They still talk at Golden State about the night Stephen Jackson called out Kevin Garnett.
Garnett, the Boston Celtics star, is a bully. Andris Biedrins, a callow Eastern European center, fit the role of victim. A petulant sort, Garnett wouldn't shut up.
Jackson wasn't in uniform that night. He was too injured to play, a rarity. But he wasn't too injured to confront Garnett. Jackson took a step or two onto the court and told Garnett he could either stop talking or start fighting.
No one seemed surprised Jackson would intervene. The shocker was Garnett's acquiescence; he shut his yap.
"I knew Biedrins wasn't the type of guy to mouth off to Kevin Garnett," Jackson said. "And I wasn't going to let him punk a young teammate."
Not a surprise at all...
Captain Jack--albeit a petulant NBA player--is one that doesn't really back down from anyone. Garnett finally used what little intelligence he had and backed down from confrontation against one of the few guys that you have to figure; has the history to back him up via reputation.
And then, in his street clothes, S-Jax proceeded to shoot an ill-advised transition three pointer.
...his concealed .9mm falling from the waist of his pants...
I miss Jax
That's just because the only other Spur who had Tom Barkley's balls like Jax was Manu and now his are shriveled raisins.I miss Jax
And what kind of balls does Sasha have?
Seeds?
Kobe lends him his when he comes out at 20 up.
Big enough balls to have the audacity to call himself an NBA player and collect a good portion of Dr. Buss' money.
I don't care what anyone says, THAT type of toughness and cold-bloodedness can play on my team any day. I love SjAX and the Spurs really miss that sort of anti-Spur at ude.
As someone stated earlier in an earlier thread, perhaps Jax should've been the target, over RJ?
Should have been, his contract is better overall anyways. Maybe things will work out, maybe not. Oh yea and we all know RJ plays no defense, SJax is almost in Artest's class when he wants to be.
Love the story of how he forced that punk-ass KG to back down.
"Let's take it to the stands"
Does anybody buy into Garnett's fake-tough intimidation act? Last year, even Dirk laughed at KG right to his face and proceeded to curbstomp him on the court. Then KG left the game and Dirk promptly got shut down by Leon Powe
Jack....
Powe & Perkins made us buy into it.
Good for Dirk. THat just means that Leon Powe is a tougher guy than KG - but then that should come as no surprise to anyone.Does anybody buy into Garnett's fake-tough intimidation act?

And the answer is NO. No one buys it anymore. KG is an intense player, but he's no tough guy. And why he'd try to perpetrate himself off as one, is anybody's guess.
It's almost as though KG is a bad actor in an intense drama series, yet the audience thinks he's a comedian. Nobody's buying into what he's selling.
That SOB! & then GS gives him that deal! I wouldn't give him a red cent.
Turiaf's finals performance was the reason I wasnt that sad to see him go.
Did jimmy jack .
Remember Powe pushing him just a moment after the final buzzer Game Six, and Turiaf with that sheepish grin. That's the problem when somebody has a near death experience: they ain't worth tinker's dam anymore. Like Rudy T.
Not enough credit goes to Lamar and Pau and their roles as walking vaginas.Powe & Perkins made us buy into it.
Guilty.
That was Big Baby.
Even worse.
Turiaf tried to shake his hand and Davis pushed him away like a .
Mother er laid an egg the whole playoffs. Then gets sonned by a sensitive pussy like Big Baby.
Whatever. Powell is better anyway.
GarNOTT is and always has been a little . Cheers to you SJax
