Zora Stephenson

Six Emmy Awards as an on-air journalist put Stephenson in rare company among basketball broadcasters. The wins reflect consistent excellence across her reporting and play-by-play work, and they came before her highest-profile assignment: NBC's 2026 WNBA relaunch. She has also been recognized by her alma mater, Elon University, which has featured her repeatedly as an exemplar of its "From Court to Camera" storytelling ethos.
