    Mark just doing the color for the Nets, went on a little rant about how he was "So happy to finish my career with the rockets...so happy to retire while playng for the Rockets and Jeff Van Gundy....I did NOT want to finish as a Utah Jazz, i didn't want to retire that way"

    When pressed for a reason why he hated Utah by Marv, he said "I'm not going to go there, I just didn't like the way they did things up there".

    +1 to Mark Jackson.

    Sounds like he and John Amaechi should hook up. Err, you know what I mean.

    You didn't go there.

    I can't believe you took the 2nd easiest shot without taking the obvious one first. Clutch, I'm disappointed in you. As a Rockets fan and Jazz hater, you cut me deep.

    Really... who would want to retire a Jazzhole? Even Karl Malone wouldn't submit to it.

    I was hoping he would man up and admit that the reason was Jerry Sloan.

    he said the Jazz had "different values," vales he didn't agree with...

    Marv said "you can't just let that comment lay there..."

    interesting watching the rockets win # 19, announced by Marv Albert on a day customer #9 was busted for meeting with a prostitute.

    I keep hearing things like this all the time. Always hated the Jazz. Always respected Sloan. But its been obvious to me for awhile now. Sloan has no professionalism.

    Sloan is a very good coach but both him and Larry Miller are Class A jerks. I will never believe anyone who says he had a great time playing for Jerry Sloan.

    Mark is the one I really respect. He always backed up Yao and Rockets. Unlike others, Kenny Smith, Jon Barry, those clowns turned their colors after retirement.

    Amen. Though he also has to mention he hates that star football team from dallas.

    Atheletes? Did Charles Barkley write that?

    I've heard Mark on several occasions when JVG said that he believed the Rockets would make the playoffs before the huge steak say Jeff was crazy and things along those lines. I still dont like him hes a hater, guess he sees the bandwagon filling up.
