Sunday’s Magic at Celtics game marked not only the end of the NBA regular season for two Eastern Conference playoff contenders, but the end of an era for ESPN.
Mark Jones, a stalwart at the Worldwide Leader and best known as a top broadcaster for the network’s NBA and college football coverage, is stepping away from the network. That makes Sunday’s game his final on the microphone for ESPN; Jones first joined the network in 1990. He told Miami Herald writer Barry Jackson ahead of the game that it was his decision to step away.
