Former ESPN analyst Mark Jackson will not broadcast Knicks games for MSG Network after the team banned him from the team plane, hotel or bus, The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reports.


quote:

Jackson was laid off from ESPN in the summer, and was set to help fill in during Knicks road games as the color commentator when Walt “Clyde” Frazier had the night off. However, Knicks president Leon Rose shut that down over an old feud between Jackson and Knicks assistant coach Darren Erman.


quote:

When Jackson was the head coach of the Warriors in 2014, Erman was an assistant on his staff who Jackson fired over a “violation of company policy.” ESPN later reported that Erman secretly recorded conversations of meetings involving coaches, both coaches’ only meetings and meetings between coaches and players.

To those who don’t know better, this sounds shitty by Erman.

To those who know the real story, Jackson was pitting all his assistants against each other and lying about doing so. The recordings were Erman’s way of proving it.


Given that Erman got other jobs in coaching after this and Jackson hasn’t should tell you a lot.

Usually something like that would blackball a coach, even if the assistant had legitimate reasons for documenting conversations. Everyone in the NBA must know that Jackson is toxic.

Jackson did a lot of very weird shite as coach which contributed to him never getting a job again.

One story is about bringing Steph Curry to his church to get a faith healing done on his ankle.

I remember it used to be racist to say Mark isn’t a good coach and that he was holding the team back.

There's a reason he has never gotten another job and Erman has gotten several.

Jackson is an a-hole

Yeah, because Mark Jackson is a strong black man, and Darren Erman is white.
