NEWS: ESPN is closing in on promoting Doris Burke to the NBA Finals, demoting Mark Jackson and hiring Doc Rivers in the wake of the Jeff Van Gundy firing, The Post has learned.https://t.co/8AhPLrR6U4

MAMA! there goes that man

not the worst outcome, but not the best (firing mark and keeping jeff)

doris is ready for the job. i can't remember doc ever being on TV but ppl have said he's good. JVG was on another level when he wanted to be but this feels like not the worst outcome given what ESPN is up to generally. i'm just glad that they're keeping perk/RJ/JJ/stephen a etc out of the main booth

So the core booth would be Breen-Doris-Doc? I guess I can see it. If JVG ends up on TNT I am happy to sacrifice him if it means we're done with Jackson too

def a less how do you say personality forward crew, prob a good thing

id love to have JVG decoupled from Jax. Hope he gets a gig at tnt

omg... double van gundy crew

sign me up lol

Doc's got a terrible, raspy voice though... I'll take it though. Mark Jackson was annoying as hell. Would have been Hilarious if it was Breen, JVG and Doris though, with Doris likely calling out Jeff's BS constantly.

yea I think Doc is a smart and interesting dude who says a lot of profound basketball stuff but he's pretty difficult to listen to

jim jackson sounds so much like doc, throws me off when i hear him calling games

i like their voices tho

maybe he's just had a cold every time I've actually heard him idk

feel like he more normal calling games than when hes coaching and yells for three hours

NEWS: Mark Jackson is now out at ESPN, according to sources.https://t.co/8AhPLrR6U4

— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) July 31, 2023

we are free!!!

amen

sadly this opens the door for him at tnt doesnt it

Sources said that plans to put him on the network’s “B” team alongside Mark Jones fell apart in part due to the hope of getting more game reps for JJ Redick and Richard Jefferson.

it's pretty funny that ESPN singled jackson out like this -- there is some dignity in "you make too much money & we have to lay you off." but instead he got "we would like to publicly humiliate you by keeping you employed but demoting you"

yeah kind of odd

hand down man down

by all accounts he seems like a horrible person maybe they hate him

some stupid GM going to hire him to coach

I really don't mind JJ. RJ on the other hand, his analysis isn't terrible but there's a smarminess in his voice I just cannot abide

JJ needs someone fun to partner with hes a bit self serious. solid analysis tho

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/8/7/23819588/tyler-herro-ceiling-miami-heat-damian-lillard-trade

apparently herro is one of only 17 players since 2000 whose measurements are available with a wingspan shorter than his height

lol trotting out tyler herro wingspan stats is ultimate summer doldrums content… yeah we know the guy can’t play defense thank u zach

seems like the ideal role for him three point specialist who then has the ability to attack when he has an advantage, like he doesnt stack up against lead guards as far as getting to the rim but compared to other pure shooters hes amazing, so if you use him like kyle korver who can dribble seems like hed be pretty tough to deal with, obvs thats not as valuable as a lead guard but maybe thats just not him

how much difference btwn huerter and herro nowadays?

i enjoyed the list of short arm guys, not a great track record there.

the white mans burden

got curious and am proud to report i don't fall into that group

i still can't play defense though

the ringer being so invested in the heat not getting dame that they're comparing tyler herro to jon scheyer and Martynas Andriuskevicius... the hate is so real

kelly o being on that list is the least surprising

guess JJ is the best case scenario (but still an overall liability on D)

herro is already much better than redick so i guess the best case scenario is herro

desmond bane also notoriously has shorter arms than his height, maybe he didn't get measured at the combine or something so he wasn't included but from what i see he's 6' 6" w/ a 6' 4" wingspan. so maybe the best case scenario is him

we need the full wingspan data set what are they hiding from us

just measured my wingspan too and I'm also not in the dreaded short arm club, unlike famous basketball player tyler herro

banes arms look like theyre 6" shorter than his height

the great part about working from home is you don't have to work you can spend time having your daughter help measure your wingspan because of a ringer article

slightly higher than my height, analytics guys love me

heard the wolves have a 15th roster spot open for you

already in talks w/my agent

I’m slightly below average height but according to my measurements I have the same wingspan as wembanyana? weird that I never noticed
