I’ve already made it pretty clear what I think (or don’t think) of sideline reporters. It’s not necessarily them that I don’t like, it’s just that I don’t like their role. The don’t serve a purpose. Why did we need Tafoya interrupting a moment where Kevin Garnett should be celebrating with his teammates and family? It was so forced. About the only thing good to come out of it was when KG said “Michelle, you look good tonight, girl.” Check it out the video at the 2:45 mark, it’s priceless.
Much like when you’ve had too much to drink, things must just come out when you’re hyped from winning an NBA title. Of course I wouldn’t know, I’m just guessing. That was bad, but nothing can be worse than this. Video courtesy of Awful Announcing. Did you even have to ask?

ESPN’s Michele Tafoya may be a hard-nosed sports reporter, but she’s got a soft spot for Celtics [team stats] superstar Kevin Garnett.
(Who doesn’t?)
Before Garnett was drafted out of high school in 1995, Tafoya was working for CBS Sports and spent a day with the young hoops player in his hometown of Mauldin, S.C., for a feature story.
