THOUGHTS ON SHAKA HISLOP
My thoughts are with ESPN analyst Shaka Hislop, who collapsed live on air during the network’s pre-match coverage. It was undoubtedly a terrifying moment for everyone involved and the viewers. Relieved to hear that ESPN informed the viewers throughout the match that Hislop was well. Let’s hope and pray for his full recovery from whatever ailment caused the incident. Health and well-being are of utmost importance, and we wish Shaka Hislop all the best during this time.
