During this NBA Finals, my dad and I have become increasingly amused by the announcing combination of Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson. Jackson is particularly funny with his quotable fade outs into the commercials. He is famous for phrases like “Paul Pierce just said ‘Kobe, with all due respect, I am gonna play my heart out because this is my court and I protect it,’ and then he knocks down the three from the corner pocket. Well done Paul Pierce.” Add a New York accent and a pre-commercial break jingle in the background and you’ve got one of the funniest announcers there is. So, “make no mistake about it, the ABC trio is one of the best there is; give credit where credit is due.”

P.S.  Below is a hilarious clip of Jackson doing what he does best…making me laugh.
