Mark Jackson couldn't stand seeing Dirk perform well because he is white

[BRHornet45]

lol sons you could tell that it absolutely killed Mark tonight having to compliment Dirk. each and every time Van Gundy or that other honky calling the game made a positive comment about Dirk, Mark quickly changed the subject or began talking about another player. If Dirk was black, then I'm willing to bet that Mr. Mark Jackson would have been hugging his nuts all night long. Instead he chose to dance around the topic of Dirk being great and was pretty quiet throughout most of the game compared to usual.

It is true that he was downplaying Dirk, he seemed disappointed..

Mark Jackson is probably still mad that the Mavs took out his team, tbh..

[djohn2oo8]

Didn't you call Dirk a choker and overrated?

[jeebus]

ESPN gave Jackson a break from Heat games due to multiple ruined suits and equipment from Marc blowing his load every Heat possession.

There's a reason Mark Jackson wasn't taken serious when he tried to get an NBA head coaching job. I don't think this is the reason. But at this point there's no telling.

But Nowitzki is overrated because he's white. If he were black, he'd be looked at as one dimensional and soft. But because he's white, he's "amazing and a great scorer", even though he's won the same amount of rings as K. Malone. Yet Malone, who's a better player, took more criticism in his day and I don't ever remember the masses slobbering over him.

He's playing at a very high level, no question, but he's also shooting essentially uncontested jumpers. He's 7-0, being guarded by two 6-10 guys, a 6-9 guy and a 6-7 guy. They can't bother his shot. If Brooks were a decent coach, at some point he'd have said, get into his chest, force him to put it on the floor and steer him into pre-determined help spots. I know they're shooting lights out from three, but you can't let a guy shoot uncontested mid range jumpers one after the other. Those are like layups for him. You got to either hard double, on the catch or the dribble, or help on his drives and make the proper rotations.

Some will pretend the reason they're amazed with him is his age. But his age is irrelevant. He plays the easiest game I've ever seen from an elite player. Nothing he does puts stress on his body, so he should be able to do this for at least another two or three seasons. Inevitably, he'll pile up the points and be remembered as greater than he actually is. I'd rate him as the fifth best PF ever, but if he wins this championship, some idiots are going to pretend he's second and I wouldn't put it past a few to pretend he's in the discussion for first.

LOL @ you listing all the reasons why he's great as reasons why he's not great... good one dude.
