"Malika Andrews Was Cheesing Hard for That Paul George Hug": NBA Twitter Goes After ESPN Reporter's Desperate Attempt for a Hug

ESPN reporter Malika Andrews has been under fire for her comments about the Warriors as of late, and now this?

The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Los Angeles Clippers tonight for their home opener. The Lakers came off a loss against the Warriors on NBA Opening Night, and wanted to set the record right on their home opener. However, things didn’t go as planned.

The Clippers finally got Kawhi Leonard back after missing the 2021-22 season. They also saw John Wall take the floor as a Clipper in his first NBA game with the team. The Clippers secured a 103-97 win, as they showed complete teamwork.

Andrews and her recent troubles with the fans

Malika Andrews was born and brought up in the Bay. She grew up a Warriors fan, and her sister Kendra Andrews covers the Dubs for ESPN. However, as of late, there have been many instances when Andrews has mocked the Warriors and their stars and picked others over them winning the Championship. This upset the Warriors fans.

Along with that, she made comments that were offensive toward black men and did not sit well with the community. On top of that, Rachel Nichols finally spoke up recently, where she also called out Andrews.
