A video clip from ESPN’s NBA Today show has sparked a lot of speculation and jokes on social media, as it appears to show analyst Jalen Rose touching host Malika Andrews in an awkward way. The incident happened on March 29, when Rose hugged Andrews after a segment and she told him to “get your finger out of my armpit.”
The video quickly went viral, with many viewers wondering what was going on between the two colleagues. Some suggested that Rose was flirting with Andrews, who is reportedly dating another ESPN personality, while others joked that he was trying to tickle her or check her deodorant. Some also pointed out that former NBA player Richard Jefferson, who was also on the show, seemed to be amused by the situation.
Rose, who is 50 years old and divorced from First Take host Molly Qerim, has not addressed the video publicly. Andrews, who is 28 years old and rose to fame as a sideline reporter and host of The Jump, also has not commented on the matter. However, some fans have speculated that they could be hooking up secretly, based on their chemistry and body language on the show.
While there is no evidence to support this rumor besides this finger in armpit video, it is not the first time that ESPN employees have been involved in scandals.
Last year, Rachel Nichols, who used to host The Jump before being replaced by Andrews, was caught on tape making remarks about Maria Taylor, and accusing the network of giving her opportunities to meet diversity thresholds.
It should be noted that in the video didn’t even look like Jalen Rose’s finger got anywhere near hear armpit, which makes Malika Andrew’s comment a bit bizarre. Could this land Rose in trouble down the line?
