Stay classy Captain Jack.
MIAMI — Stephen Jackson flew commercial to Miami on Tuesday. He should have been on the Spurs' charter.
He should have been joking with Tim Duncan and listening to Gregg Popovich. He should have been preparing for his second Finals and hoping he would get a few minutes trying to defend LeBron James; the Spurs might have been better for that, too.
Instead, Jackson sat in 3A, on United flight 1158, from Houston to Miami.
Any regrets, he was asked?
“Nope,” he said. “Got my money.”
He smiled broadly, as if to convince himself.
Jackson says he didn't come to Miami to watch the Finals. He said he hasn't watched any of the Spurs' games this spring.

Stay classy Captain Jack.
I could see how anything to do with "mind" could confuse SJackson.
I'd hoped Jack had matured by the time he got back here and obviously that isn't the case.
He'll never get more than the vet min. if he ever gets a contract offer again tbh. I don't think he ever gets back to the league and hope he doesn't blow his money or end up looking like Steve Francis.
He's heading down the Bonzi Wells road
nice to see money was his primary motive-in retrospect, nice move by pop to dump the excessive garbage.
Really good article. Nice to get a little more perspective on what went down, even if we'd all assumed as much.
He never once said in that article that he wanted to play ahead of Danny and Manu, he just said he wouldn't admit they were better.
Bad form on the le, should change it.
I suspect Pop's 'mind games' were in the nature of 'work harder to prove you're better than the guy in front of you and you'll get more minutes.' or 'You are shooting under 30%. Being a vet doesn't get you any slack on performance vs. minutes on my team. That's the Spur's way." or 'Your legs are gone and you are a liability on the court"
Things will get worse before they get any better for him, he's the epitome of one being their own worst enemy.
POP should have waived him right after the trade deadline, i guess he did not do it because of what happened in Jax family... BUt if he had waived him and signed tmac since then, maybe tmac could have some role by now.
I couldn't care less about Jackson. SAS money is probably the last paycheck he will get from a NBA team.
I wish him well as a person, but he was awful this season. A lot of people were saying wait for the playoffs and maybe rightfully so, I've watched the same games as everyone else and I have to say he was not doing a Robert Horry. That mans joints are completely rusted over.
Wish he never came back.
I could understand if he thinks he's better than Danny Green, but c'mon there's no way he's better than Manu. That's just ridiculous. Even with all of his injuries, Manu is still better than Stephen Jackson.
I'm glad he came back because of him the Spurs were able to get rid of Jefferson. Win/Win situation.
He thinks hes better than Manu and Green?
Grow up Jack, damn.
Seems pretty straightforward to me. He said they *aren't* better, not that he wouldn't admit that they were.
But but but pop is supposed to keep him around though!!!!
I guess, but I still disliked him. I'm glad we cut this foo.
Now this is almost as stupid as Sjax being a headcase in the spurs locker room.
He doesn't come back, we still have jefferson. For another season. At 11 million.
Sjax coming back is still, in light of all of this, such a win of a trade that it isn't even funny how badly we violated the GSW
We should have traded his expensive overrated ass when we had a chance, tbh. Thinking that you're better than a Hall of Famer when you were arguably the worst rotation player in the entire NBA.
Horrible take. It's incredibly funny how badly we violated the GSW.
