Rachel Nichols Sparks Major Outrage For Asking Tim Duncan About LeBron During His Enshrinement Into Hall of Fame (VIDEO + TWEETS)

Rachel Nichols is coming under heavy fire after her interview with Tim Duncan.

The ESPN NBA host scored an interview with the soft-spoken Tim Duncan as he got ready to be enshrined into the basketball hall of fame. Among the many things she asked him about was a question about LeBron.

“After the final game, you said ‘this is going to be your league, appreciate you giving us a year,’ what was that moment like?” she asked Duncan.

This interview was nearly 20 years in the making – such a treat to chat & laugh & reminisce with Tim Duncan as he’s inducted into the Hall of Fame. We talked his amazing career, his relationship with Pop (including the text messages Pop sends him – yes, Pop texts!) & so much more pic.twitter.com/63TbiayU09

I didn’t believe it so I had to see and hear it for myself. Rachel Nichols found a way to make Tim Duncan talk about Lebron during his own hall of fame induction interview. Lmfao I need ESPN to crash and burn ?????

Tim Duncan should’ve started talking about laying the biggest beatdown in NBA finals history against LeBron and the Heat when Rachel Nichols asked that nonsense

@Rachel__Nichols you are weak and pathetic to interview Tim Duncan on his Hall of Fame and bring up LeBron James. He was never his rival. There was no reason to mention LeBron James in an interview with Tim Duncan if anything you should have mentioned Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant
