| Doris Burke and Magic Johnson |
It should be fantastic news Doris Burke, the longtime color commentator for both NBA and women’s basketball games at ESPN, has been hired to be the first female analyst for an NBA studio show.
Burke is set to join the ESPN NBA Countdown crew for the 2013-14 season, after having established her significant NBA credentials during years of working both the analyst and sideline reporter’s role on ESPN and ABC telecasts.
The problem here is that ESPN seems to have found a way to sneak in the host that NBA Countdown was missing, while getting to laud itself for its progressive promotion. Those cable guys are always one step ahead.
