Mark Jackson needs some new lines

Seriously.

Between all the

"MOMMA THERE GOES THAT MAN!"

and

"KNOCKDOWN SHOOTER"

nonsense, these NBA playoff telecasts have felt like ESPN/ABC are just taking the same commentary track and rerunning it every game.

At least Jeff Van Gundy keeps it fresh and relevant with his color work.

Mark Jackson, on the other hand, just recycles the same stupid catchphrases night after night.

ABC/ESPN either needs to tell him to get some new material or just get another color guy who's more than a one-trick pony.

Haha, totally agree! Jackson is one of the worst announcers in recent history, it's a shame he gets to call the Finals.

Disagree. Love it. He brings a little kick to the broadcast.

lol-he does say "shooters a lot, and also i always hear "not only is he a shooter but he's a scorer" lol
Van Gundy in my opinion is great, seems like ppl either hate him or love him, and he could care less,lol
