Houston’s Kevin Durant Shoots Shot At Kay Adams of FanDuel
NBA fans know that Kevin Durant is a shot maker, but it appears the new Houston Rockets star really knows how to take his shot. In a recent podcast interview with FanDuel’s Kay Adams (pictured above), Durant made his move and it wasn’t a crossover: “I’ll see you at one of these games in Houston, and we going to a barbecue here in Texas when you get out here, alright?” Durant told the sexy sports announcer. Adams didn’t respond, but fans who have noticed the chemistry between the two certainly did on social media. To learn more about the Adams-Durant encounter, click here.
Who Was That Peacock NBA Sidelines Reporter?
Peacock last night streamed its first live NBA game, a pre-season matchup between the Bulls and Cavaliers. Some fans on social media quickly asked who was that sidelines reporter. Well, it was Ashley ShahAhmadi. The 33-year old, who has done sidelines work for ESPN college football games since 2023, is one of three sidelines reporters who will work the Peacock/NBC games this season; Zora Stephenson and Jordan Cornette are the others. (NBC and Peacock this season will broadcast more than 100 regular season NBA games.)
Lauren Jbara: Fly Girl to Cubs & Brewers
And speaking of sidelines reporters, TBS’ Lauren Jbara has been working the NLDS between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs. (The Brewers are ahead, 2-0, with the possible clincher game today at 5 p.m. on TBS.) To learn more about Lauren, see this article at EssentiallySports.com.
ESPN’s Jess Sims Shuts Down Comedian
Theo Von, the eccentric comedian (are there any other kind?), was asked to offer his picks during last Saturday’s ESPN pre-game college football show. However, when he wanted to ask something – perhaps a date with ESPN reporter Jess Sims – he was quickly sacked. Good move, Jess. See the video below:
Joy Taylor Speaks Out On Being ‘Too Sexy’
Joy Taylor, the former Fox Sports host who recently left the network amid controversy, has had it with critics who say she flaunts her sexiness on air. Guesting recently on Kayla Nicole’s podcast, The Pre-Game, Taylor said that early in her career, she was “hyperaware” of “coming across too sexy,” because she feared people would not respect her abilities. However, now, she says that’s ’their problem.’ To learn more about Taylor’s appearance on The Pre-Game, click here.
