Van Gundy said he was touched to learn that Albert pushed for the job even though they hadn\u2019t particularly gotten along when Van Gundy coached the Knicks and Albert announced their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s locally on MSG and also nationally on NBC. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarv Albert really pushed for that [me to get that TNT job],\u201d Van Gundy said. \u201cAnd so I worked with he and Mike Fratello and the crazy thing, even though Marv did our games, it wasn\u2019t like we spoke often. He was one of the old school guys who wanted to keep a healthy distance between team and broadcaster so that, you know, he could remain objective. And I didn\u2019t really <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate it when I was a Knicks coach, because I wanted more of a homer. Marv and I, like I said, we barely spoke and when we did, it was usually a little contentious.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"696\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/JVG-MA-crop.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Marv Albert (left) and Jeff Van Gundy (right) repaired a 'contentious' relationship.\" class=\"wp-image-20521326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/JVG-MA-crop.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/JVG-MA-crop.png 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/JVG-MA-crop.png?w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Marv Albert (left) and Jeff Van Gundy (right) had a \u2018contentious\u2019 relationship.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Allsport, AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnd then to find out that he actually pushed for me when we really didn\u2019t have any like great relationship or anything, it really meant a lot to me. And I learned so much with him and Mike Fratello, so that when I went to the Rockets and I was done there, I had a little experience. But again, I didn\u2019t have any designs on \u2018I\u2019m gonna do this because I know I can be good at it.\u2019 I sort of was in the way at TNT and that three-man booth, but I learned a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/fratello.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000\" alt=\"Mike Fratello\" class=\"wp-image-20521454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/fratello.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/fratello.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=500 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption>Mike Fratello<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">YES Network<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Marchand asked what the points of contention were between Van Gundy and Albert. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt always centered around [Patrick] Ewing,\u201d Van Gundy said. \u201cI didn\u2019t think he was particularly fair to Ewing as I listened and watched the game after \u2014 as you do as a coach. Sometimes I did it with the sound down, but when the sound was up and so, you know, I just didn\u2019t [think he was fair].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Van Gundy felt that Marv was anti-Ewing\/Knicks, and pro-Jordan\/Bulls. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>\u201cAnd the thing I didn\u2019t understand is, and now I do is you just have to say what you think in those jobs and you can\u2019t be worried about how it\u2019s gonna be received. You have to try to be fair and direct. And, that\u2019s what he was as a Knicks broadcaster. You know, and I thought there was like an anti-Knick bias at times and an anti-Ewing bias and a pro-Jordan pro-Bull bias.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, now that he\u2019s worked many seasons as an announcer, Van Gundy understands Marv\u2019s perspective on things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was me as a coach,\u201d Van Gundy said. \u201cMe as the broadcaster, now understands that, hey, Marv was just doing his job. And whether you agree with someone or you disagree with him doesn\u2019t matter; it\u2019s the broadcaster\u2019s job to say what he thinks and, and to be honest and fair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think every broadcaster should have to try to coach and every coach should and, and, or play, and every, uh, coach should have to try to broadcast because then you\u2019d have a greater appreciation for the job. The other guys are doing one, you know, what you were doing with the media though.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
