ESPN officially announced its revamped NBA broadcast teams, headlined by Doris Burke set to make history as the first woman to serve as TV analyst for the NBA Finals and a champion executive joining the ranks.
Burke and former coach Doc Rivers will be joining ESPN mainstay Mike Breen as part of the network's new lead broadcast team, along with sideline reporter Lisa Salters. The new team comes after ESPN let go top analyst Jeff Van Gundy amid its layoffs in June. Fellow analyst Mark Jackson was let go by the company in July after reported discussions of demoting him to the network's second team.
There are more changes to ESPN's NBA Finals coverage, with rising reporter Malika Andrews becoming the permanent host of all "NBA Countdown" shows, including the NBA Finals pregame and halftime shows. Andrews, who replaced Mike Greenberg, will host alongside Stephen A. Smith, Michael Wilbon and Adrian Wojnarowski.
Also joining the show will be Bob Myers, the former executive and architect of the Golden State Warriors dynasty that resulted in four NBA titles. In addition to his appearances on the ABC editions "NBA Countdown," he'll call games throughout the season.
