Cassidy Hubbarth has been a prominent figure at ESPN for 15 years. Shortly after completing her college education, the Evanston, Illinois native quickly rose to prominence, especially during the NBA’s prosperous period in the 2010s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the basketball scene transitioning into a new phase of media coverage, Hubbarth is taking her talents to Amazon, where she will lead their NBA broadcasts. Her final appearance for ESPN occurred during the play-in tournament game between the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the game, dominated by the Heat, came to an end, commentators Mike Breen, Doris Burke, and Richard Jefferson each took a moment to commend Hubbarth.<\/p>\n

“Cassidy embodies professionalism, teamwork, and above all, she’s a kind and caring friend,” praised Breen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Burke chimed in, “She\u2019s a consummate professional. You\u2019ve really made a mark, Cass. Here\u2019s to earning more yet working less\u2014seeing great things ahead. You truly shine among the stars.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jefferson expressed his gratitude, noting how welcoming Hubbarth was when he started his career in media, stating, “she\u2019s going to excel in her new role.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Visibly emotional, Hubbarth thanked her colleagues and quickly shifted the focus back to her professional duties, saying, “I still have a postgame interview! You can’t make me cry right now,” and added, “I love you guys. ESPN has provided so many opportunities to foster and expand my career in incredible ways.<\/p>\n
