US EditionShannon Sharpe Rips Kim Mulkey For Her 'Nasty' Behavior After LSU Loss
- Following LSU's Elite Eight loss to UCLA on Sunday, March 30, 2025, Kim Mulkey's interaction with KLSU sports reporter Jayden Smith went viral after he questioned her about losing in two-straight Elite Eight games.
- The exchange occurred because Mulkey has a history of challenging media members during press conferences, and LSU had just been eliminated from the Tournament.
- Mulkey's response, asking the reporter how many Final Four trips they had been a part of, was captured in a 20-second clip that garnered over 1.5 million views on X by Monday morning, and Spencer Brown also tweeted about the exchange.
- Stephen A. Smith on ESPN's 'First Take' and Shannon Sharpe on 'Night Cap' both criticized Mulkey's behavior, with Smith calling her "very, very rude" and Sharpe stating, "Mulkey has been nasty for a very long time."
- Sharpe believes Mulkey has been able to get away with this behavior because she is a national championship-winning coach, while others like five-time NBA champion Ron Harper defended Mulkey's actions, and Chad Johnson initially urged empathy before changing his opinion after learning about Mulkey's history of challenging media members.
