It seems that every year YES Network’s basketball coverage makes another leap. Last season, Sarah Kustok became YES’ primary Brooklyn Nets game analyst, breaking a glass ceiling for women in TV sports ... and getting rave reviews for her work.
This year already, there’s a new face in front of the cameras getting attention. Richard Jefferson has joined the team primarily as a game analyst, making what looks to be an easy transition from 17 years on the court —the first seven in New Jersey— to the booth and studio.
It’s not as if YES needed dramatic upgrades.
