Mark Jackson, Hall of Famer. Great NBA commentator. Preacher, motivator. Leader. Coached Golden State for 3 years. 2 playoff appearances, 50 win season. Warriors made their games an "event " . Liked and respected by all. Fired after a heartbreaking loss to Clippers in a game 7, first round matchup.
So what really was the reason. Two first round losses in last 2 yrs.(Bogut hurt). High expectations? A victim of being in the ultra-competitive Western Conference? Or this bull-shit about his relationship with management ? I'm not getting that.
Look his players loved him.The franchise with Curry, David Lee, Clay Thompson et. al is on a huge upswing. But hey, the Spurs last year. The Clippers in 7 this year. Jackson was perfect for this team. Anyway it's part of pro sports ! Mark will be back. He did a super job and should hold his head high.
On a positive note, he's free to join Van Gundy and Mike Breen in the booth for the duration of the playoffs!!!! I love it.....
