Mark Jackson

Intro Although Mark Jackson is known mostly for being the former Golden state warriors coach these days, he was once a journeyman NBA player in the 80s and 90s era of the NBA. Drafted initially by the New York Knick where he'd play his first few years, he'd go on to play for other teams as well like the Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, and the Denver Nuggets just to name a few. However, he was playing for the Indiana Pacers when I started to get more into the NBA, so that's why I chose his Pacers uniform for this app. He was never considered an elite player, and he never made an all star team. However, he was a solid role playing point guard that could make open shots, and he was a fairly decent passer as well. He led the league once in passing in 1997, and he's currently ranked 6th on the NBA's all time leaders in assists.
