Watch the two NBA commentators interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Once coach and player, the bond between Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson has lasted over three decades. The pair developed an instant admiration for each other during their time at Penn Plaza for the New York Knickerbockers, which has been evident from their time together over the years on ABC commentary.
The pair were in Los Angeles this week, leading up to the All-Star game in the big apple this weekend and made a trip by Jimmy Kimmel Live. In the sit-down interview, Mark revealed his first impression on the coach and how it was embarrassing for Van Gundy to drive a Honda Civic in his days for one of the league’s biggest franchise.
While Jeff opened up on eventually upgrading to a Toyota Camry presently, he detailed a rare story on how his Civic endured a tragic death on a plane ride home – which you can watch above.
