Three years after Malika Andrews hilariously roasted her younger sister Kendra Andrews on live television for “stealing her watch,” Kendra finally got her moment of sweet, stylish payback.
During a recent segment on NBA Today, Kendra appeared on screen from the arena, ready to discuss the night’s matchup. But before diving into basketball talk, she stopped her sister mid-introduction with the precision of a veteran TV pro and a little sister who had been waiting for this.
“Hold on, Malika, I’ve been waiting three years to do this. I can see you. Is that my vest and my suit? Because I’ve been getting a lot of flack over the last three years for raiding your wardrobe and I just need the people to know that it is a two-way street. Thank you.”
Cue the laughter in the studio. Malika, caught in 4K, didn’t deny it. Instead, she took it on the chin with her trademark charm.
“And you know what, Kendra? Love you. I love you so much. Enjoy the game. And yeah, maybe this might’ve been borrowed from you. Borrowed is how we’re going to say it.”

It was a full-circle moment for the Andrews sisters, one that brought fans right back to 2022, when the roles were reversed.
During Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals between the Warriors and Grizzlies that year, Kendra, then covering Golden State for ESPN, appeared live on NBA Today to report courtside. After her segment, Malika couldn’t resist teasing her on air.
“Kendra, is that my watch?” Malika asked, mock-accusingly.
Kendra laughed and denied it but the internet ran with the clip. Later, she jumped on Twitter to defend herself with the same comedic energy she showed this week.
“I will not stand for the slander Malika tried to throw at me on NBA Today. It’s my watch!! It was a gift from HER!”
The banter became an instant classic among NBA fans. From that moment, the “Andrews Sisters” dynamic, sharp, funny, and full of sibling energy, became one of ESPN’s most endearing storylines.
Fast forward to 2025, and Kendra’s long-awaited comeback delivered the perfect punchline. It wasn’t just playful payback; it was proof of how close the two remain, even as their careers have skyrocketed.
Malika, the Emmy-winning host of NBA Today and one of the most recognizable faces in sports journalism, has long championed her younger sister. Kendra, now ESPN’s lead reporter for the Golden State Warriors and a regular contributor on national broadcasts, has built her own strong reputation for insight and professionalism though fans clearly love it when her lighter side comes out.
This latest exchange reminded viewers that no matter how serious their jobs get, the Andrews sisters never lose their sense of humor or their sibling rivalry.
And honestly? It might be the funniest highlight ESPN has aired all month.
