Mark Jackson Goes to Town During LA Curbside Preaching Session

Mark Jackson loves two things in this world: hands-up defense and Jesus Christ. 

Having found himself out of a coaching job this offseason, the former Golden State Warriors head coach appears to be focusing his time and energy on sharing the latter.

The pastor hit the streets of Los Angeles this weekend for some good old-fashioned evangelism, posting up on a corner with fellow churchgoers to spread the good Word. 

Deadspin’s Tom Ley spotted footage of Jackson’s public sermon, which the coach says was part of a larger initiative encouraging Christians to take their faith to the streets.

As you can see, Jackson brought the kitchen sink and the laundry room in his speech, sustaining a high energy for what he said was an hour of preaching. The former New York Knicks guard speaks regularly at Los Angeles’ True Love Worship Center.

Jackson has shot several promotional videos for the church, where followers of Christianity worship “hard and passionately.”

Jackson took to social media on Monday after news of his curbside oration began to break on the Internet, sending out a simple message to his followers.

No shame in Jackson’s game—and definitely not when he's on the corner of Sherman Way and Reseda Boulevard.

Jesus could defend the elevator doors screen.
