Doris Burke's demotion from ESPN's NBA Finals team had been telegraphed for some time. There will be plenty of time to weigh in on the new team. This is a good day to reflect on Burke's legacy in the business, which was cemented long ago, @richarddeitsch.bsky.social writes.
She’s not stupid enough to be on ESPN.
She’s horribly biased and talks like she’s gargling rocks. Good riddance
Isn’t this basically what they did to Sage Steele?
She's so good, too... doesn't deserve this

And pioneers shouldn't be treated like crap, which is what is happening to Doris Burke. #ESPN has bowed to the noise made by sexists. I hear the same sentence about Doris that I heard about Hillary Clinton, "I just can't stand the sound of her voice."
A legit hooper who knows the history and the strategy. But sure, replace her w some clickbait troll.
I'm so old I remember when Hannah Storm was doing the sideline NBA reports on NBC. "Back to you, Marv." 😂😂🏀
If you look around the NBA, you see women broadcasting everywhere. That doesn’t happen if Burke and others don't pave the way. Full column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/658...
She screwed herself with her anti-SGA & anti-OKC comments.
I like Burke. I like Legler. I like Jefferson. Mark Jackson sucks. The Van Gundy brothers are great. All that said, Burke is as good as analysis as anyone and deserves better
