Mark Jones the overcompensating Canadian broadcaster with some inner self esteem issue who thought living in the redneck version of California suddenly gave him some american street credit to shxt his homeland whenever possible, that Mark Jones?

That's the first non-KANGZ FA signing in years! Good first move for the new Kings leadership.

Mark Jones and Doug Christie together? Big day for me as a Kings fan, best PBP duo in the league.
Mark is a good dude, very straight laced, doesn't play a Snapper Jones like role as the grouchy contrarian. Mark tends to just call game action, which is old school. I remember watching the once weekly NBA Today on BSPN from 1991ish/1992 to the latter decade. Whole different world then. Even if you had a computer, the internets or "World Wide Web" as they called it then was short on visual appeal and video (not to mention most people had the hideous dial-up connection w/ the schizoid start-up sound. If you're young, search for dial-up internet start up noise, sht is seizure inducing and you would get knocked off all the time and whenever someone in your house picked up a phone, you had to wait for them to hang up. There's a scene in The Sopranos from 2000ish where AJ asked Carm if she was still on her laptop so he could use the internet).
Anyway, then you had to scrape for whatever NBA show you could get. If you watched SportsCenter for highlights, they'd do them in bits and pieces and often just show score panels instead of footage. You had to wait for all the baseball highlights to go by, and football news and even crap like golf news. The good thing is that in the early 90s, SportsCenter had excellent, non annoying, non comedic anchors. Craig Kilborn was the first guy to come along and do a stand-up routine during lites and it was all downhill from there (Kilborn = the original host of The Daily Show also, before Jon). Then thankfully CNN brought on a nightly NBA scores/hilites show for a few years. Yep, CNN. Remember them pooing on Kobe in 96 on both CNN and BSPN. They thought he'd be a bust and thought he was arrogant for wearing sunglasses on his head during his declaration press conf. They griped that he even had one as a teenager.

He's not Canadian... at least in most Canadians eyes.
He has talked mad **** about Canada on ESPN for years, so glad I don't have to watch him ever again.

Re: Mark Jones is the new Sacramento Kings PBP announcer
It’ll never happen but I’d be interested to hear Marc explain why he’s so scarred from his experience in Canada. No doubt he encountered racism at various points along the way but obv that exists south of the boarder too (and everywhere). His brother Paul Jones seems to be doing well with Raptors. It’s too bad because Marc’s clearly very talented. Not too many guys walking around openly hating on Canadians.

Re: Mark Jones is the new Sacramento Kings PBP announcer
I've been noticing it's mostly Raptors fans dumping on this choice. I don't know what's going on there, but Jones is good. He's solid in all aspects.
