Georges Niang's Drive & Dish with NBA broadcaster Doris Burke
The GOAT didn’t always feel great.
“I was a very shy kid,” Doris Burke says. “The only place I had confidence was in between the lines of a basketball court. … I fell into this business by divine providence.”
But over the course of her illustrious career, the NBA broadcaster has become an icon of the game.
On this week’s episode of the Drive & Dish podcast, Burke joins Georges Niang to discuss her recovery from COVID-19, her journey to broadcasting greatness, and her love for the game.
