KLEIMAN: “That being said, whether it’s the Knicks, Timberwolves, Pacers, Clippers, any team, Mark Jackson is, to me, just one of those unique individuals that knows how to lead people, that knows how to inspire people. He’s got a personality that demands a certain level of attention. And I think it’s unfair that he hasn’t gotten a shot in the league, but I’m confident that he will. And I try not to get caught up in the six years that he hasn’t gotten a job and understand that for me, as his friend, he’s still the lead national analyst for the NBA (on ESPN) and the right job will come for him. And if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Mark is winning in life. He’s got a great family, he’s got a great job and he’s a great person…. I’m rooting for him as a friend but again, I think Mike Miller deserves a shot to see this through. He’s doing well.”
