Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson became familiar faces and voices to some of the most iconic moments during the NBA Finals on ESPN.
However, things will be different for the network’s broadcast next year. ESPN laid off Van Gundy in late June after the trio called its 15th NBA Finals as part of the network’s financial cuts.
Then, on Monday, Jackson and the network parted ways after 17 years. Breen recently told the New York Post that he was completely shocked by the network’s decision to lay off his broadcast partners.
