She used to lie, just to fit in with the conversation on the show. Like when they talked about the media not recognizing Klay's defense and Rachel said that she had voted for Klay as all defense in the past, when she hadn't.
He’s lying. He’s the definition of a company man. His job was never at risk. He’s a lapdog for the players union and whatever other connections he has behind the scenes
If we're talking about looks I choose Malika Andrews, but if we're talking about the whole package then it'd be Rachel. She does something Malika doesn't. Garner the respect of NBA players. Malika will be quick to talk without thinking or put it eloquently and professionally. That's the difference
None of us know for sure, maybe the people at showtime didn’t want any discussion about it at all? I’m not saying you’re wrong but like it’s definitely possible his job for whatever reason might’ve been at stake
He clearly said he HAD TO talk with ESPN AFTER the interview and they told him to give them a heads up next time. He could have faced potentially more serious consequences ~ easy to twist the narrative when you twist the mans word..
Well he exposed what really happend yo Rachel which is risking your job when your letting someone exploit a corrupt thing someone did he could get fired for being associated with that episode and being the one asking that question
Bro Malika SUCKSSS compared to Rachel. Shes just a pretty face, and all she does is try to inject her Leftist ass agenda into sports. Rachel Nichols was actually a Legend in the NBA reporting world, really grinded and worked her way up to The Jump… ESPN was so lame and fucked up for doing her like that, considering how long she worked for them and everything. Even if they felt they HAD to respond to that leaked audio, they could’ve just gave her a lil suspension or something, not just Fire her and throw her under the bus like that smh.
Yeah, I remember people coming to her side immediately after that happened and we’re pretty much saying that ESPN chose to paint her in an untrue racist light . It was sad to see how many people just blindly took the version of the story ESPN put out there without doing any background check into what really happened. I’m glad that the people that stood up for her definitely stood up for her. That’s a horrible label to put on someone and potentially ruin their life and their career so I’m glad things worked out for her.
Rachel did literally nothing wrong. At all. People just jumped to wild conclusions & charged her with racist because she’s a white woman and wanted a POC to take her role. Players & other analysts stood up for her because they saw first hand how well she did her job (spare me the D-Rose shit). Btw her comments are something everyone agrees on in principle: ESPN was trying to be performative by putting a black face in front of the camera. To be systematically, not symbolically, serious about antiracism putting POC in the c-suites is how you truly achieve progress. In fact, ESPN could have only POC media members and that still would just scratch the surface for meaningful opportunities/change.
BS. She did do something wrong. Her comment was racist. You don't assume that a woman was up for promotion SOLELY BECAUSE OF HER SKIN COLOR. The woman she was talking about was literally the hottest female sportscaster in the business, played D1 Basketball and Olympic level Volleyball AND had been steadily and fastly moving up the ladder. I mean when she left ESPN she HOSTED THE OLYMPICS. She was better than Rachel in every way.
Wait a minute…if he edited the Rachel Nichols interview and he “had to talk to ESPN” right after the interview…it’s clear that the interview was edited to omit things that ESPN didn’t want out there. You can’t pretend you’re some brave interviewer after that and say “if it was gonna cost me my job” if you’re putting out an edited version of the interview to protect ESPN. You shouldn’t be celebrated just for having her on, if you edited the interview.
He said "its not like I'm not gonna play a corporate type role". I don't know what yall be hearing how you listen to someone speak with the ability to rewind the video back only to still misquote & not comprehend the person speaking in the video is beyond me
NO, I grew up then too. All WE had was "Inside Stuff", w/Ahmad Rashard & Willow. Their idea of an "inside scoop" was seeing how many Doritos Shawn Kemp ate.
I love how Kev says that "context & nuance get thrown out the window".. but then FALSELY claims that Rachel left ESPN because of the "cancel culture" myth. 🤣🤣 ESPN let her go because ESPN is a hypocritical company and they were really embarrassed that what Rachel said on the leaked audio, the reason why it was recorded & the reason why it was leaked were all ESPN'S fault. They are obsessed with image so they let her go and legally silenced her for a year to make it go away. We have to stop blaming everything on cancel culture. This was a greedy corporation trying to protect the money and throw an employee under the bus. Nothing more
I thought Rachel was ok except for how she did Derrick Rose. That was just f***** up. If the players are being respectful to you, I see no reason to pull the rug from under them and come at them so aggressively.
There's no such thing as "my truth" or individual truth. The truth is absolute and unbiased. It's independently verifiable. She spoke her opinion, not her truth.
He cuts Matt off every question throughout the interview and what’s up with him smacking his lips and breathing like that and btw she must have been really open with everyone lol
Espn put Rachel in a tough spot on that one didn't blame her how do you put she can do the NBA finals in her contract and then take it from her that's bullshit
nah the truth is they took away something that was contractually her to satisfy a "diversity agenda", that's all she said. what they accused her of was being racist.. which is false..
Yea but still, how'd she het the jobs she got there? Oh, I know, her father in-law. Whoops, did I say that? Oh well, it's true! Doesn't change that she got bum beefed.
This guy is railing against cancel culture when it comes to his friend Rachel, but is supporting cancel cultures attempt to take out skip bay less. Cmon man stop with the hypocrisy
This dude's podcast is getting harder and harder to watch and listen to all that noise on the mic and not letting your guest finish a goddamn sentence is annoying AF
Rachel has been in this industry too long to be disrespected like that
Rachel has been in the industry from nepotism and her comments were out of pocket.
@@mrcrc10 why are you racist?
@@mudmaker32 Lmao. What did I say that was racist? I'll wait.
I Miss Rachel she was a very good at reporting and always had a great relationship with all of the players. They seemed to respect her.
She used to lie, just to fit in with the conversation on the show. Like when they talked about the media not recognizing Klay's defense and Rachel said that she had voted for Klay as all defense in the past, when she hadn't.
Yeah it's just like homies have great relationships with hood rat homegirl 😂😂
@@Visual_Ghoul she only respects the players she banged or wants to bang 😂
But they agreed with everything she said you know exactly what they were gonna say.
@@Visual_Ghoul Exactly and they go along with everything she said especially Tracy McGrady.
Man, respect to Matt Barnes, that's loyalty right there.
He’s lying. He’s the definition of a company man. His job was never at risk. He’s a lapdog for the players union and whatever other connections he has behind the scenes
the background breathing and lip smacking has got to go, i cant focus
For real
Dammmit now that’s all I can hear smh lol
Right! Damn! 🤦🏾♂️😫
Omfg 🤣
Its like hes stroking it while listening to the interview
This real. I miss her doing NBA coverage
Lmao what do you miss 🤣🤣
@@Julez.97… her doing NBA coverage
i’m pretty sure that’s what was typed
I'd beg to differ it's more of a visual aspect that is missed

You can’t say you risked your job then admit you edited most of it out and gave ESPN the heads up. These people really think everyone is stupid.

Bingo 😌
And then they replaced her with Malika who's only skill is to find whatever she can use to shit on the players who actually keep their lights on. 😂
Just for the whole Sports world the hate Malika and want Rachel back

And she said it at the wrong time. If she would have made those same comments back in 2019 nothing would have happened to her.

I came here to read Malika Andrews slander.
This low key an ASMR video

😆😂
Black men love Rachel nickels 😍😍
Why does this dude keep huffing and puffing on the mic! Literally makes me not even want to listen to what Matt is saying.
Nba players liked Rachel bc she let them talk. Unlike that new chick who constantly interrupts everyone.
ESPN did 5 dirty, she should sue them
Rachel never should have lost her job. Her comments were completely twisted into something they were not.
he couldn’t be any closer to the mic smh
Kev you’re content is great but you gotta stop interrupting people bro
Just like vlad
Your not you’re fool

Much respect to Rachel and Barns 💯
LONG LIVE THE JUMP!!!!!!!!
One of the worst shows on ESPN
He cuts Matt off every question throughout the interview and what’s up with him smacking his lips and breathing like that and btw she must have been really open with everyone lol
It would have never costed him his job. So let's get that straight.
Jimmy butler taking care of her 😏

More than just Jimmy butler was hitting that
Stick at around for the shade towards Perk at the end

I don't know man, some people where saying that Rachel was shaddy AF off the screen.
Perk tore his quad from slipping 👀
Espn put Rachel in a tough spot on that one didn't blame her how do you put she can do the NBA finals in her contract and then take it from her that's bullshit
BECKY WITH THE GOOD HAIR
