A light-hearted jab at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from ESPN announcer Doris Burke during the Oklahoma City Thunder-Minnesota Timberwolves series may have rubbed some fans the wrong way. Burke, however, isn't apologizing for what she said.

During Game 1 of the Thunder-T-Wolves series, Burke referred to Gilgeous-Alexander as a "free throw merchant" on-air. "There's a reason NBA Twitter likes to call him the free throw merchant," Burke told Mike Breen.
