News about Jeff Van Gundy

ESPN 's***' on Jeff Van Gundy when the network let him go last year, the NBA analyst's brother has claimed in a stinging attack.

He formed a popular partnership with Mike Breen and Mark Jackson. Together they called the NBA finals before Van Gundy and Jackson left the company last year.

On social media, NBA fans were not shy about expressing their displeasure with the NBA's new prime time commentary staff. After Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy were paid off as part of ESPN's huge expansion of on-air talent, Doris Burke and NBA legend Doc Rivers joined Mike Breen on the commentary team. Before budget cuts brought an end to the beloved organization, Jackson, Van Gundy, and Breen had been one of fans' favorite commentary teams for many years.

Mike Breen, the award-winning NBA announcer, is still reeling from the news that his long-time broadcast partners Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy were fired amid ESPN's mass layoffs.

This week, Mark Jackson was the latest casualty of ESPN's continuing layoffs, but the former NBA star and long-time color commentator remained positive of the channel while thanking his erstwhile coworkers.

'Although shocked and dismayed by the suddenness of it all, I would like to thank ESPN and all the NBA staff for allowing me to be a part of the team for the past 15+ years.'
