Kenny Mayne: ESPN Told Stuart Scott He Was 'Being Too Black'
Basketball
Kenny Mayne sits down with Matt and goes deep on Stuart Scott: the friendship that started with a thrown script across the newsroom, the family Thanksgivings on the studio floor, and the real reason ESPN execs told Stu he was "being too Black." Kenny breaks down how Stu navigated it without ever compromising who he was. Plus, behind-the-scenes on the iconic Kobe & Keyshawn rookie camp commercial that everyone still quotes.
