Nuggets fans, Mark Jackson sounds ready to bury the hatchet. Jeff Van Gundy, though?

“I’ve had no issues at all (with Nuggets players and coaches) and I don’t expect any, other than one or two fans during one of the games in the Western Conference Finals,” Jackson, the ESPN analyst, former Nuggets player and NBA coach revealed during a conference call Tuesday advancing the 2023 NBA Finals.
The 58-year-old, who played 52 games for the Nuggets during the 1996-97 season, incurred the wrath of Denver faithful earlier this month when he admitted to leaving two-time reigning NBA MVP and Mile High icon Nikola Jokic off his 2023 MVP ballot entirely.
