After consulting with mentors, family and friends, I have come to the decision that it’s time to leave ESPN. Over the past 7 years, I’ve grown from hosting First Take to having my own show on SportsCenter, and experiencing so much more in between.
All GAMES cancelled. The business of basketball is about the buisness of fairness to the people. In other words, if this country continues to shoot and kill black unarmed men - we black men- will not entertain YOU - so that you can escape the realty of racism!
How many times did your Amy Cooper say “you’re not a team player”? Or she could not really explain why- but “you weren’t READY or PREPARED for the promotion? “
BG is an American. BG is an Olympian. BG is an ALL-STAR. BG is a daughter, a wife, a friend. BG is an American. BG IS IN A CAGE. BG is ours. Bring her home.
LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, and Rajon Rondo all play for the same team.
Let that sink in. HALL OF FAMERS 🙏
I’ve truly struggled with what I should say publicly about ESPN. I’m sure I’m not the only one but I’ve been approached by many outlets to discuss. I didn’t want to make any comments because I OVERSTAND the culture of a company that doesn’t understand black employees.
I looked for a Kobe quote but instead I decided to say what you made this LA kid understand. Being a fan of a team is a privilege. A privilege that makes us feel as if we have ownership but honestly- we’re INVESTED! My teen years to adulthood!

@jemelehill
... you fought for me - when I couldn’t do it for myself. As you continue to do for countless others. Power to all the black journalist... you are NEEDED.
Hey y’all! I haven’t reached out in a minute. Just wanted to say I’m working and hustling and loving life. It feels good to work with those who value diversity and inclusion!
I do believe that prayer warriors are activated nationwide. I just wish those SAME prayer warriors were activated for Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and the list goes on.
Aaron Rodgers isn’t getting PAID to go on ESPN every week to give his conspiracy opinions??!! It’s clear that politics and such aren’t allowed- correct? He then continues to trash bosses at ESPN while on ESPN!! If that ain’t audacity and privilege - I don’t know what is???
A proud father himself, Kobe Bryant helped Project Play 2020 launch

last summer. He shared his thoughts with
@CariChampion
on how coaches can do a better job when it comes to coaching youth.
I have a question for those who keep saying this isn’t the way to protest? How would YOU like it done? In a way that doesn’t interfere with your comfort?
I’m tired of all these social attacks on Black Women - Tiffany, Meg and now I see Joy trending, do y’all see a theme or is it just me.? We are truly unprotected in these streets.
You’re disgusting! This is disgusting! The cops didn’t know half that shit when they delivered 7 shots to his back! They also could’ve subdued him another way. You both are DISGUSTING!!!
Yes—but even if a black man is armed with a knife, has a warrant for his arrest over sexually assaulting a minor, threatens to grab another weapon from his car, AND is physically resisting, officers still mustn’t defend themselves or else RACISM.
...Cuz Lebron James says so 😂
Today’s NBA would never: let a Rodman exist, manage the DRAMA without going to social media to tattletale; let a player be on the HEAD like Jordan w/o players having a breakdown!
The 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Sean Payton did not need to humiliate RW. It’s disgusting that some of y’all say - coaches do “that”. To Ryan’s point- you don’t treat franchise QB’s that way! Disgusting.
We’ve only been in one argument. It was that one time when she said Isiah was a better human than Magic ... we made it thru! -

I just listened to
@AOC
IG LIVE. She did not mix words. She confirmed what we knew. Members of Congress were in on the Capitol takeover. She says she didn’t know if some officers would protect or harm her. This is an INSIDE JOB.
Remember that time I told you me
@jemelehill
got into an argument? We needed Lebrons help settling the disagreement. End result - me and my family request privacy at this time.
I hear so many
@lakers
fans say they’re torn over LABRON.
@kobe
said it best- “welcome to the family”. Magic and Kobe are Day 1’s. No one can take their place in the history of the franchise. But more importantly, this is about the “greatest show” returning to its rightful place.
