In an era when much of sports broadcasting is dominated by hot takes, ESPN has decided to go with a class on-air announcing team for its NBA broadcast coverage.
The network said Monday that ever-steady play-by-play guy Mike Breen will be joined by Doris Burke and Doc Rivers on the broadcaster’s A-team for big games. The trio, along with reporter Lisa Salters, will call the NBA Finals, Eastern Conference Finals, NBA playoffs, and the Christmas Day and NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC series. The team will make its debut during ESPN’s opening week of NBA coverage in October.

Burke has spoken about the changes happening in the announcers booth, saying she’s been around long enough to normalize the idea of a woman calling men’s games.
“It gives me like, just joy that guys of my son’s generation, they don’t even think about it. It’s like, ‘Yeah, she does what she does.'”
