Mark Jackson, summed up in just a few words...


So, I decided to go on a kick watching basketball movies lately, and last night I happened to watch 1996's "Eddie" starring Whoopi Goldberg. Our beloved head coach, Mark Jackson, features in a somewhat prominent role as a man known lovingly as "Preacher" in the film, in which Whoopi Goldberg ends up as head coach of the Knicks. Whoopi wins a fan contest to coach the team for the 2nd half, and ends up being offered the job for the entire season as a publicity stunt.

Hmmmmm... So you mean to tell me this isn't even the first time Mark Jackson has been a central character in a story about somebody with no real coaching experience being hired as an NBA head coach as a publicity stunt?

The really sad part? Whoopi's Knicks made the playoffs. Not looking so good for Jackson's Dubs...
