Mark Jackson: At the end of the day, I got fired and 24 hours later, I was signed up To go back to ESPN and call the NBA Finals, so it wasn’t like I had the opportunity to sit back and say, ‘Man, what is going on? How I’m gonna pay this bill? How I’m gonna do that or what I’m gonna do now?’ Before I even was fired I had another opportunity to go back to what I was once doing and be with friends that I have for life.
