Once in a while, Doris Burke lets slip on the air about her Knicks fandom. Born on Long Island and raised on the Jersey Shore in Manasquan, Burke hears about it.
“We’re not supposed to root, and I don’t root when I’m calling the games,’’ Burke told The Post. “I am a New Yorker. My fandom as a young NBA person was the Knicks. I’ve mentioned it on occasion and taken ribbing on Twitter.”
That is why when the ESPN basketball broadcasting star made her first appearance at the Las Vegas summer league in July, she finally felt good about her cursed childhood team.
