The lavish event, held at the Dolby Theatre, was attended by a number of big names.

And when McNutt posted a picture of herself on Instagram, fans couldn’t get enough of it.

“I mean take it easy on us!” one fan said.

“The dress is the MOMENT!!” another fan commented.

“She must be a chef she’s cooking,” a third fan posted.

“Wow, you look stunning,” a fourth fan said.

“Beautiful choice of dress Monica,” a fifth fan said.

McNutt has become one of the most popular faces on television.

She started working with ESPN in 2019, and has also appeared on a number of other networks and channels.

She was widely praised two weeks ago for stealing the show on First Take .

Regulars Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim were absent.

But McNutt more than made up for that with her eloquent and insightful takes.

McNutt particularly impressed those tuning in when she was talking about future prospects of success for teams in the NBA.

“I’m tired of doing this thing based on potential,” she said.

“What have you actually shown me?

What the new TV deal means for the NBA?

By The U.S. Sun's Assistant Sports Editor Damian Burchardt.

THE new TV rights deal is promising to be a humongous win for NBA players.

The league is set to more than double the revenue coming from its media partners, pocketing about $6.9 billion per year, which will inevitably lead to a huge salary cap spike in 2025-26.

That is going to send the value of player contracts skyrocketing.

Projected figures suggest we might see the first $100 million-per-year deal being signed soon.

Currently, Boston Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum is projected to earn the highest single-season salary in NBA history, collecting $71.5 million in 2029-30.

It does feel like basketball fans would be on the losing side of the fight if the NBA and TNT indeed parted ways, though.

Inside the NBA is a one-of-a-kind sports entertainment show , as evidenced by ESPN’s ongoing failure to come up with its own version of the program in recent years.

The NBA won’t be the same without Kenny and Ernie trying to make sense of Shaq and Chuck’s never-ending bickering every Tuesday night.

“If we’re going to boil it down to a team that has its best core unit, it has to be the Boston Celtics.

“They’ve just won a championship and have an open runway in terms of potential.”

McNutt has shown she isn’t afraid to stand up to her fellow pundits like Stephen A. too.

She told him recently that in her opinion the show had not given enough coverage to the WNBA in the past.

The league has grown considerably this season, with the emergence of superstars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
