This is all from a reddit post but:

Some other stuff on this guy I found in another thread. I want nothing to do with him:

Staged a coup of John Stockton while he was on the Jazz, causing Stockton to retire.

Cheated on his wife with a stripper, then getting blackmailed by the prostitute + some other guy, while at the same time being a born-again pastor

Bristled at Mike Malone being the assistant coach under him (ownership wanted him to be the Associate Head Coach, like Gentry was with Kerr, but when Jackson found out he said NO WAY

Didn't let assistant coaches do interviews with press because he thought they were gunning for his job

Pushed Malone out because Jackson thought Malone was gunning for his job

Ran ISO-ball all the time

Instilled a "us vs them" where the "them" was the entire front office. He would tell the players that the front office didn't want them to win so that Mark Jackson would look bad. C'mon that's lunacy Barred Jerry West and Jim Barnett (the beloved TV color guy) along with everyone else from practices so they couldn't hear the crazy shit he said to the team

Told the team Ezeli was rooting for them to lose so that Ezeli would look better (he was injured). This culminated in Ezeli in tears saying that there was no way he would do this, when confronted by the team

Told the team that Harrison Barnes was possessed by a demon, which is why he regressed

Darren Erman, the assistant responsible for the defense after Mike Malone left, was recording Mark Jackson surreptitiously to try and capture the crazy shit like the Harrison Barnes demon thing and the Ezeli thing, but was caught and fired

Noted homophobe, including the "I'll pray for him" when discussing Jason Collins coming out. This doesn't fly in the bay area when a lot of the team staff is gay and so is the front office, including the COO/President Rick Welts Didn't want to hire actual good assistants, instead, he hired yes-men like Pete Myers and Lindsay Hunter, who backstabbed Alvin Gentry in Phoenix to get the head job

All the coaching staff were allying themselves with star players instead of the players who actually needed their help/development, so a lot players like Barnes didn't get the development time and help they needed

He put players against each other, telling a star player "hey that bench thinks he's better than you" and then telling the bench guy "hey that star guy thinks you're shit, go take his job"

Didn't get along with anyone in the front office, including Jerry West, Bob Myers, and actually the rest of the employees (marketing, PR, etc) No preparation.

He said in the Clippers series that he didn't need to prepare extra hours, when Doc Rivers was up all night devising schemes


Dudes a fucking clown

The only reason Perk works for ESPN is because all the players clown on him. He talks like he’s a hall of famer, which is entertainment for the viewers.

I think a lot of it has to do with him playing alongside Lebron, Kyrie, KD, Westbrook, Harden and that Boston team and the hope that he would have insight and stories to tell about all of them.

It seems like all players that have played under him hate Mark Jackson. He has a lot of friends in the media who pressure NBA teams to give him jobs, but Steve Kerr took his same Warriors roster (with zero head coaching experience) and turned them into a Championship team immediately.

Mark Jackson is a garbage HC and a toxic personality.

not bad

the 'Burbs has a fake Davis Bertans (hans klopek) and the dad looks exactly like Jeff Sessions

like exactly
 
Philly is such a bust . Offensive system is super weird. Thought at least with Horford they would be more solid and tough.
 
is JVal the biggest guy in the league? like sheer mass?

Marjonovich might have it by some weird oddity, but i'm thinking it's him, Nurkic or B Lopez
 
"But I have never gotten involved in the domestic policies of ANY foreign country. We have too much to do here. And I will never get involved in the sexual assault going on within my own organization. We have too much... uh... systemic racisms and stuff..."
