He's probably begging the Heat to sign him.

[Bruno]

As I said since the the day he was waived: fuck him. He was paid $10M and let Spurs down. His 03 campaign has been fully erased by what he did 10 years later.

Just on a basketball level, I'm not sold that his waiving have hurt Spurs in the playoffs. While he was a terrific on the paper against Miami, he was so bad during the regular season that I have serious doubt he would have helped Spurs.

Naw 03 and his big shots for us is still legit. Erased? That year was great.

Miami Heat hat...retro Spurs colors...nice.

[Juggity]

If Jack had been able to back up his irrational confidence with solid play, he might still be on the team. Unfortunately, his ego just kept getting bigger and his commitment to the game kept getting more marginalized.

I still think we can trace Jack's downfall to last summer after the loss against OKC. Right before the start of the season he was on a radio show and the host asked what Jack had done over the summer to prep for the upcoming season. I don't remember the exact words he said, but effectively he explained that he had not touched a basketball or worked out for three months. I was incredulous at the time, but based on his play last season, it seems not too far fetched to believe that he really did think that he could get away with not practicing or working out in the offseason.

His resulting poor play led to injuries and minute reductions, which in turn led to his unhappiness, which in turn led to the confrontation with Pop, which in turn led to him being waived.

Damn shame, because after that OKC series, I really thought SJ had turned a corner and would be willing to do whatever it took to win.

[mienhmario]

Dude, everyone stop saying he will not contribute to the playoffs. I believe with Jackson in Game 6, he will at least put in some numbers in and Spurs would have eventually become 2013 NBA Champion. He would have been a great substitute whenever Manu struggles. Bottom line, Pop got too egotistic to have Jackson continue his complaining. All elite competitors complain from time to time and the media tend to drag it out a little more than it should. With Jackson, we could have won. We needed a backup shooting guard that was consistent. And, Jackson is consistent, Manu, not so much.

I think the Spurs don't get to the Finals with Jax playing. Let's not magically put him there as if he could just sit the bench all throughout the playoffs and play in the Finals. He was let go for a reason.

Yeah, consistently bad. He was Washed up when Pop gave him a shot for the last year(s) of his career. He was slow, didn't defend well, and couldn't shoot worth a shit.


He couldn't shoot 3s at over .30% average for his last three teams over a three year period. He shot .271 for us last year. (If you can't shoot at .33% you shouldn't shoot them at all) And he couldn't shoot over .37% on regular FGs (.40 is minimum for any NBA player and shooting guard should do much better).

Add his mouthy ego to eroded skills and he was a liability to the team.

Ditto.

[Chinook]

Jack may well have stepped up in the Finals. I actually think he could have defended Wade the best out of anyone, and that would have made for interesting options for when Ginobili was not having good games. The problem (and people don't seem to really understand this) is that the team only really had room for three wings in their rotation. To think that Leonard or Green should have played even a minute less in the playoffs is pretty hard to believe. Jack would have taken their minutes, and who knows what would have happened?

Your dumb. It is as if your implying Manu is really consistent. I have watched almost every Spurs game. Whenever Manu missed a lot of shots or hinder the offense, it was always Stephen Jackson's plays that stops the opponents momentum. It is true Jackson does not have the mobility to guard so much, but he is a lot better defender than you people give credit. Stop with your silly comments. With Stephen Jackson, we would have won the 2013 Champion. Pop was too egotistic. Nuff said :/

You completely missed the point of my post, moron.

I bolded your assertion that Jackson was consistent. This is completely untrue and has been for the past two seasons. His game-to-game stats are all over the map, which is the exact opposite of what you want a consistent player to be.

I never said Manu was consistent. But you declaring Manu inconsistent and putting up Jackson as an example of consistency is utter horseshit.

I said Jackson was more consistent than Manu; therefore, he would provide more of a help in the playoffs whenever Manu struggled. It is true Jackson stats are "all over the map", like you said, but his playoff stats are UNDENIABLE. The dude is pure playoff clutch. All I said in the post was with Jackson the Spurs would have won an 2013 NBA Champion.

Yeah somehow Manu, who has been a way better playoff performer than Jackson his whole career is subject to having his game slip with age, but Jackson, who's never looked slower, is not going to miss a beat in the playoffs.

I'd take Manu over Jackson any day. Same with every GM in the league. I can tell you right now that if the Spurs didn't sign Manu, he'd be signed by another team right now. Meanwhile Jackson is making the calls in China trying to catch on.

[timtonymanu]

Pathetic but not as pathetic as Danny Green, who was supposedly sick, going out late at night after Game 7 and sucking Lebron's dick basically.

Jack fucked over the team. Danny Green did not and was the Finals MVP for the Spurs for the first 5 games. Do not even compare the two.

But I see no problem with Jack wearing the Heat cap. Doesn't mean I think he's less of a douche though.

yes Manu would be signed, but not anywhere near 14 million and mainly to grab hispanic fans in SanFran, LA, NY or Washington DC. Hell, he'd probably have joined the Heat team since he already won a Finals game for them :lol

I'm gonna go ahead and say Stak 5 would not have won a game for the Heat

We don't know what he would be worth on the open market, but I can tell you it's not based on his being hispanic. Even with some of his athletism deteriorating, he's still a high level passer and creator, and dangerous enough that you can't leave him open on threes, as Golden State found out. He can still score in bunches as well, even though he his prone to a few more turnovers. I'm guessing that every playoff team in the league woudl throw money his way. His skills are still better than average at his position and he is also a great leader and character guy.

On the other hand, Stephen Jackson wouldn't have won a game for the Heat because he would have been stuck on the bench. He's too slow to play two guard (and probably small forward against Lebron). So he would have to play the four in small ball line up, trouble is, that's kawhi's position. And if he did get in the game, he was even more turnover prone than Ginoboli, he can't play defense anymore, and he is a worse shooter.

I'm not sure why anyone has blind faith in this guy. Ginoboli has had way more effective and important playoff performances than this clown and Ginoboli is a much better team player and character guy. You'll never see Ginoboli kicked off a team for his attitude. You'll never see him propping a guy that flagrantly fouled one of his teammates (see Shannon Brown flagrantly fouling Ginoboli and Stephen Jackson sticking up for Shannon Brown).

[Leetonidas]

If no one wanted to pick up Iverson when he was still able to play because he was a cancer then Crack5 has no shot. Getting waived from the San Antonio Spurs a week before the playoffs starts say a lot to the rest of the league. The Spurs are the most respected organization in the NBA by most teams/executives, so I'm sure Jack refusing to reign himself in under the direction of Popovich probably told the rest of the league all they needed to know

[tenbeersbold]

LMFAO,None of us really know why Stak was cut....

But I know damn well that second line-up coulda used him when they went dry and relied on Gary or Manu chuckin' 3's to bail 'em out

Stak 5 was a far sight better than the corpse of T-Mac on the court thats a FACT...

Cutting Jackson b4 the PO's was a dumb decision by Pop face it

Staks 6.5PPG avg was way better than Tmac's big ZERO

Statistics tell you that..sorry guys

Hell anyone that watched the second line-up struggle w/ scoring knew that having Stak woulda been a "pressure valve" baby :hat

It makes no difference that Jackson is currently better than the piss poor version of TMac on this team. TMac didn't get any significant minutes in the playoffs. So even while T-Mac showed he was done in the garbage minutes he got, Jack being better in the garbage minutes wouldn't have mattered. The real truth is that Jackson had the "pressure" reputation based on two games back in 2003. Other than that, he hasn't done much of anything in the playoffs. And you can't cite the Thunder series from two years ago because we lost the game in which he shot well.

Jackson's 2003 performance has caused him to be overrated by some on this website, and underrated by some on the others. While keeping him for beyond 2003 might have yielded good results for the Spurs from 2003-2007, in 2013 and beyond, he is not very good, and in fact, a team cancer. So any talk about him winning us the title against the Heat is laughable.

Seeing as this thread has become a battle of Manutards vs realists, I might as well join the battle. Even though Stephen Jackson’s performance during the regular season is shitty and he is prone to turnovers, there is no way in hell that Stak5 would have turned the ball over 8 times in Games 6. There is no way in hell that Stephen Jackson would have shot horribly from the three point line as Manu did during the NBA Finals. Stak lives to perform in the playoffs. Every playoff team that he’s played for, he has always contributed when it counts. Fuck the regular season.

I'm gonna go ahead and say Stak 5 would not have won a game for the HeatI see Hater with the goods as usual. Of course the Spurs would have won their 5th championship if Manu didn’t dress up for Game 6. Heck, I believe that Timmy would have won his 5th ring had Manu torn his ACL in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Having Stephen Jackson playing Manu’s minutes would have been enough to win it all.

We don't know what he would be worth on the open market, but I can tell you it's not based on his being hispanic.

A Manutard that has blind faith in a 36 year old washed up SG. Yes you are a Manutard because as soon as hater brought up Manu into the conversation, you were quick to come to the rescue.

Did you not read his interview? The man is still in denial. He actually believes that just being healthy is good enough for him to get his game back. He doesn’t have any aspirations to improve his 3pt FG% nor does he feel need to avenge his shitty performance in the NBA Finals.

We all saw that Manu was physically healthy during the NBA Finals, he said it himself during interviews. Sadly, being in good health will not be enough for Manu. He NEEDS to adjust his game. He needs to practice and improve his shooting during the offseason. I doubt he will or that he is doing anything to adjust his game. God damn I wish he would have retired. That SOB is stubborn like a mule.

Because Jackson's 27% three-point field goal percentage would have topped Ginobili's three-point shooting for the playoffs (34%).

The only retard in this thread is you. It's retarded to assume that Jackson would succeed where Manu failed given that as mediocre as Manu played, Jackson was worse during the regular season. And it's retarded for you to think that Jackson would be better in the playoffs based on his overrated reputation as a playoff gamer when Ginoboli has historically been better than Jackson ever was in the playoffs. It's also retarded of you not to pay attention to what I wrote. I never said Manu played great during the playoffs. I never said his poor play didn't hurt us in Game 6. And I never said he deserved the contract the Spurs gave him. I only said that he was way better than Jackson and only a retard would think otherwise. I trust a HOF coach with 4 titles over a guy that writes a post after the fact claiming We would have won a title if Jackson was on the team instead of Manu. That is retarded. As mediocre as Manu played, he did have key games in the finals where he impacted our wins. Meanwhile this Jackson this...great playoff performer remains unsigned and likely headed to China next year.

[DJR210]

While we don't have an official word from Pop, Jackson more than laid out the reason for his termination. He wanted more PT and refused to agree with Pop that others were ahead of him on the depth chart.

30 is the new 20, bossman.

If no one wanted to pick up Iverson when he was still able to play because he was a cancer then Crack5 has no shot. Getting waived from the San Antonio Spurs a week before the playoffs starts say a lot to the rest of the league. The Spurs are the most respected organization in the NBA by most teams/executives, so I'm sure Jack refusing to reign himself in under the direction of Popovich probably told the rest of the league all they needed to know

This. Nobody is going to fucking baby Jack so he won't pout. If he were DH12 maybe, but not some washed up role player.

We all saw that Manu was physically healthy during the NBA Finals, he said it himself during interviews. Sadly, being in good health will not be enough for Manu. He NEEDS to adjust his game. He needs to practice and improve his shooting during the offseason. I doubt he will or that he is doing anything to adjust his game. God damn I wish he would have retired. That SOB is stubborn like a mule.

I have to agree. I also understand Manu's stubborness is mainly due to the fact that it's that stubborness which got him his success. He was really not gifted physically or talentwise as say Duncan, so he had to play his way. Unfortunately there was a time couple of years ago for him to cross the thresshold and enter a new age where he cannot play like he did. He just refuses to cross that thresshold and prefers to be babied and conforted by Popovich and the hordes of blind Manufans.

Popovich went even as far as protecting Manu by removing Jax off the team for the sole fact that Jax was dropping truth bombs in the locker room regarding Manu's TOSBaggness

Hater is across the thresshold clamoring at Manu along with a few others "come on Manu, cross over to the other side. Adjust your game. You are just tarnishing your reputation by sitting over there like a spoiled little bitch"

It makes no difference that Jackson is currently better than the piss poor version of TMac on this team. TMac didn't get any significant minutes in the playoffs. So even while T-Mac showed he was done in the garbage minutes he got, Jack being better in the garbage minutes wouldn't have mattered. The real truth is that Jackson had the "pressure" reputation based on two games back in 2003. Other than that, he hasn't done much of anything in the playoffs. And you can't cite the Thunder series from two years ago because we lost the game in which he shot well.

Jackson's 2003 performance has caused him to be overrated by some on this website, and underrated by some on the others. While keeping him for beyond 2003 might have yielded good results for the Spurs from 2003-2007, in 2013 and beyond, he is not very good, and in fact, a team cancer. So any talk about him winning us the title against the Heat is laughable.

You forgot Jack's big 3 in game 1 of the WCF 2 years ago in which we won the game. It would have been nice for Pop to have options other than Ginobili with as bad as he was.

Umm right...and having a Jaws avatar tells me you have kindergarten tastes in films I guess....

Your only NBA title came with the Spurs and your wearing a Heat cap with retro Spurs colors, whatever.

Lids don't mean anything. That's why they have so many. It's an accessory.
