ESPN has replaced Doris Burke, the first woman to analyze NBA Finals, with Tim Legler. Legler will join Mike Breen and Richard Jefferson on the network's top NBA Finals broadcast team. Burke, who has signed a multi-year extension with ESPN, will now be part of their secondary team. This decision comes after years of changes to ESPN's NBA Finals broadcast crew, including the dismissal of Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson. Despite support from figures like Rick Carlisle and Richard Jefferson, ESPN's executive vice president, Mike McQuade, ultimately made the call.
