An American in France, Julien Burke works in both languages and both basketball worlds. He follows the NBA and the WNBA as closely as the EuroLeague, and likes nothing better than explaining one to the other: the European seasons behind an overnight breakout, how a signing really got done. Context over box scores, every time.
