start to change that? Start by giving the same energy to everyone. Start giving Brothas the benefit of the doubt that white dudes get off gp.
Gonna take time but she can change her rep if she starts with the basics and stops being extra when black men fukk up

Them GMA checks just hit completely different
Yup more money and less work. Look at someone like Dana Jacobson. ESPN tossed her to the bushes from First Take. She dipped out and now has a cushy morning show gigThem GMA checks just hit completely different
