MARK JACKSON’S REGRETFUL KOBE BRYANT STORY. |S1 EP6

Welcome to episode 6 of The Mark Jackson Show. In this episode, Mark and Bluu talk about Mark’s visit to see the late Kobe Bryant’s statue outside Crypto.com Arena, and that sparks quite the memory from the time Mark called off Reggie Miller so that he could guard Kobe in the NBA Finals.
Mark has talked about his desire to coach again, but he also believes that his former broadcast partner, Jeff Van Gundy deserves an NBA head coaching job.
Plus, we flashback to when Mark and Long Island legend Billy Donovan went at it in high school, college and then the NBA. Find out who got the best of who. Plus, Mark’s pre-game diet left much to be desired during his 17-year NBA career.
The dynamic Mark & Bluu father-son duo reveals another side of Mark Sr., showcasing his role as a devoted father and a man grounded in faith and truth.

I remember in the early 2000s Mark Jackson went on tv and said Kobe Bryant will go down as the greatest player of all time. I always appreciated Mark Jackson as one of the very few people in media to give Kobe his flowers when he was alive and playing. Definitely one of the greatest broadcasters ever and deserves another shot at coaching

[@dmac2077]

That’s right, real recognize real. Mark Jackson knows what it takes to be great so he appreciates Kobe for all he did 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@kareemwillis2033]

You don't think the media respected Kobe?

[@MISSBEAUTIFUL1]

@@kareemwillis2033dnt think he meant actual disrespect, but the media DID shine light on Shaq, and allowed the shade to reach Kobe.

[@thegod625]

All facts!! 💪🏽🤴🏽👍🏽

[@abuwadie3]

He wasn’t wrong when he said Kobe will go down as the goat. To me he’s the most skilled basketball player to ever play the game.

True story:Been watching Street Ball or And 1 since the Mid 90's and never heard that "Escalade" Troy Jackson is Mark Jackson's little brother. Loved his game and always thought he was smooth as a big man with passing and shooting ability. Rest easy big man and condolences and shout out to Mark for having that much respect to not overshadow him in life or death.

[@kanedathe28th93]

Mark said "They not my friends" lol i feel that, you gotta earn that title. Great show.

[@berdeauxlaveau6515]

Escalade is mark jacksons brother!!!!!!!! Get out of town. I never knew that

[@B.Nice777]

Strange he said that 🤔

[@DigitalDuelistsGaming]

That's honest, how can you call someone friend on the internet with ppl you don't know, no sensitive ppl would be offended, which is crazy. Maybe for the bag sake he shouldn't, but Mark not for sale. That's a solid man
