George Karl Fires Double-Barrel At Mark Jackson After Relatively Mild Criticism

Published|Updated

So tonight one of the big conversations on social media involves George Karl taking an all-out shot at Mark Jackson, who is an analyst on tonight's Blazers-Lakers game on ESPN. Here's the video of what Jackson said on top, and Karl's tweet on bottom:




This is either a case of Karl having gigantic rabbit ears or a game of telephone gone awry because Jackson didn't even name Karl, and it wasn't solely coach-blaming. Yes, Karl was Carmelo's coach for all his years in Denver except his rookie season. However, this criticism also encompassed all of his coaches with the Knicks (Mike D'Antoni, Mike Woodson, Derek Fisher, Kurt Rambis, Jeff Hornacek) plus Billy Donovan in Oklahoma City and a brief stint again with Mike D'Antoni in Houston.

Karl and Jackson have preexisting beef.

This league.
