In her three years as a sideline reporter for NBC Sports Bay Area, Rosalyn “Ros” Gold-Onwude has been a very familiar — and reliable — presence for Golden State Warriors fans.
And they’ve watched her grow over that time. In her rookie season, the former Stanford point guard’s role was mainly limited to asking questions that often prompted fun and offbeat answers. Now, she has expanded her game to bring plenty of analysis and opinion to the fore. Her potent mix of charisma, swagger and basketball knowledge is a vital component of the team’s local television coverage.
With the arrival of the NBA Finals, Gold-Onwude won’t be working the sidelines as she usually does (“I get to enjoy the game as a fan,” she says).
