[Jackson] “Amid Doc Rivers’ departure, I’m hearing a Jeff Van Gundy or Mark Jackson return to ESPN is not a consideration. Expecting ABC/ESPN to either use a 2-person booth (Breen/Doris Burke) on a conf. & NBA Finals or possibly move Redick or Richard J. from B to A team with Breen, Burke.”

  1. Hopefully ESPN no longer has the NBA after next year. Would love to see TNT and NBC have the rights.

  2. realudonishaslem

    Doris is just not it, how is that so hard to understand if you’re ESPN.

  3. mark jacksons career over after getting kicked off the knicks team plane

  4. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    Please God do not let Doris Burke call a finals game

  5. Immynimmy

    Unfortunate re Burke. Her bias is way too obvious a lot of the time and she always tries to wax poetic about things that just don’t need that type of commentary.

  6. JurgenFlippers

    I’m still so confused why they fired Van Gundy. Mark I get.

  7. 0dias_Chrysalis

    It bears repeating just how bad Doris Burke is and now she’s 50% of the broadcast instead of 33%

  8. --lalilulelo-

    Can they please hire a mute instead that does sign language commentary

  9. I_Set_3_Alarms

    Just please don’t have it be Dorris and whoever her clone is that sounds just like her. I gave up on telling their voices apart the last time I watched a game with those two

  10. PM-mePSNcodes

    Doris is already a disaster on regular season games the last thing she should be doing is commentating Finals games

  11. MethLabIntel

    I’d rather listen to a chinese commentator than doris burke wtf

  12. SuckaFreeRIP

    JJ and Richard should do all the games with Breen

  13. sixersfan87

    Let’s get Hubie on the A team, at least for the rest of this season.

  14. If they move a third person, it won’t be Redick, it’ll be Jefferson.

  15. OriginalBus9674

    Why on earth does Doris still have a job. Oh wait, it’s because she loves propping up the Lakers.

  16. Le8ronJames

    Doris Burke is the epitome of Peter principle.

  17. JCoffintwy

    Doris Burke needs to hang it up. She makes games unbearable.

  18. Tiki_Bonanza

    PLEASE GET RID OF DORIS BURKE. She is unbearable to listen to.

  19. aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Doc can just come back for the conference/nba finals. Not like he’ll be there

  20. Difficult_E

    doris is the nba version of chris collinsworth, she’s always verbally sucking off her favorite players

  21. SFBA_roomie

    Thank the lord no return of Mark Jackson.

    ESPN needs to take the step in selling the broadcast rights to anyone with a YouTube or twitch channel. If Joe Schmo or whoever is who people want to commentate a game, espn should license the feed and split the ad revenue.

    Lot of people making a few hundred or thousand and a game vs. a multi year multi million dollar deal and covering everyone’s travel and hotel. Huge chance at market expansion and cost savings.

  22. BlackJediSword

    Mike Breen having to carry these guys is just so sad. Same thing when Ian Eagle had to carry Dan Fouts for years.

  23. askmewhyihateyou

    But Doc Rivers will still be available for the finals

  24. famousevan

    They should do a trial run with Mike Budenholzer on a few games.

  25. ElectricalEvent2943

    JVG and Mark Jackson will not return under any circumstances

  26. The Doris experiment needs to end. Whoever thought that was going to work? It’s unlistenable.
