Well supposedly that's why the pacers got rid of him. The team was having a lot of back lash from the fans due to things like the brawl and the strip club shooting. They didn't want him to have a negative influence on their stud Danny Granger.
What the happened to SJax after he left S.A.?
After his involvement in the Palace Brawl I kind of lost respect for him.
Pop must have kept him on his meds or something. Or maybe when he was up in Indiana he was smoking what Artest was/has always been smoking.

Manu>Jackson but not by alot.....If the spurs could somehow keep manu and get steven jackson then they would have that extra spark off the bench that they so desperately need.
Jack is also 6'8 and at least used to play D.
There's a lot to like - but also a lot to hate, his ball movement these days in non existant and I don't think he could accept the role of 4th option any more either.
We would be unstoppable with him.
Worst decision ever to not bring him back.![]()

That's the key right there.
Dude would have still been a huge and consistent contributer to the team had he stayed. A definite upgrade over the Barry/Finley combo - for roughly the same cost. It's funny that the Spurs have yet to replace the overall combination of skills (physical and mental) that Jax brought to the team. Sure Finley and Barry can shoot it, but neither is the defensive gem that Jax is.
Adding a period to a year old post, in addition to reminding everyone how thoroughly you got owned in this thread, proves conclusively that in one average game (bolstered by a strong ot), Sjax proved he is a better overall player than Manu Ginobili.
Actually that. I'll take the similarly productive player without a giant tattoo on his stomach of Prayin hands holding a gun.
You ing naive, Manu had back to back games with 37 points... ing asshole.
Let the truth to be told:
If we have SJax we are looking championship no 6th right now.. !!!
you are really showing that you don;t know about Manu and his stats with this post... i wonder if you know Tony's at all now...![]()
Are you Pressure? Then you can.
Last night was typical SJax, LOTS of shots, a low %age, almost nothing else in his stat line 3 RB/TO/AST.
SJax hits a 3 at a key point, and everybody gets stars in their eyes.
SJax took more shots than anybody on either team and shot a lower FG%.
Manu and Michael shot better 3G%.
The Myth of SJax (and the stability of his stats across 4 years) is alive and well.![]()
did anybody notice this is an old topic?![]()
Hey friend, Sequ said what he said in Feb of last year.
This thread is a push![]()
if we were just going to bring manu off the bench all these years anyway, why did we let sjax go?

bury this one.
That just goes to prove your timelessness.
It came down to $$$, as usual. Jax and his agent felt they could get more on the open market. In the end, Jax took less money to go to ATL. While there, he amassed career high averages in various personal categories including scoring and rebounding. He parlayed that successful 1-year stint into a multi-year, mid-level deal with Indiana. Of course, his time in IND was marred by the "malace at the Palace".
All that said, I still wish Jax was here. The Spurs could've sure used another cold-blooded killer, like Jax, to run besides Manu on most nights. Strange in how with all the guys they've run through town (Turkoglu, Finley, Barry, Brown) they've never fully replaced Jax's contributions. The mystery of the "long three" still remains.
I thought it was pretty hilarious, Sequ. Nice work.
