Don't get to hear her enough up here. But she's been great.

Not really. Even Drake said the same thing.

Not to come off as a weird perv but everyone has their tastes. Im 32 so 21 years younger...but out of everyone shes up there for me. Her love for the sport certainly helps but she has a sexiness about her. Its not striking and took awhile for me to see it but its there now lol. My number 1 celeb is Emilia Clarke as a game of thrones fan but Id honestly put Doris in like my top 20 out of anyone. Its hard to put a finger on it (no pun intended) but something about her despite her age just gets me and I feel weird saying it but i adore her like drake who can pull plenty of chicks. So at least im in his company and hes my age. Thats partly why i made the thread not only to see how shes viewed as a prominent broadcaster. But to see if im weird for finding her so damn hot hahaha. Im just glad to see im not the only one. Theres more to attraction then just strickly a body...

Totally agree. Way too often she sounds like she wants to jump a player for some one on one time. She needs to talk about the game more. She can still praise players without sounding like this.

I like her as a sideline reporter interviewing players. Also like her as an analyst. Her calling games I do not like - her voice is too monotone IMO.

As for her looks she is pretty attractive - especially for her age - and she actually looks her age too which is interesting. Like it’s not like she’s 55 and looks like she’s 30 with all kinds of plastic surgery frozen face stuff - she actually looks 55 bit is still hot. I guess good for her.

She's really good but kinda overrated now because everyone can't stand JVG and Jackson (which is totally fair).

Im surprised to see the anti JVG posts...i think hes awesome...whats up with that? I know most dont like Mark Jackson. Hes meh to me. But Jeff is great imo. i might have to start a thread on him next. Hes fantastic but no attraction there lol.

I don't mind her, she's good at her job

I don't find her boring

I don't find her "hot" and

I don't get why people are using Drake as an example/justification for saying she's hot...weird

Doris Burke, ain't nothing wrong with that.

She's been in broadcasting since the early 90's and worked her way up. She's worked for years covering the WNBA and college ball before making her way to the NBA. She's put in the time and effort to be the best she be at what she does. I hope she's on TV for years to come.

She's the best announcer I've heard. She's knowledgable, engaging, intelligent, insightful, just all around perfect

She's gotten much better over the last few years. One of the best in the business now. Knowledgeable, actually brings analysis, breaks down plays as they happen, and doesn't live off catch phrases. I like her even keeled nature as well.

She's the only female broadcaster I believe would follow basketball if she wasnt getting paid to.

For that reason alone, I love her.
