24 hours until the Finals kicks off. Already some drama with Rachel Nichols. That should provide another layer of interest to the broadcast. I’m curious how healthy Giannis is going to be as I think that’s going to be the key to the series. It’ll also be interesting to see if Ayton can continue his post season dominance down low against the former MVP.
She apologized so I guess that closed the issue. For them.
Politics and bully in sports anchors. "I'm a veteran, don't step on me. "
Giannis with no structural damage or whatsoever but he is still on the doubtful list even with that status.
He is not forcing it, I like that. He may want to get out in a full healthy position rather than hurting himself again and losing everything.
All he can do now is trust his teammates. Boost them on the sidelines. (he looks really healthy while cheering for the team)
I do not think that she even said anything wrong! I mean she just spoke her mind and she wasn't ever rude, she didn't wanted anything ill for any other person, she wished Maria all the best in the world, she even said that because of the long time lack of diversity in the race and gender situation at ESPN this is a right move to have to get some other minority more screen time so that we could have more diversity, these all great things. And on top of that she just said it is not with her, find it somewhere else and that is a great move but she doesn't want to collab with another person right on the finals after not getting ready for it this close to the finals itself.
I believe Rachel was 100% polite, to the point, helpful, nice and also did nothing wrong, even that she apologized was literally only because it was leaked, otherwise all the executives could have learned this and nothing would have changed.
