As we reported yesterday, ESPN has fired NBA analyst and color commentator Mark Jackson. The move comes as part of a larger round of layoffs at ESPN, which has been hit hard by declining ratings and revenue.
Jackson is known for his fiery personality, and his catch phrases. This has led to many fans disliking the former Warriors head coach.
One of his catch phrases was now used by NBA fans celebrating the news of his ESPN termination. They all made the same joke, using Jackson’s “mama, there goes that man” catchphrase to the news of his exit.
