>This morning, unexpectedly, I was informed that my services were no longer needed at ESPN. Although shocked and dismayed with the suddenness of it all, I would like to thank ESPN and all the staff of the NBA ESPN crew for allowing me to be a part of the organization for the past 15+ years. I would also like to thank the NBA fans watching at home and in the arenas throughout the league for all of your support. To the NBA, a heartfelt thank you for allowing a kid to continue to accomplish his dreams.
>It has been an honor to sit beside tWo LEGENDS in the business, who are like brothers to me, Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy, and learn so much from them. Lisa Salters is a GOAT and like a sister to me and I’m so proud of the work she continues to do. To the best producer in the world, and my friend, Tim Corrigan, I give the utmost gratitude and thanks for always inspiring and supporting me. To all of the staff and crew, that may have never been seen on camera… please know that you were always seen by me and so greatly appreciated.
>Finally, I wish greater measures of success to the new ESPN team. May they continue to elevate this game that has given me a home and a life. I leave ESPN with nothing but gratitude, all the while knowing that my highest praise goes to God! Through it all, He has always sustained me and His grace allows me to know that there are greater blessings ahead. I look forward to what He has in store next.
>Blessings,
>Mark J

Love it
games boutta go crazy on mute next season 🔥🔥🔥
momma, there goes that man
Xeets is crazy
NO more Mark Jackson shit takes.. ALthough I don’t wish for anyone to get fired I am still happy about this sorry to say.
Future Celtics assistant coach alongside JVG 🤣
I’ve heard him do so many games that I couldn’t help from reading this in his voice
I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for u tho or sorry that happened
Mama, there goes that man!!!

🤢
I firmly nothing Mark Jackson. I don’t think he was offensive or great. He sounds like a real weirdo coach and weirdo dude probably. but I never had any trouble tuning him out.
I didn’t hate him as much as everyone else. All I know is that having Doris in the booth will be worse.
Absolutely in fucking sane how many Mark Jackson gobblers are coming out of the woodwork now. How is this possible? NOW you’re gonna put the shit on mute??? What is going on?
Truly shocked that somehow there are Mark Jackson apologists crawling out of the woodwork in this thread. Yall cannot be serious, this dude was bar none the worst basketball commentator on a big network in the past 10 years.
Sorry he lost his job but I’m glad he’s off the air
I’ll kinda miss the absolutely absurd shit he’d say on a regular basis
Don’t hate the and I certainly will not celebrate anyone losing their job
I can’t believe people think Doris Burke is an improvement over mark jackson and Jeff van gundy.
Mark, SVG and Mike were the best part of games on ESPN in my opinion. I’m neutral on Doris but I can’t imagine how the broadcast team will be better this season.
Doris Burke is torture
Y’all think he’s going to make a comeback into coaching??
He wrote this like he just won a golden globe.
Classy exit
Super excited. Their broadcasts were the worst thing in basketball. It literally made the games unwatchable.
I feel nothing for Mark Jackson. When you sign up for TV you sign up for a popularity contest. He’s been extremely lucky, they never should’ve brought him back. They were free.
They probably had planned to fire him with JVG but someone forgot to vote…
“Grown man move.”
They should just broadcast the games without commentary like soccer. I don’t wanna hear three different muppets suck lebum and the lakers off every playoff series. ESPN is trash. I miss when they had espnews and it was just the hi-lights without the commentary and “personalities”
Wtf is a xeet
I hate you for calling it a Xeet
