Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4377813, member: 5798"] [B]Doris Burke[/B] is still one of my favorites. She knows the game, and I like her delivery and style. I loved it when she did UConn women's games. Some don't like her, but I do, so do a few others. If she's paid to call NBA games, she must be good. ;) [ATTACH type="full" alt="1662053470127.png"]78765[/ATTACH] [B]Salary: $1 million per year - [/B] It's not easy being a woman in the male-dominated sports world, especially a female sportscaster. Nevertheless, Doris Burke proves that it's possible to really make an impact despite gender differences. She is currently a sports analyst for NBA on ESPN and on ABC Games. Burke paved the way for women's equality when she debuted as the first-ever female commentator to call a New York Knicks game. She is highly praised by many many media outlets as "Basketball's best TV analyst" for her unique and insightful commentary during NBA games and was even called "the LeBron James of sportscasters" by Jeff Van Gundy. With over 25 years of broadcasting experience, [B]Burke has built a substantial following and is one of the most famous and popular sportscasters in the United States.[/B] She recently received the annual Hall of Fame's Curt Gowdy Media Award and was the first woman to have ever been given this honor. She's currently signed to a five-year contract with ESPN and also lends her voice to the popular NBA 2K video-game series. Burke grew up in New Jersey and has had a passion for basketball from a very young age. She was also an assistant coach in college and even received a basketball scholarship to Providence College. She was a point guard. [/QUOTE]
