It’s not just the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets who are preparing for the Western Conference finals. Even the ABC broadcast team of Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mike Breen all broke a sweat on the basketball court ahead of the highly anticipated showdown between the top two teams in the West.

How do we know this? Well, Mark Jackson just posted this image on Twitter along with a caption Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen probably won’t agree with.

Jackson played 17 years in the NBA, so he’s always going to have an advantage over his fellow panelists. He has career averages of 9.6 points, 8.0 assists, and 3.8 rebounds on 1,296 games played. He also is fourth on the all-time list for career assists with 10,334 dimes.

As for Van Gundy and Breen, playing pick-up basketball was all probably just to get that adrenaline flowing for the Warriors-Rockets series more than anything else. It’s also worth noting here that Jackson was a former Golden State head coach, while Van Gundy used to call the shots for the Rockets.

The said series is set to kick off this Monday in Houston. The Rockets have won eight of their last 10 games at Toyota Center. The Warriors, on the other hand, have gone 5-5 in their last 10 games away from Oakland.
