It started when Windhorst was asked whether he was “hurt” that LeBron James currently follows Nichols and not him on Twitter.

“I don’t care,” Windhorst responded. “He’s sliding into Rachel’s DMs.”

Nichols immediately reacted to the words, shaking her head and, at one point, turning to the camera and lifting her hands into the air — as if to say, is he kidding me?

(Sliding into DMs, an explainer: When someone, typically a man, privately and suggestively messages someone else, typically a woman, whom they’re interested in.)
