Mark Jackson is back in Oakland on Friday to call the Cavaliers-Warriors game for TNT. He got a standing ovation from his old friends, big screen and all:
Mark Jackson got a warm welcome from Golden State fans
... which is kinda weird.
Is this not a little weird? Mark Jackson coached the Warriors to some very good years ... then they fired him and replaced him with Steve Kerr. It was not an amicable separation. I get why fans and former players would show love for Jackson, but the team itself putting him up on the Jumbotron feels a little awkward.
And yeah, him calling his former team’s game now that they’ve gotten even better in his absence is also a little surreal:
"You cannot direspect the caterpillar and rave about the butterfly." Mark Jackson
