Is Doris Burke the best commentator in sports right now? 

Post#1 » by DLoMor » Sun Jan 28, 2024 3:28 pm

She has a great voice and she’s very knowledgeable. I got annoyed of Van Gundy and Jackson fast. Many people would disagree but I’d rather hear her than the others, who would also complain a lot too. Doris is not biased at all.

Shes the worse. And her voice is highly annoying. We were spoiled with Jvg Breen and Jackson

I don't mind her but I didn't mind JVG and MJ either.

Doris Burke is annoying and cringe. She's so bad I honestly prefer Jackson.

I mean it was time for a change whether people liked it or not , Doris deserved the promotion.

Easily the worst on air. Ratings must be notably lower with her commentating. Makes no sense

I liked Hubie Brown. Van Gundy was also very good. Doris is not bad.

I’ve finally started watching games when she’s been on the air, has made me turn into a fan of the game again. Plus she’s also beautiful too.

Jesus christ, do people actually like her voice or is this a joke thread? I unironically prefer no audio over listening to her regardless of what she says.
She could be the most knowledgeable commentator in sports and I still wouldn't want to have her voice in my ears.

I like Doris and really enjoyed JVG/MJ. Cant stand JJ Reddick. But everyone is gonna have their preferences.

Her voice is calm and she knows the game. She doesn't whine about things on air like the others before her. I like her.

I like Doris quite a bit and while some people might just not, I do think her commentating is something of a Rorschach test as well.

Sure thing, it's just kinda surprising just how far the disagreement on her voice goes.
I've seen another thread about her on the first page and the comments there also swing from "her voice is soothing" to "I hate it".

Don’t get why people hate her voice, it’s normal and nice, and easy to understand.

Most of them suck, including Doris. She might be amongst the worst though.

I like her. I liked JVG when he wasn’t complaining about the refs but good god that man was a baby and couldn’t help himself.
