It’s been a matter of intrigue that one NBA MVP voter had left Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic entirely off the top five of his ballot.
It wound up being Mark Jackson, which then begged the question, how could someone who played and coached in the NBA and calls games for ESPN have such a remarkable oversight?
“Mistake,” Jackson told Justin Termine and Eddie Johnson on the SiriusXM NBA channel Thursday afternoon. “One thing I live by, you make a mistake, you own it. I’m not a guy that does it for clicks or to be trending. Absolute mistake made by me. I am thinking, how did I make that mistake? You can tell I put one center, two forwards and two guards, so I wasn’t even thinking.”
Jackson’s ballot had included Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Donovan Mitchell.Mark Jackson admitted he made a mistake in keeping Nikola Jokic off his NBA MVP ballot.
