Mark Jackson
Blackballed before one can start traction
Actionable roadblocks — approaching
— prospect of coaching
Opportunity encroaching
Pre-destined target of poaching
Sledgehammer makes — cockroach sing
Come out to play — Golden State
Warriors kicked him out — the estate
Do we need to restate? — As we state…
Something afoot — taking steps forward
Underground rumbling — sound of more herd
Heard — flock erupt like crowds after — Wemby block
Shocked — media claiming fired — never hired
Take it to the internet; not even — intern yet…
Let the past stay behind us
Thus, overqualified Brooklyn native…
Superlative assists, but not Chuck Person
Worsens, when identifying contemporaries

Side—by—side resumes, why compare these?
Threw off the GOAT’s rhythm as a Pacer
“Mama, there goes that man!” — tracer
Of the ABC, formerly for ESPN
Then, the layoff…
Lay off…

Almost two sports when the Lions play Goff
Scoff at those creating real-time parallel
— Last name starts with W — don’t pair the ‘L’
To the upcoming microphone controller
MC — hypnotize — eyes that control her
Concurs through body language
Master of ceremony — vernacular Cambridge

Then came bridge — after — 3D printing pathway
The Devil Wears Prada, according to Anne Hathaway
Time traveling — Four Seasons robe after bath today
She’s my type; tossed the bouquet away…

No interest in walking down the aisle
Along the Isle…
Palms Resort in Paradise…
Rolling a pair of dice
Twice — Vegas and South Carolina
Myrtle Beach — together, kinda

No interest in walking down the aisle
