If Doris Burke’s ex-husband, Rhode Island golf coach Gregg Burke, tuned into Monday’s ESPN broadcast of Pelicans-Grizzlies, he was probably in for a surprise.
While the broadcast was showing a replay of the painful shot to the groin that Ja Morant took from the knee of Lonzo Ball, Burke dropped this line to ESPN play-by-play announcer Mark Jones after correctly predicting the call: “I do like being right. Ask my ex-husband.”
Then, after a brief pause, Burke started laughing. And Jones couldn’t help but laugh either. I mean, that was just A-plus shade from Burke.
And, frankly, the rest of NBA Twitter absolutely loved the line.
Burke remains a legend.
