Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson called Wednesday’s Suns – Mavericks game in Dallas. During the 2nd quarter, the conversation turned to The Masters – specifically, what Van Gundy would be like on Masters coverage. Van Gundy took the opportunity to bring up Augusta National’s… checkered past with accepting non-white male members.

“Oh, like they didn’t allow black people and women in there? Like something like that? Yeah, I’m glad we’re quiet about that.”

“Would I have been wrong? Maybe pointing that out?”

ESPN will be broadcasting the first and second rounds of The Masters on Thursday and Friday.
