Damn, listening to this interview on TNT, sounds like he's got issues with several of his teammates.

As the Bucket turns...

Damn, what happened to my boy SJax after he left the Spurs?
Pop would never have let any of this happen.
showing Stephen Jackson having a post game rant.
It almost sounds like the organization is souring on Stephen Jackson.
If so.
Go ahead and trade him on over to us Indiana. Ill give you Brent Barry and the rights to Scola.
Barry Scola and Javtokas.
Go ahead Indiana, do that, sour on a freakin stud like Jackson.

YES!!!!
I JUST MADE A THREAD ON THIS!!!
DO IT SPURS!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack should have never left the Spurs. Something about the Pacers is not right. They are too angry a team, it's endemic. It's shows in all the confrontations they get into. Not a good enviroment for Jack who already carries a chip on his shoulder.
Jack was hard enough to control when he was here. I'd rather have Robinson, who is probably going to come cheaper than Jack. I may be wrong about that.
Look at their heir apparent as far as team leader: Jermaine O'Neal. Getting involved in brawls, going on tyrades about Stern holding the black man down, etc. He doesn't have the maturity to lead a team.
I wish we could get him back somehow, if he keeps going down this path he's on he's going to end up another Artest.
I thought Jackson behaved pretty well here.
And especially with Pop ruling the fort, he knows he won't get playing time if he acts up.
It's the difference between playing with Jermaine O'Neal and Tim Duncan.
SJax is an emotional player. He probably hates himself for turning down the deal RC and Pop offered him. I feel bad that he isn't a Spur.
He doesnt hate it cause hes makin 5 or 6 million a year.
Bones, Scola and Javtokas, MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Are you crazy? Scola = Horry replacement. Robertas = Devin replacement (Devin's replacing Bowen).Scola and Javtokas
Javtokas is a center, why would he replace Devin???
Ok, Im down with keeping them.
But just Brent Barry aint gonna get it done. Wouldnt you need someone else to make the salaries match??
Isnt barry making like 4 and Jackson makes 7
Robertas = Devin replacement (Devin's replacing Bowen).
Robertas Javtokas is a center.
I think hes thinking of Sanikidze.
I meant replacing the energy off the bench.
Next year Barry makes 4.95 million, Jax makes 5.3 million.
Send Indy some draft picks, howabout the rights to Sanikidze too (he'd be expendable with Buckets in the fold).
Id trade Barry and Sanikidze for Jackson in a new york minute.
We should Indy an Arby's #2 combo with Curly Fries and tell them to keep Jax. He burned his bridges and now is showing he is really nothing more than a 2-bit cry baby thug.
I know you guys will disagree, but I'd rather have Barry than Jax. Jax makes stupid decisions in key points of the game and is a major headcase. Barry is a great team player and will play a key part, trust me. Just think, if Barry doesnt play another minute til the finals, he would be doing us much better up until that point than Jax was doing for us when we won the le. Give him a chance.....
Stephen Jackson is over rated so much here..
Hit a couple of shots and hasn't done since.
Guys a headcase, thats all.
Has the intelligence of three T Parks
Get the over it.
His gone and will never be back.
Why are you all so eager to trade young talent? Give them the chance Stephen Jackson had and has messed up with both us and Indy.
SJax was one of our greatest clutch players during the 2003 season....
The guy scored what, like 12.0 points a game that year? He was good, but not great. Also, don't forget he shot and turned-over his way out of games just as often. But give it to him, he was a cold-blooded shooter sometimes. He'll always be something of a minor legend with Spurs fans and left before he could turn into Jaren Jackson.
Dude has nothing left, what game of importance has he won since 03 ??
His not the next coming he is a role player who is not afraid to take a lot of shots...
Robert Horry is much more "clutch"

Here is some more information about what Jackson was so pissed off about after Game Six.
Jackson says teammates blame him for Game 6 loss
By Jeff Rabjohns

Stephen Jackson lashed out after the Pacers' overtime loss Thursday, saying someone on the team blamed him for the 92-89 defeat.
"It's my fault they said. We lost, and it's my fault. It's my fault. That's the word," Jackson said.
Reached after leaving Conseco Fieldhouse, Jackson was asked if he got into it with Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal during the game.
"We talked. We didn't argue," Jackson said.
But in two separate exchanges with the media after the Game 6 loss that tied the first-round series at three games apiece, Jackson said he was singled out. Jackson declined to name the source of the blame, saying only that it was "more than one" person associated with the team.
"It's not my place to say who said what, but they know what they said," Jackson said. "I'll take the blame for it. If you all feel it's my fault, then you all should agree with them. I don't agree, but hey, that's basketball."
Veteran forward Dale Davis said he didn't make the comments to Jackson, but he heard them.
"There were some words said, but that's neither here nor there," Davis said.
Davis later added, "Our main purpose is to go out there and play together and win. Stephen has to accept the fact of his role and the position that he's in. The most important thing is just focusing on basketball."
In Thursday's loss, Jackson was 5-for-15 from the field, including 1-for-6 from the 3-point line, for 14 points. He also had five rebounds, two assists and four turnovers in 47 minutes. He took more shots than anyone except O'Neal (6-for-19), even though the Pacers didn't run many plays specifically for him.
Jackson said he'll be able to put the incident behind him for Saturday's series-deciding game in Boston.
"If I don't put it behind me, then everything people's been saying about me is going to be true," he said. "You know everything they say, 'I shouldn't be here. . . . I'm a nut. I don't know how to play. My emotions hurt the team."
The comments could be another distraction in a season that has been marred by suspensions and injuries.
"I am taking this personal because I feel if you all come out and watch me play, I come out and give 110 percent every night," Jackson said. "Whether some times I get technical fouls, I'm human. But I go out and give 100 percent.
"I'm for my team. I got fined $2 million (lost salary from his 30-game suspension) because I went to war for my team. I will always be there. More than me taking it personally, it hurt because I do everything I can. I felt disrespected by hearing that.
"I am hurt because I will do anything for anybody on this team or in this organization."
Jackson, in his first year with the Pacers and fifth in the NBA, is the only player on the team with a championship ring, that coming in 2003 with San Antonio.
He said he doesn't care if the issue gets settled.
"I'm cool with it. I have to come to work, play basketball and help win games and take care of my family. That's all I have to do," he said. "Resolving this is not important to me."
"I don't really know at what point what really ticked everyone off," Davis said.
You guys that think we should be shipping players out to get Jack back should remember that he probably lost as many games for us as he won. So he's not afraid to take shots at the end of the game? If he hit's them, that's the least he could do to make up for all the stupid shots he jacked up and missed before that. "Clutchness" is overrated, and I'm not sure that Stephen Jackson even qualifies for that. I seem to remember him missing a lot of shots at the end of games as well. It just happens that the ones he was lucky enough to hit were late in the season/during the playoffs. The ONLY the thing that he brought to the Spurs that they actually miss was his length/athleticism on D.
It's incredible to me how some of you who are so in love with Jackson have accused me of living in the past and remembering Malik through "Rose" colored glasses.
