Despite being extremely accomplished in her field, Doris Burke is not the most beloved NBA broadcaster. In fact, over the years, the anti-Burke sentiment has only grown. However, now, with rumors of her being fired or at least demoted swirling, fans noticed a change in Doris’ commentary.
See, Doris has come to be known for having some truly obnoxious takes that fans can’t agree with. But something that has recently driven a lot of fans up a wall is how she talks about the current MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Fans have accused her of being partial to SGA, defending him even when there’s really no reason to.
But so far, things have been really different in tonight’s game. Not only has Burke refrained from dishing out any odd opinions, she’s been quiet. Like unusually quiet, as if worried. One fan on X even pointed this out as he said, “I don’t know if the rumors about her getting replaced are affecting her, but it feels like Doris Burke is petrified to say anything tonight.”
I don’t know if the rumors about her getting replaced are affecting her, but it feels like Doris Burke is petrified to say anything tonight. #NBAFinals
