McNutt has certainly put in the work. 
She is rapidly rising in the world of basketball media, serving as an analyst, host, reporter and radio voice for ESPN and MSG Networks.
McNutt has become a favorite amongst hoops fans not only for her basketball prowess but also for her unabashed willingness to be herself, both on and off the screen.
“The idea of not being myself, it’s very forlorn to me,” McNutt said. “One of my favorite compliments is ‘You’re just like you are on TV,’ because I am.”
McNutt will be providing color commentary alongside Beth Mowins on play-by-play and Katie George on the sideline as part of ESPN’s International Women’s Day broadcast on Friday when the Wolves take on the Cavs (7:30 ET, ESPN). 
This is the fifth time this season that ESPN will have an all-women-led NBA broadcast. ESPN has orchestrated an NBA game led by an all-female broadcast crew for three consecutive years.
McNutt spoke with NBA.com about being unapologetically herself, working with the great Doris Burke and why hearing a woman on an NBA broadcast shouldn’t be a big deal
