ESPN's Doris Burke becomes NBA's first full-time female analyst on a national level

"Simply put, Doris Burke is one of the best commentators in sports," ESPN's Tim Corrigan said in a statement. "She's incredibly accomplished, respected and admired, and for good reason. Her work-ethic and her passion for the NBA are second-to-none, she's a great colleague and she makes our coverage better. Doris has spent a lifetime in basketball, and now, she'll be able to share all of her knowledge, from the booth, with NBA fans on a regular basis."
