A former ESPN NBA analyst has taken to Twitter to share his thoughts on Rachel Nichols following the New York Times’ bombshell story on Sunday.
Earlier on Sunday, the New York Times reported on the growing controversy at ESPN regarding Nichols and fellow host Maria Taylor. A leaked audio recording from 2020 reveals that Nichols questioned Taylor’s promotion to NBA Finals hosting duty.
“I wish Maria Taylor all the success in the world — she covers football, she covers basketball,” Nichols reportedly said in July 2020. “If you need to give her more things to do because you are feeling pressure about your crappy longtime record on diversity — which, by the way, I know personally from the female side of it — like, go for it. Just find it somewhere else. You are not going to find it from me or taking my thing away.”
Nichols’ comments reportedly made their way to Taylor, who has since refused to work on the air with her colleague.
Many in the sports media world have taken to social media to weigh in on the story. Among them: former ESPN NBA analyst Amin Elhassan.
“I wouldnt have been on The Jump if it werent for Rachel Nichols & I know the same is true for T-Mac (Tracy McGrady) & Stak (Stephen Jackson). When they tried to get funnystyle w/ my contract, she stood up for me & made sure I was treated right. She’s been an ally (not just to me) in public & behind closed doors,” he tweeted.
“Pls note this isnt a dismissal of Maria or her feelings. She’s great & deserving of everything she accomplished in her career..but the convo that needs to occur is why is there a Highlander ‘There Can Only Be One’ mentality when it comes to women & high profile positions at ESPN.”
Elhassan, a former NBA front office employee turned sports media personality, is no longer at ESPN. He currently works for Dan Le Batard’s new company, Meadowlark.
The former ESPN NBA analyst said he plans on further discussing the article on Tuesday’s show.

Clown shit. This is more about Nichols, he is scared to FIGHT for Black women. Stacks needs to stay in his lane. He doesn't have enough depth in his analysis. Very fucked up that he can't ride for the Black women.
If Bron doesn't cut this motherfucker on MONDAY, not sure I need to listen to his activists takes.
So much to unpack here but I’ll try to do it quickly.
Don’t think it will be a good look to can RN for a clip that they’ve known about over a year just bc it became public.
ESPN obviously doesn’t think what was said was that bad bc they nvr acted on it.
‘Besides the metoo and BLM comments the worse part is the insinuation that Taylor is only qualified in hue.
And I do believe that Taylor was hired bc she’s black and these white execs would rather keep the decades long status quo.
Doesn’t matter to them whether she’s good at what she does or not. That’s completely subjective.
More importantly
Did Taylor try to extort these dudes w her new contract demands knowing she had a copy of this tape.
‘Did ESPN decide to release the tape instead of feeling like they had a gun to their heads.
Taylor’s contract demands nvr made sense……..until now.
‘Starting to believe that even the most progressive white folks harbor………nvr mind.
Carry on…..

I know which way Sarah is going if she says anything...don't think Mina will touch this one either
Yes the red highlighted portion of your comment is very true I seen this during the 2016 election with a few Bernie Sanders supporters.
He speaks on racial issues on his podcast VERY OFTEN
Y'alls boy caping for Rachel
Bomani Jones is the sports equivalent of Marc Lamont Hill, another male feminist.
Dude should just shut the fuck up. For real! This ain't it!
He won’t, because it isn’t his call. LeBron is still a shill for the DNC. The only way the ties get severed are if they say so.
I done told yall bout these "Jordan is the GOAT/If you diss Kobe I'll smack you" type Black men. They loooooove loooooove looooove loooooove white women bruh. White women are the vessel for which they acquire white acceptance. Stak is a clown like Kwame says he is.
and has said numerous times he isn't going to speak on work issues publicly. His job is sports.
Because you speak on some issues regarding race does not mean you have to speak on everything
He's never placed blame for Lebron on the China or Tamir Rice situations
as would anyone with common sense
It's like you dudes don't live in the real world and live in this keyboard warrior reality like you're risking your career and millions over shit
Those are not even his original comments, he exposed himself again (first time was with George Floyd).
He got that call that he needed change his sentiment. He is another DNC shill. The list was exposed last year but it looks like only a few paid attention
Kobe said Trayvon deserved to die and sued his mom and alienated his black family, anyone with common sense would see and acknowledge he's a self hating coon. Yet he's largely been given a pass and the media types say nothing. It's like you dudes want us all to wish we were white like Michael and Kobe.
What I love is you MJ and Kobe stans cant defend their coonery at all, so the play is to make it seem like "LeBron is just as bad"
And again I'm fine with that
You can do what you want, however
Just be consistent
Or now you should be ignored
When Dallas hires Jason Kidd?
Go after the team head executive who is a black woman not just Mark Cuban
And make sure EVERY SINGLE sports HIRE who has a felony or accusation from like 20 years ago gets the SAME scrutiny.
That includes owners and espn partners.
In fact that should include your COWORKERS too.
Cause ummmm
If a espn employee does something bad is their alleged victim not as "important"?
People saying LeBron needs to drop Mendelsohn, uhhhh what about the fuckin Democratic Party Mendelsohn is affiliated with??!?!? If he still involved are yall giving up on them? Or they can still be affiliated with him and its cool? Yall still voting for cacs like him?
INKOSI NEEDS TO SPEAK OUT ON THE SITUATION AT HAND
Jordan stans in 2011- "LeBron is nothing like Kobe or Jordan, he will never be in their class or ilk"
Jordan stans in 2021- "LeBron the same as Kobe and MJ, he not pro black and wish he was white too!"
Steph curry fans in 2012 “ we should have kept monta and got rid of Steph”
Steph curry fans in 2021 “he’s the greatest point guard to ever play and is top 5 dead or alive”
My bad I thought you were saying he should speak on it
He right but its clear he caping for Rachel....he got torn between being a activist and sticking up for his white friend......Jax always does this too. He not cut out for what he want to be because if you want to be that guy he's trying to be you gotta be more cut throat......
He's not right, he's cooning. If you were Black you'd know this.
Not surprising he capeing for Miss piggy, coon has all the smoke for black women though
how is he right?
Why did Maria turn down nearly 4 million offer increase though
The only reason they gave Maria that shit was the same exact reason all these cartoons stated hiring black voices to voice black characters.....the same reason the Oscars ARE ALL OF A SUDDEN nominating black films and actors and actresses...its Pandering. BSPN tried to pander because they read the room. These companies didn't all of a sudden just see the light. Their eyes are now open to the racism they've been contributing to for all these years? Nah....
Mind you the reason they even gave the position to Rachel to begin with was because she was a woman and they were pandering to women.....so they got caught up pandering from demographic to demographic and fucked up.
Yeah and I'm shocked he even speak like this anymore. He's not capable of being what he thinks he is....I'll admit though I didn't think he'd be exposed over his friendship with Rachel though......didn't see that coming.
Put his friend before the cause......can't have it that way Jax.....
That Momma's cookin' exposed him first.....Yeah and I'm shocked he even speak like this anymore. He's not capable of being what he thinks he is....I'll admit though I didn't think he'd be exposed over his friendship with Rachel though......didn't see that coming.
