Mark Jackson has been offered $1 million by adult entertainment site CamSoda to serve as its first-ever play-by-play commentator, according to Bally Sports senior lead NBA insider Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson.
"You can even use your catchphrase, ‘Grown Man Move’ for sensational moments during couples shows when the man bangs down low and goes strong to the hole," CamSoda vice president Daryn Parker said in a statement obtained by Sportskeeda.
Jackson is also popularly known for his phrases "hand down, man down" and "with all due respect," which could prove to be useful in certain circumstances.
According to a 2013 article in the San Jose Mercury News, Jackson was a pastor for True Love Worship Center International in California, which would lead some to believe that it's highly unlikely he will take up CamSoda on the offer.
CamSoda came calling after Jackson was let go by ESPN last week. "This morning, unexpectedly, I was informed that my services were no longer needed at ESPN," he said in response to the surprising news. "Although shocked and dismayed with the suddenness of it all, I would like to thank ESPN and all the staff of the NBA ESPN crew for allowing me to be a part of the organization for the past 15+ years."
His dismissal came one day after the network made several cuts, including fellow NBA on ESPN commentator Jeff Van Gundy.
