EXPOSING The Dark Truth About Malika Andrews

Detroit Pistons Bad Boy John Sally once jokingly said the NBA stood for nothing but Africans when he uttered that remark the NBA was 86 African-American as of 2023 that demographic has shrunk to 73 percent isn't it ironic that a league that is still overwhelmingly African-American has ownership and a commissioner that does not represent the majority of its players another irony is one of ESPN's most enigmatic and controversial personalities is a black woman who has made some pretty interesting statements about black men and she covers the NBA Malika Andrews has a rare obscene public and clinical contempt of African-American men Malika Andrews covering the NBA is like a sexist man being a panel member on The View it's overwhelming a very brief check of her history will confirm why Malika Andrews is one of the most hated NBA analysts Malika Andrews journalist for the ESPN network has been a focal point of a lot of hate in the last couple of years what usually happens between players and experts has now become a battle between two top media figures that associate with the NBA but the journalist has been caught up in a controversy in the past as well back in 2019 Yana Santa decumpo was blatant about his feelings towards Andrews after an article she had written about him her piece speculated that The Greek Freak will leave the Milwaukee Bucks if they do not make improvements to the team Malika Andrews ESPN uh for both of you guys I'm curious you guys have talked a lot about how um at this point you know sometimes it takes experience I'm wondering if now that you have some of that experience if you see more validity to that point or what you think about that now that you've gone through it oh good this article was fresh when the Bucks lost to the 2019 Champions Toronto Raptors during the press conference Giannis was asked a question by Malika Andrews on experience he simply did not bother to answer got up and walked out of the room leaving Chris Middleton confused now the issue that got her in deep water was when she called out analyst Stephen A Smith for voicing his opinion on the Boston Celtics publicizing email udoka Scandal the journalists clapped back on live broadcasting Stephen A with all due respect this is not about pointing the finger stop what became apparent to me in this press conference is that we do not have all the information here let me be very clear I don't appreciate where you're going with that I'm not blaming anybody but IMEI udoka he deserves the fact of the matter is I've said he deserved to be fired if they were going to fire him if you're not going to fire him then don't fire him my issue is all of this being publicized the point that I'm trying to make is just like you're not listening excuse me excuse me I listen to you you're the one telling me to stop on my show it ain't happening Smith went on to reiterate his prior points specifically bemoaning the Celtics publicizing the story after going neck and neck against each other for several years Chris Paul and Stephen Curry are now teammates had such a scenario even been suggested in the past it would have been termed nonsensical the NBA business is certainly full of surprises and brutal at the same time but by highlighting some moments of the epic battles Stefan Paul shared while interviewing him I'm on ESPN after the trade host Malika Andrews found herself on the receiving end during an interview with Chris Paul on ESPN Andrews asked him about being teammates with Steph so the fans everything was great about the interview except the video that the channel decided to air while having Paul on the channel the video showed Curry breaking Paul's ankles and making him fall to the ground perhaps the blatant disrespect towards CP3 didn't sit well with the fans and they slammed Malika Andrews for low lighting the point God she was the subject of some social media backlash after she asked NBA Commissioner Adam Silver about the John Morant gun flashing video which led to the Memphis Grizzly Star latest suspension later on Silver appeared on ESPN as the San Antonio Spurs were awarded the number one overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft Andrews asked silver about his meeting with Morant after the Grizzlies guard was suspended for the first time flashing a gun in a Denver nightclub honestly I was shocked when I saw this weekend that video now we're in the process of investigating it and we'll figure out exactly what happened to the best we can then it's again it's the videos of the grainy and all that but I'm assuming the worst he said that he and Morant talked openly and honestly about the consequences that could stem from waving a firearm around while the question seemed pertinent given the situation some NBA fans were not happy with it Andrews faced some backlash on social media the 2023 NBA draft was a joyous occasion as players heard their names called by an NBA franchise one of the names that was called was Alabama Crimson Tide star Brandon Miller who was chosen number two overall by outgoing Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan Miller's Elite skill set is undeniable as the six foot nine two-way Wing has been linked to Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George for his smooth floor game but all wasn't easy for the Antioch Tennessee native who was involved in a murder case in January while he was not charged in the still unresolved case the controversy surrounding him was definitely something that teams probably brought up during his visits prior to the draft and while that's protocol for each team to do their extensive homework on prospects former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant wasn't feeling ESPN's Malika Andrews asking the panel this Miller his name did surface in court testimony involving a case where his former teammate and another man they've been indicted for capital murder in the fatal shooting of 23 year old Jamia Harris in January at the University of Alabama has described Miller as a cooperating witness how is this factoring up at all into how teams are evaluating here Bryant then tweeted this in response to Andrew's question curious question why was this brought up during the draft Miller wasn't convicted of nothing I'm sure you was told to bring it up and the fact you went through with it shake my head that's been Andrew's ammo since she joined NBA on ESPN and this isn't the first time she's been called out by a former athlete for her actions in April Kwame Brown the 2001 number one overall pick by the Washington Wizards came for Andrews for what he said was falsely trying to frame co-host Jalen Rose while on air of ESPN's NBA today in a video that's now gone viral Brown had a lot to say that type of woman that Malika Andrews is she is a representation of the worst type of woman in the world in my opinion you want to have an opinion on everything you want to talk about everything but then you want to tip the scale to where there's feminist is ruling Jalen Rose did not put his hand in your armpit ma'am and if that was something that he did that you thought he did and this man revealed you as his sister then you might have wanted to talk to your brother off camera y'all better be careful about these women like this at the time of Brown's rant he'd been on a media responding tear and anyone could get it but in this instance he was speaking some real truth just as Brian is while speaking to Kendrick Perkins about the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks game she had to ask big perk about his opinions after all Kendrick is the analyst and her question was regarding the player under the harshest of spotlights Ben Simmons and before Kendrick could even make his point he started off with a snarking remark Malika instead of listening did something rather egregious so Kendrick was asked what he expects out of Ben Simmons in the game and perk replied nothing nothing absolutely nothing while that statement does not necessarily seem funny to miss Andrews it was so much so that she couldn't stop laughing and interrupted the ESPN analyst while he was speaking Twitter took notice some even pointed out that if the tables were turned perk would be under Fire but as ESPN turning the Blind Eye to Malika nobody knows that yet but her repeatedly pretentious Behavior interruptions and snarky remarks might lead to her downfall much to her Chagrin in 2020 Rachel Nichols hotel room was bugged and she lost a 20-plus year Sports journalism career for comment she made about Maria Taylor Nichols basically said that the only reason Taylor was assigned to cover the NBA Finals was due to her race after the audio was leaked Nichols was dismissed in disgrace and Andrews began her Ascent ESPN needs to either rein her in or end her Rampage of Terror unprofessionalism and animus against the very people she is responsible for covering she is free to feel the way she does but allowing her unlimited access to a national and international platform to do so is inexcusable hope you enjoyed the video guys what do you think about Malika Andrews let me know in the comments what you think oh and don't forget to like the
