“Doris Burke was blatantly salivating over LeBron James and Lakers!”: NBA Twitter reacts as the veteran ESPN reporter showed clear bias towards the Purple and Gold

NBA Twitter could not help but notice ESPN reporter Doris Burke and her bias towards LeBron James and the Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are living a nightmare right now. After going 0-6 in the preseason, the Lakers are failing to find their stride at the beginning of the season as well. After losing to the Warriors on a night of ‘trash’ shooting by Stephen Curry, the Lakers now lost to the Suns tonight.

There was a time in the 3rd Quarter where the Lakers were down by 32 points. While the Lakers’ fans themselves were disappointed, there was one strong supporter. ESPN reporter Burke was clearly biased towards the Lakers. All throughout the game, it was easily recognizable who she was supporting. Even when Rajon Rondo pointed a finger gun at a fan, Burke ended up supporting Rondo over the fan. NBA Twitter could not sit silently and speak up about the same.

The NBA fans did not respond kindly to Burke being so partial. For a National Reporter being biased is something that people don’t take kindly.

It wasn’t very professional of Burke to do coverage the way she did today. Maybe it was the heat of the moment, or so, but people have always complained about her being partial towards LeBron James.
