Doris Burke Biography

Doris Burke is a sports announcer and analyst for NBA on ESPN, NBA on ABC, and College Basketball on ESPN and ABC games. She formerly worked as an analyst for WNBA games on MSG and has worked on New York Knicks games. Burke was the first female commentator to call a New York Knicks game on radio and television. She also made history by calling conference finals and NBA Finals on the radio.

Burke played college basketball for the Providence Friars, finishing her career as the school's leader in assists. She has been recognized for her work over the years, including being inducted into the Providence College Hall of Fame in 1999 and receiving the USA Today Rudy Award for Best New Face in Sports Television in 2003. In 2004, she was inducted into the Institute for International Sport's Scholar Athlete Hall of Fame and was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by Providence College in 2005. A year later, Burke was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame and became a member of the North Providence Hall of Fame. Further accolades include receiving the Silver Anniversary Award from the NCAA in January 2012 and being selected to enter the Basketball Hall of Fame as the 2018 Curt Gowdy Media Award winner, a recognition she also received in 2016.

In 2017, Burke became a regular NBA game analyst for ESPN, becoming the first woman at the national level to be assigned a full regular-season role. In 2023, ESPN named Burke to their No. 1 NBA commentary team, making her the first woman to serve as a game analyst on television for a championship final in one of the four major professional U.S. men's sports leagues. She has also been a commentator for NBA video games, including NBA 2K11 and NBA 2K16, and called Game 1 of the 2020 Eastern Conference Finals on TV with Mark Jones. In 2022, she was part of the all-woman crew for the broadcast of an NBA game on ESPN.
