Jackie MacMullan is an American newspaper sportswriter, columnist and editor. A graduate of the University of New Hampshire, MacMullan is currently a columnist and associate editor of the Boston Globe. She began writing for the paper in 1982. From 1995 to 2000 she covered the NBA as a senior writer for Sports Illustrated.
In 1999, MacMullan collaborated with Larry Bird on his autobiography Bird Watching: on Playing and Coaching the Game I Love. She published Magic and Bird: Basketball's Awed Couple about Bird and rival Magic Johnson in 2003, and in 2006 released Geno: In Pursuit of Perfection with Geno Auriemma and Diana Taurasi, a work that has come under heavy fire for putting a sports columnist in a business relationship with a sports personality she ostensibly covers.
MacMullan has been a correspondent for several cable television networks including ESPN, CNNSI, and NESN, as well as WHDH-TV in Boston. She is a regular contestant (and only female one) on the ESPN program Around the Horn.
