Also: doesnt look like Spurs.com has posted the video yet. If anyone has it, finds it, or sees it when they do please post that in here as well, as I'd love to see what else he said.
Jeff McDonald just posted some great quotes from Capt. Jack after he addressed the SA media for the first time, here are some of his tweets:
Stephen Jackson, addressing SA media in full for 1st time since trade,said he cried tears of joy when informed he was headed back to Spurs.Jack says not much has changed about the organization since he left in 2003. "R.C. (Buford) still looks 16."Jack, when asked if he can recapture magic from 2003: "It's not if I can. I have to."Also, here's a Mike Monroe tweet from yesterday:And then my favorite Jack quote from today: “I’m going to be my normal self. .... I still make love to pressure."
I don't think any of us SpursTalkers were concerned to begin with, but just in case you or anyone you know was, this is certainly reassuring to see. As we expected Jack is prepared to take on any role with this squad as long as he gets to help us win. Regardless of how he has played the past couple seasons or so, I think the Stephen Jackson we get to see will be an entirely different player than the one Milwaukee had around. Jack knows he has a legit shot with this squad and there cannot possibly be a better motivator for a player (especially a veteran) who has tasted very little success saved for an 8 vs 1 upset in the past nine seasons. Loving this trade more and more every minute, can't even imagine how ecstatic we will be once we see him play himself into form and fit into the squad. Gotta love the timing of these couple of days off as well.Capt. Jack swears he'll relish any role #Spurfs coach #RealCoachPop gives him.http://bit.ly/xnuU6r

Great quotes
Why does everyone type SJax? That's not his nickname and has to sound stupid if anyone actually said it anywhere, which they do not.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Because people don't like to type more than 4 characters.
:Captain Obvious out:
His nickname is Jack.
why does this bother you?
People have been calling him Sjax forever (probably longer than buckets). Since this is the name that people have given him in the stead of his actual name, that would make this his nickname.
Saying all the right things. I love it.
Great quotessure thing
because its ing awesome thats why. personally i like to go with a different moniker each time; Jack, Buckets, Capt. Jack, Action Jackson, the Anti-RJ, ya know, just have fun with it. Besideds, its an abbreviation. People dont actually pronounce etc. "ET-CK," its et cetera. Just go with it.
I love this guy
I did not cry because of the trade ... just wet my pants
Tbh, couldn't call him Jack back in 2001 because of Jaren Jackson. It was JJ and SJax. But I guess you have a point since eventually TP2 was allowed to drop the numeral.
See above.
That's just it. I don't know anyone who actually called him that out loud.People have been calling him Sjax forever (probably longer than buckets). Since this is the name that people have given him in the stead of his actual name, that would make this his nickname.
ess - jaks? Longer than Jack. More awkward to say than just Jackson. Kind of sounds effeminate tbh; you could develop a lisp just saying it. Could be a batch of Alpha Bits with only one letter.
zhjaks? Even more awkward. Makes you sound drunk or French or both. I sound like Will Farrell's Harry Carey impression when I try to pronounce it that way.
I really hope Spurs.com has this video. The practice was early today so maybe not.
they already posted TPs
They put up a Tony Parker interview. He talks about Jackson and Bowen. Funny bit right at the very end.

I call him Jack, but I can't bring myself to agree with Chump because he insists on being such a ing asshat about it. Welcome back, SJax.
No doubt, I hadn't even heard of the nickname buckets til three days ago.
Sjax dates back to at least 03, although it is funny how no one actually says it in person
I'm gonna go full re and call him "Stack Jack"... that's like 12 characters including quotes!
Awesome, where's the video?! WB SJAX.
But you don't say it.
In fairness Chump, I'm sure you don't walk around saying "Link?"
I'm partial to Action Jackson myself, fwiw tbqh imho
Most people I talk to don't lie like they do here.In fairness Chump, I'm sure you don't walk around saying "Link?"
