ESPN basketball analyst Doris Burke
Episode 140 of the Sports Illustrated Media podcast features ESPN basketball analyst Doris Burke, who ESPN announced this week will serve as an analyst for ESPN regular-season NBA telecasts as well as the NBA playoffs. That makes Burke the first woman at the national level to be assigned a full season rotation of games as an NBA game analyst. In this podcast, Burke discusses how her new role came about; how many games she will call; what it means that other women around the NBA including Stephanie Ready and Sarah Kustok have been given analyst jobs; whether Carmelo Anthony, Paul George and Russell Westbrook can gel in Oklahoma City; why NBA players such as LeBron James often speak up on politics; and much more.
