Mark Jackson continues to reference Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob in his sermons, with the latest mention coming almost a year after his firing.
“I had a joy when I was coaching,” Jackson said Sunday in recorded comments to his congregation at True Love Worship Center International in Reseda, where he is an ordained minister. “I had a joy when I got fired. The owner of the Golden State Warriors was baffled when I left the meeting, shook his hand and smiled. I said, ‘I’m praying for you.’ He looked at me like I just cussed him out. All I said was, ‘I’m praying for you.
“There are folks in this world that cannot comprehend or understand the peace that you have…”
Lacob was a topic of Jackson’s sermon in December.
Jackson told the congregation Lacob “put me on blast” and “said I was good for nothing, an owner that knew me for three years and spent a couple of minutes around me, an owner that had the audacity to say that 200 folks don’t like me in the business.”
