MSG Network planned on having Jackson occasionally fill in for Clyde Frazier this season, but Knicks management, led by team president Leon Rose, put a kibosh on the arrangement.
The Knicks look like a clown organization for shit like this. I can’t believe I have to defend Mark fucking Jackson but the KNICKS hired him. Whatever your thoughts on him as a commentator or person are, they HIRED HIM. Then they tell him “Oh by the way you can’t fly with us like all the other commentators do, you can’t come to our facilities, you can’t stay at our hotels”. That’s fucked up lol. Why hire him in the first place if you’re gonna pull that shit? Like once you found out there was gonna be some awkwardness with Jackson and the Knicks assistant, you should have just paid him his money and said sorry but we made a mistake and can’t go forward with it. To tell him he can’t use any of the accommodations all of the other commentary crews get to use is a bit fucked. Just sayin’
