A buddy of mine interviewed Scoop Jackson for a local paper:

Tell a friend you met Robert "Scoop" Jackson and they might ask who the hell you're talking about. The ones who know will be extremely passionate. Walk down the street with Jackson and half the people will be completely unaware the diminutive man they walked by holds the keys to a large creative empire. Others stop, ask if he is in fact Scoop Jackson and then laud praise upon him. Some even take cell phone pics of him.
Jackson is currently a national columnist for ESPN. The deal entails a regular contribution to ESPN.com (opposite cult figure Bill Simmons) and ESPN the Magazine. He also regularly appears on the Jim Rome Show, Cold Pizza and ESPN Classic.
Slam magazine is where Jackson became nationally known. Since his time there, he's arguably gained more access to the NBA than any other writer............................................ .................................................. ...............
