WEBVTT - Mark Jackson Gets Interesting Offer After Release From ESPN

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>We haven't talked much about the major layoffs this past

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>month from ESPN. We talked a little bit about it,

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>but earlier Jalen Rose was let go. He was supposed

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>to be a major player going forward for their NBA content.

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Van Gundy got the AX. While I think he

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>was very popular with a lot of people, a lot

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>of fans, a lot of people internally. He had been

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>calling games at the Worldwide Leader of Sports for fifteen years,

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>calling nearly one hundred NBA Finals game this week. The

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>other shoe, though, dropped shockingly surprisingly and in the time,

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>timing wise, didn't quite make sense. Mark Jackson, Mama, there

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>goes that clam He was let go by ESPN, which

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>means that two thirds of the team on the call

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>of the NBA Finals will now be gone. He had

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>two years left though this contract, which means he's getting

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the bag to be unemployed. Say what about Mark Jackson.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>He was a staple of NBA on ABC and on ESPN.

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a class act, good dude, never done a push

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>up in his life until he met me. And he

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>had this to say after his surprise firing. I wish

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>greater measures of success to the new ESPN team. May

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>they continue to elevate this game that has given me

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a home and a life. I leave ESPN with nothing

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>but gratitude. This now leaves only Mike Breen left standing

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>from the trio who date all the way back to

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>when Breen called the Knicks on cable. Van Gundy was

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>a Knicks assistant coach and Jackson was the New York

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Knicks point guard. Breen, as you might imagine, was very

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>upset and probably very thrown off. It's sad because this

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>is what he said. It's sad because we really thought

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.279
<v Speaker 1>we had something special, and that's going to be thought

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>going forward. It is that we were able to do

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot longer than anyone else ever did. It's something

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>will all treasure, but we wish it was just a

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>little longer. You don't expect it because he had two

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>years left on his contract and he survived the first

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>round of layoffs, because it was such a great team

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 1>and to have it completely broken up was a surprise.

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 1>The new A crew apparently is going to be Breen,

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Doris Burke, and Doc Rivers, who also is Mark Jackson's nemesis.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Given the fact that Mark Jackson was traded away from

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the New York Knicks. For who Glen rivers to be

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>discarded twice in your career if the same man has

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>got to be a rough beat and to be held

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 1>on the hook waiting for your demise until that man

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:58.839
<v Speaker 1>who ended up supplanting you decides Yeah, and maybe I'll

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 1>take the job while I wait for a new coaching gig,

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>which is which I really want to do. Is a

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>rough beat as well? What's next for Mark Jackson? Is

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>it a return to coaching? Maybe? Apparently there is a

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>much bigger offer out there. Is it Amazon? Is it TNT?

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Is it Apple? No, sir, no, ma'am. It is Cam

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Soda Cam Soda, the same company that streams young women

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>probably men also playing with themselves on camera Cam Soda

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>solo cam only fans masturbation videos. They want to hire

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Mark Jackson to do what hopefully not play with himself

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>but no play by play with herself is like, that's

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>what they want to do, doing color commentary on a

0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Brandy love threesome. The mama there goes that man and

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>jokes are endless, hence which I stole from someone from TikTok.

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Mama there goes that clam cam Soda is willing to

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>pay him a million dollars a year. It's not chump James,

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>but for a man who's strict in his morals and

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>his commitment to God, I don't think that a preacher

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>or a pastor like Mark Jackson is going to take

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the gig. But that's a shame. By the way, is

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>there any way that Doc Rivers was in Mark Jackson's

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>place having been let go of ESPN, he would say

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>no to Cam Soda. Absolutely fucking not. I mean, he's

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>already commenting for Cam Soda right this second. If it

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>was Doc Rivers in Mark Jackson's place, let's move forward, anyone.

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 1>And everyone was talking about Jalen Brown's insane max super

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Max contract until Anthony Davis signed, And now now that's

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>what everybody else is talking about. J Be signed five years,

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and three million. People lost their minds. I mean,

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.919
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of money. But he was up for

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the extension that the thirty five percent is the thirty

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>five percent. There's really nothing you can do about it.

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna let him go, they're not gonna trade them,

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 1>so man, it is what it is. They're not committed

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 1>time to move off of one or the other. I

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.359
<v Speaker 1>mean the ship is sailed. At this point. Tatum is

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>now going to be the highest paid player, and next

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.679
<v Speaker 1>summer he's going to cost them three hundred and eighteen million,

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>which means there is throw six hundred and twenty one

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>million point seven lockdown with the two J's for nearly

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>two thirds of a billion dollars, is what that is.

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>People then freak out about the Anthony Davis extension, and

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>those people are dumb. One hundred and eighty six million

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>dollars over three years locks him down in LA until

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty eight, sixty two million dollars on average. It

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>floored most people because he'll be making sixty seven million

0:05:55.480 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>dollars in twenty seven, twenty twenty seven. Those fans do

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>not realize this. There was no other way to go, folks,

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>because Anthony Davis opts out of his player option or

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call it, because it's something else,

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and then he signs for five years, three hundred and

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>change and has even more money locked into the Lakers

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>for even more time. So either they're going to let

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis walk, which they are not going to do.

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Why because then it would be a barren wasteland when

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Lebron leaves, or they lock them in for a much

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>more favorable contract, which is why they did it on

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>day one that he was extension eligible. But guess why,

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Just wait what people will scream about when Nacola I

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>love Coca Cola and chocolate covered cheesecakes. Jokic is eligible

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to sign a five year, four hundred and four million

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>dollar max deal with eighty one million dollars a year,

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>which is right around a million dollars a game. We

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>are very close to one hundred million dollars a year

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>NBA contract, which I'm sure will be Damian Lillard in

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the Portland S Trailblazer uniform when he has signed. Till

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty seven
