Mark Jackson had nothing but love for ESPN in a statement hours after the network laid him off Monday.
The former NBA player and coach had been in his second stint at ESPN and this past season had been part of the broadcast team that called the NBA Finals.
Jackson wrote he was let go that he had “unexpectedly” been told by ESPN that his “services were no longer needed.” “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,” Jackson said in a statement.
“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.
