Stephen Jackson says was cut for refusing to say green and ginobili were better

Manu needing confidence boosts from role players

dude that made me laugh way too hard

Danny Green is trash. If I was Stephen Jackson, I'd be pissed off too....

Right...that's why we are nearly unbeatable when he's on his game.

Yes, Stephen Jackson was cut because he wouldn't say that Manu and Danny were better than him. Jason Collins was cut because he came out as gay, and not because he was washed up as a player. Everyone in prison is innocent. And there are alligators living in the New York sewers.

Everybody knows that.

this clown

He was good against OKC and that's it. ing waste of time and money.

He though he still had a place in the NBA outside SA lol. Got a 10-day contract from the Clippers, got waived and never played in the NBA again.

I'm pretty sure Pop wanted him to stand on a bucket in a Girl Scout uniform while he said this. Finally his pride made him say, 'No Pop...you've gone too far. I will walk away with a bit of my dignity intact!'

No respect for this attention . He has an inflated ego and believes in his own mind that he would have been a HOFer if certain things went right in his career.

Pops ego is so massive. The real reason Pop cut him is that Pop was scared of him. Pop only coaches Uncle Toms.

I would say his play had something to do with being cut that year tbh, just a hunch.....

Well, he did help get RJ out of town, so there's that.

Jackson was better than Green if you compare their early careers, but at the time Jackson was creating locker room chaos, Green was by far the better player. Sure, Green wasn't a great scorer, but he was as good as Jackson was at that point. But Green was a way better defender. Jackson had lost all of his speed and was sssslllloooowwww. He was routinely beat off the dribble and moved like an iceberg. Jackson could only guard 4s and shoot threes, which gave him a small role on the Spurs. He wanted the Manu/Green two guard role because apparently his ego didn't blind him to the fact that Kawhi was better than he was. But still, he couldn't guard 1s, 2s, or 3s, so he had no business thinking he should take Manu's or Green's minutes, especially while we waited every 20 games for him to have the one game where he nailed a bunch of threes (and hooting and hollering about it to everyone in the building) while taking shots away from Kawhi. Nevermind that when that one game came along, he couldn't guard anyone on the other side so he gave up what he got.

SJ had grit. Danny would rather be friends with the opposition. Cant stand that. Its not compe ive. Ive never seen a 2 who couldnt dribble until green.

Pathetic! SAD!

Exactly. 'When he's on his game'

I thought it was on Duncan's recommendation to pop that Jackson should be waived
