Mark Jackson was of course the Warriors head coach from 2011-2014.  He deserves a lot of credit for helping turn this franchise around.

Under Jackson the Warriors reached the playoffs in consecutive seasons.  Jackson was fired after the team's first 50 win season since the 93-94 season.

Seeing Steve Kerr celebrating what he helped build has to make him sick.

If you didn't know then you weren't watching last night or had the sound down, because Mark Jackson used to be the coach the Warriors.  As he mentioned several times.

After the Warriors advanced to the Finals with new head coach Steve Kerr, Jackson got a little choked up.  Probably thinking that could have been us.

Making matters worse was the fact that some of his former players came up and showed him some love after the game.

This is why Mark Jackson does NBA games, he stays dropping knowledge.  Jackson was rambling on about who knows what when he dropped this knowledge nugget about caterpillars and butterflies.

According to Stephen A Smith, Lebron James wants to play for Mark Jackson.  Only one problem with that....Jackson is currently unemployed.  But there are teams interested, including the Cavaliers.

Could a Mark Jackson hiring in Cleveland bring LeBron back?

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith: "LeBron would love to play for Mark Jackson…From what I hear, he’s got a lot of love for Mark Jackson."

ESPN's Brian Windhorst on LeBron-MJax: "So if you see Mark Jackson get hired somewhere, there might be something else going on."
