Malika Andrews Spared as ESPN Show Embarrasses NBA Community in Nuggets vs OKC Game 6

Tonight’s game 6 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets was quite controversial. Not for anything that happened during the game. No, it was actually the broadcast that fans had issues with, specifically the fans watching on ESPN. And only Malika Andrews, who was also associated with this debacle, was spared from their rage.

As fans, we are all used to networks having a halftime show to keep us entertained and invested in the game during the 15-minute break. But tonight, ESPN’s halftime show was almost unanimously lambasted by NBA fans. Simply put, they were not fans of the content on display. And even senior Lakers insider Anthony F. Irwin couldn’t help but criticize ESPN.

“I genuinely don’t understand the point of ESPN’s halftime show. It’s honestly the dumbest content in all of sports and that’s obviously saying something,” he wrote in a post on X. Clearly, even someone who’s as involved with the league as Irwin couldn’t help but voice his frustration. And the only person fans and insiders like Irwin didn’t seem to mention in their criticism of the halftime show was Malika Andrews. Everything else seemed to be fair game.
