NBA Today (1992– )

Great Show, but Proper, no Trendy English Please
5 April 2022
I enjoy the show, the panel(s), the guests - great show. Highly visible, highly paid professionals that speak for a living should, in my humble opinion, give strong consideration to setting a good example for the public, especially the younger people, in how to speak properly. Might we be leaders instead of followers and NOT choose to speak in the trendy fashion rather than the correct one? "The Warriors THEY took on the Lakers last night and ..." "LeBron HE came up big last night and scored 48, along with..." Arggg - it hurts my ears. "The Warriors took on the Lakers..." "LeBron came up big..." will suffice, unless a period (punctuation) pause is implied in speaking between the proper name (e.g. LeBron) and the pronoun (he).

Most don't do it, but it's a growing trend and Malika has embraced it. As the host, the leader, she should know better.
