MSNBC anchor Alison Morris denied saying a slur when broadcasting the news of basketball legend Kobe Bryant’s shocking death on Sunday.
The former Los Angeles Laker died in a private helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, was among those confirmed dead.
Morris was talking about Bryant’s death when some thought they heard her say “n****rs” in a now-viral clip.
She denied using the slur in a tweet Sunday evening.
“Earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s passing, I unfortunately stuttered on air, combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say “Nakers,’” Morris tweeted.
“Please know I did not & would NEVER use a racist term. I apologize for the confusion this caused,” she continued.
Shaquille O’Neal, who won three championships with Bryant, said that he felt “sick” over the loss of of his friend.
“There’s no words to express the pain I’m going through now with this tragic and sad moment of loosing my friend, my brother, my partner in winning championships, my dude and my homie,” O’Neal wrote in a tweet. “I love you brother and you will be missed. My condolences goes out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers on board. IM SICK RIGHT NOW !”
Basketball legend Michael Jordan said that he was in “shock” over the death of his “little brother,” while former teammate Pau Gasol said the he was “Beyond devastated” over his “big brother.
Virginia Democrats Governor Ralph Northam (blackface), Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax (multiple sexual assaults), and Attorney General Mark Herring (blackface) are all still in office.
Basketball teams have radically changed since I played and enjoyed the sport as a youngster. It's become clearer to me that the game is mostly for negro players and fans. I am sorry when anyone is tragically killed.
Many can do more than one thing. This is contrary to the typical basketball 'super star'.
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
For the record, Northam may be a blatantly lying idiot who is most certainly one of those 2 fools in that infamous yearbook photo, but Herrings only crime was to be an avid HipHop fan who used shoe polish to mimic his favorite artist who happened to be black.

The truth is still the truth. Not that it matters as the RATmedia that dominates Virginia's coverage has given all the RATS a pass on this. When the RATS can call KKK Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd their "conscience of the Senate" and the RATmedia doesn't bat an eye, this is par for the course. If you are a DemocRAT, you are unhealthily obsessed with race. But RATS don't hold their fellow RATS accountable for their racist past and present...MUD
