Last night, Mark JacksoHe was quietly commenting on the clash between the Lakers and Blazers, when he made a small comment on Carmelo Anthony. He probably didn’t think he would receive such a torrent of hate from a legendary coach. A humiliation in the rules of the art.
Since leaving Golden State in 2014, Mark Jackson has never managed to regain a place on an NBA bench. Forced to occupy himself professionally, he then turned to a career as a commentator, a role in which he excels, bringing an always very interesting expertise. Last night, during the game between the Lakers and Portland, he spoke about the defensive evolution of Carmelo Anthony.
I have to tell you one thing, I think Melo is not the only one responsible for the way he played in defense early in his career. Someone was allowing him to do nothing. Because strangely, he’s a big fan of Portland, he embraces the culture, and defends hard.
The problem is that this a priori not very bad comment has returned to the ears of George Karl, the coach of Carmelo Anthony in Denver. The legendary coach was very upset by Mark Jackson’s innuendos, and he has him on Twitter. Be careful, the sulphate is out!

I heard @MarkJackson13 is taking shots at my defensive coaching during tonight’s broadcast.
Remind me, how many all-star teams did you coach, Mark? How many DPOYs? How many Finals appearances? How many of my teams became dynasties right after I left?

I heard that Mark Jackson spoke badly about my coaching style in defense in tonight’s game… Remind me, how many All-Stars teams have you coached? How many defenders of the year have you had under your command? How many NBA Finals appearances? And how many teams became dynasties right after I left?
This is called public humiliation. The reaction might be a little out of proportion to Jackson’s small attack on Carmelo Anthony’s passage to Denver, but what a treat to see a legendary NBA coach speak without a hint of tongue. And with his record of 1,131 victories for only 756 defeats, George Karl can talk as much as he wants!
Always beware of sleeping water. George Karl doesn’t talk much, but when he does, he doesn’t take the tweezers. Mark Jackson will know in the future: he can attack anyone, except the former Nuggets, at the risk of seeing his demons of the Warriors come back to him in the face …
