[COLOR=var(--wp--preset--color--gray-g)]“Mama, there goes that man!”
MSG Network could have ex-ESPNer Mark Jackson fill in for Clyde Frazier on some Knicks games this season, according to sources.
The Daily News [COLOR=var(--wp--custom--color--link)]mentioned[/COLOR] MSGN was interested in Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy to team with play-by-play voice Mike Breen. The trio had been ABC/ESPN’s No. 1 crew for a long time before Van Gundy and Jackson were both [COLOR=var(--wp--custom--color--link)]fired during the late June layoffs[/COLOR].[/COLOR]
[COLOR=var(--wp--preset--color--gray-g)]Though MSG Network had interest, Van Gundy calling some Knicks games is very unlikely to happen, according to sources.
Both Jackson and Van Gundy had money remaining on their ESPN contracts and likely would need permission from ESPN to be allowed to do it.
ESPN is handling them on a case-by-case basis, and Jackson’s case is trending the right way for him to fill in on some games for the 78-year-old Frazier.
Jackson — whose catchphrase for when someone does something exceptional is: “Mama, there goes that man!” — did local games years ago for the Nets on YES.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Has Frazier retired?

Has Frazier retired?

No but he's 78 and has been doing a lot less road games the last few seasons.

Has Frazier retired?

Not according to this.

Clyde’s mission is not about fishin’
Clyde will continue to rhyme and be sublime.
And still exudes style more than any by a mile.
But Clyde is losing his broadcast traction, which could make room for some “Action”.

Not bad.

Clyde might be limiting his schedule, ala John Sterling.

Seems like a no-brainer for all parties involved.

 

[Fizzy]

This guy is never gonna get another chance at coaching and it's sad.

The best thing about this is Mark is back home, reunited with sju and one of his two favorite coaches in the world and can be around more often
