It sounded pretty clear to me what she said. And if I heard a mid word "k" sound, perhaps I'd be willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she simply slipped and included "Knicks" (as in the New York Knicks or Knickerbockers), but I heard a strong mid word "g" in her statement.

Yup, she should go.
But she works for an NBC station, not MSNBC. See above.
That's the excuse the lady is making, that she was trying to combine the word Lakers with the Knicks. I'm sure she'll have her supporters but sorry I'm not that stupid.

Please list your international awards and degrees from prestigious universities. Thank you.
Earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s passing, I unfortunately stuttered on air, combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say “Nakers.” Please know I did not & would NEVER use a racist term. I apologize for the confusion this caused.
