JJ Redick Joins ESPN's NBA Finals Broadcast Team

Former NBA player JJ Redick steps into the broadcast spotlight, replacing Doc Rivers alongside Mike Breen and Doris Burke for the NBA Finals.

JJ Redick has been promoted to join Mike Breen and Doris Burke on ESPN's NBA Finals broadcast team, following Doc Rivers' departure to coach the Milwaukee Bucks.
Redick's transition to broadcasting began with his popular podcast 'The Old Man and The Three' and has rapidly ascended to the top spot in NBA broadcasting.
ESPN's decision to promote Redick comes after the network's recent layoffs, which included firing longtime lead NBA analysts Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson.
Doris Burke is set to become the first female TV analyst to call a major U.S. sports championship during the NBA Finals.
ESPN is considering whether to leave Ryan Ruocco and Richard Jefferson as a duo or add a third analyst to replace Redick on the network's No. 2 NBA broadcast team.
