The New York Knicks is still leaving fans and the media in the dark regarding its head coach for next season.

In this episode of What's The 411Sports, the panel of hosts Glenn Gilliam and Gregory Alcala, and correspondents Naomi Grey and Jason Schott are discussing Caitlyn Jenner's and Devon Still's speeches at the Espy Award; Dez Bryant's contract with the Dallas Cowboys; updates on the Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, the New York Liberty; and the WNBA All-Star Game
Comedian DL Hughley put the ESPY’s on blast regarding Caitlyn Jenner receiving the ESPY Arthur Ashe Courage Award and for the way the media is treating Serena Williams. Hughley Told TMZ:
“I think that it’s named after Arthur Ashe.
Arthur Ashe from Richmond, Virginia, a symbol of courage. He fought [a] segregated south, a very segregated profession, he fought AIDS with dignity and honor, and Caitlyn Jenner put on a dress. I don’t think it’s the same thing.”
“In the last month, we had the media telling us that Caitlyn Jenner was beautiful and that Serena Williams looks like a man,” Hughley said. “That was a little weird to me. The man looks like a woman, but the woman looks like a man. That’s ridiculous. Serena Williams is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen on a tennis court, and Bruce Jenner looks like every P.E. teacher I ever had.”
When asked by TMZ if Caitlyn Jenner looked beautiful, Hughley quipped, “In a, like, ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ way.”
Ouch!
Caitlyn Jenner’s speech, the most anticipated speech of the night. Whether you agree or disagree with the way she has chosen to live out the rest of her life, Caitlyn Jenner’s speech was extremely moving and inspirational. Jenner used her platform to speak about the plight of transgender youth and bullying.
Another inspirational speech was made by Devon Still. He used his platform for creating awareness of childhood cancer. Still, who is a professional football player, helped us all to look at his and his daughter Leah's unfortunate situation in a more positive light. He also challenged everyone to take action beyond writing a check.
