Retired NBA player-turned-TNT analyst Shaquille O’Neal, who won three consecutive NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers between 2000 and 2002, recently told Reuters in an interview that the former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson would be his pick to lead next year’s Lakers.
“Mark Jackson helped build Golden State before Steve Kerr took it to the next level,” he said. “He made it a very sexy brand to watch, so I’m sure he can do that with LeBron [James] and Russ [Russell Westbrook].”
Mark Jackson, an NBA analyst on ESPN, coached the Golden State Warriors from 2011 to 2014.
