Don't care what he has to spew.

Someone give me some notes, not gonna watch 35 minutes of that stain whining
tl;dw
I fast forwarded to the Spurs parts...Jack's kinda delusional but I guess he was somewhat respectful of the Spurs and Pop, at least he didn't put them down too much. But "Pop still cares about me" and "Pop only cares about 3 guys" is re ed.
Most of that interview isn't too bad, he only talks about SA for like 4 minutes. I still think he's probably sugar coating a little bit and he was probably much more of a prick than he lets on. I think it's also funny he doesn't mention Manu in the list of people he's friends with still

We almost beat Miami w/o him,we have him coming off the bench,we win its that simple.
Was a huge mistake to cut him before the PO's
McGrady contributed nothing at all Jax wouldna gone out like that
Second unit missed that guy who could create his own shot and drive to the basket/post up
I agree with your last sentence..too bad Stephen Jackson can no longer do any of those things and hasn't been able to for years, tbh
In defense of Jax, his height alone would have altered some shots on the perimeter, and his play might have helped Manu to commit a few less turnovers. Reality is we lost. Reality is he may have made a difference. Too bad Pop handled the situation like a Kobe.
I'll always love Jack for 03 but he was so ing lazy and ty the second time around. One of the first training camp vids last year showed him bricking a bunch of three's saying "i haven't touched a bball since OKC, been in the studio". Really dude? You're getting paid how much again? Because I'm pretty sure Kawhi Leonard just spent his whole summer in the gym.
Glad Pop finally soured on his worthlessness. Doesn't send a good message to be playing a guy like that still. And he's also not that great a rapper.

Given that the majority of his minutes went to Green, Neal, & Kawhi - all of whom had strong series, Jax would have offered virtually no upgrade over any of them. Maybe as a small ball 4, but even Diaw was playing at a pretty high level.
Not that we couldn't have used a little bit of make love to pressure Captain Jack, but for all the talk of Manu's 2013 regression - Jack was 37/27/70 when he was released. He wasn't rebounding or defending either. He looked washed up.
you take out Ginobili and add Jax and we're talking about realistically repeating next year for the first time in franchise history.
did these posters actually watch Stephen Jackson play, tbh?..
He was arguably the worst rotation player in the NBA this past season..he would have died against Miami's pressure defense, tbh..
There's a reason teams aren't interested in him, in addition to being a cancer, tbh..
All these "what ifs" and "should've been's" are pointless. jax wasn't here, end of story. Can't change a damn thing about it now. I find it funny that he can't stand Manu now. I remember back in 03 after they won the ship. He was sitting up at the podium with Manu talking about how he wanted to play the rest of his career with him. Hahaha pathetic.
And on top of that he'd probably set a poor tone for the refs and grab untimely technical like vs OKC
What a crazy roller coaster ride it has been for the Spurs SF position....
Did he mention Duncan? Because if so, that puts a pin in all the Jackson/Amy talk.I fast forwarded to the Spurs parts...Jack's kinda delusional but I guess he was somewhat respectful of the Spurs and Pop, at least he didn't put them down too much.

Jack's poor at ude and lack of professionalism got him kicked off of the team, and this was after the Spurs rescued him from NBA purgatory. He's been his own worst enemy his entire career who typically ends his tenure with a team on bad terms. If he had accepted his role, he could have stayed on the team, made some sort of contribution, and still be employed in the NBA. He's on the outside looking in due to his own actions.
Jackson was the worst player on the Spurs this season and possible bottom 10 in the whole of the NBA. An utter liability. Zero offense, below average defense and basically useless all year long. Only his past reputation kept him in the team for as long as it did, before Pop pulled the plug, afraid he may hurt the team's chemistry.
In a way, my only complaint the whole season was that he didn't get traded at the deadline. If the Spurs had been aggressive in getting rid of him and his expiring contract, they might have got atleast one more decent rotation player instead of the TMac corpse that the Spurs were carrying in the postseason.
Yep, and that was my problem as well, I made a thread about it..
Jackson as a player is horrible and finished, but his contract could have netted the Spurs a decent wing in return, unfortunately..
Say all you want,Sjax woulda done more than Tmac and thats a fact
Just his size and length/strength and post up ability(No !) would've steadied the second unit during those scoring droughts where they just relied on Gary and Manu to jack up desperation 3's at the end of the shot clock
C'mon dude lived for the big moment,I just know he woulda had a 20 point game in the Finals if he had been able.
I'll never forget Sjax during the OKC WCF...""If you're scared,go to church" THAT was calling out the team
I hope he put away a lot of the money that he earned because I think the best he can hope for is a minimum contract. His NBA career might be over.
i love jacl, obviously, but those 3s ended up meaning nothing.
Actually, I think Jackson's face "put a pin" in any Jackson/Amy talk. I think another poster said he looked like "The Black Grinch?" Right. Not a chance.
BS,they meant EVERYTHING,if every other player on the Spurs had just a little bit of that confidence/swagger we woulda won that series and not folded
Sjax brought it,everyone else wilted under the pressure.
You could see the panic/fear in the Spurs eyes after game 4 sad indeed
Didn't listen lol
Emo spurfan continues to retcon the finals.
