Mark Jackson came out of Queens as a playground legend and became one of the NBA’s all-time leaders in assists. Now, he’s a finalist in the Sacramento Kings’ coaching search, but his candidacy has been controversial from the start.

Sacramento Kings fans are tired of drama. They’ve seen and dealt with enough over the last 16 seasons.
The question is, if Mark Jackson is hired and there is more drama, but the team actually starts to win, are Kings fans willing to put up with that?
I bet they would. – 5:40 PM
