Anthony Davis wound up making the first-team All-NBA squad, so Taylor's mistake didn't cost the Chicago native turned Lakers star.

This isn't the first or last time an NBA reporter is going to make a mistake in the voting process. It seems a little unfair that Taylor is getting killed when men in her positions have done the same thing as well.

It's been a tough week for Taylor, who made her “Monday Night Football” debut during the Pittsburgh Steelers–New York Giants game on Sept. 14. During the broadcast, Dan McNeil—a Chicago-area sports radio host for 670 The Score—sent a tweet in which he posted a photo of Taylor with the caption: “NFL sideline reporter or a host for the AVN annual awards presentation?”

McNeil was quickly fired from his job and Taylor received support from just about everyone in the sports world, including Memphis Grizzlies point guard and 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year Ja Morant.
