About this episode

This week, The Long Shot is incredibly fortunate to sit down with one of the rising stars in sports journalism, Malika Andrews. At just 26 years old, Malika has already become one of the youngest to ever lead sideline reporting for the NBA Finals, the youngest ever to host the NBA Trophy Ceremony, and she now hosts ESPN’s new daily show “NBA Today.” She sits down with the guys to talk about her meteoric rise in the last two years, her background in journalism, how she views her role and responsibility in reporting, and dealing with criticism. She also gives us a breakdown of what we can expect from NBA Today, picks her teams to look out for in the NBA this year (with some pandering), and much more.
