I.D.I.O.T. Too newsworthy to be buried in the grizz coach firing thread. I like chandsome jokes as much as the next guy but I do think that as a past NBA player who has a public voice, Jackson shouldnt have gone there. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nesn.c...ndler-parsons-after-david-fizdale-firing/amp/
It's very simple, it's ok to belittle a white guy in the NBA as we've seen repeatedly with Ryan Anderson on this site. It's a double standard, you don't see Steven Jackson going after Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson. Also, that grammar and spelling from Steven Jackson! Doing Port Arthur proud!
Stephen Jackson was also calling Ray Allen gay (more or less) and hating on him in general last week in a series of Instagram posts. Not sure if he deleted them or not.
Bismack Biyombo. Heck Mike Conley's on the same team, signed the largest contract in history at the time, and is injured. Joakim Noah Luoul Deng Derrick Rose has a contract and isn't playing now because he just doesn't feel like it. The list really could go on and on. Does he only go in on Parsons, or all these types of guys?
C'mon, it's not a racial thing. Parsons was getting booed by his own damn fanbase earlier in the season. The knee injuries aren't his fault, but let's not sit here and pretend that he's shown some sort of overwhelming love for the game. The Grizzlies are ultimately at fault for giving him that ridiculous contract, but Parsons has also done nothing to show he deserves it.
Not going to get too into this or put thoughts in their heads too much but I do think its undeniable that that was at least somewhat a factor in his response to parsons calling the nba a brotherhood. He responded by pretty much saying “i grew up in the ghetto and you didnt so dont you dare refer to us as a brotherhood” Either way chandler parsons is deserving of plenty of criticism and im glad rockets fans dont have to put up with his ridiculous contract.
the Fizdale firing was definitely unfair They expected him to win with that roster? They lack so much talent it’s not even funny. Conley was out. Parsons was a huge mistake. He gets paid like a star, but produces like a decent bench piece. Their front office has been terrible, but Fizdale was made the fall guy. It doesn’t surprise me at all that Parsons is viewed as a guy who doesn’t care about the game.
Their GM is garbage. I think he had the clippers pick for this year but ended up trading it last year or something like that. Nobody wants parsons lmao. He should be a vet minimum player at this point honestly.
There is definitely an element of race involved, at least from SJax perspective. He basically said Fizdale was fired because he's black and John Paxson keeps his job because he's white.
You just proved my point, Corey Brewer was a bad player after he signed his contract and his criticism deserved, and even then I don't think he got as much hate as Ryan, who is a good player, did this summer. Double standard.
No he didn't. Everyone cringed every time Brewer launched a 3 from the wing. With Anderson at least there was some hope that the ball would go in. Each received well deserved critique. You're trying to make something out of nothing.
Are you kidding me? Of course Corey Brewer got plenty of hate on here. So did Royce White. So did Maurice Taylor. So did Stromile Swift. Here is why Ryan Anderson received the hate on ClutchFans: his contract vs. his production. It has nothing with his skin complexion.
Jax is a douche for saying he doesn't care about the game or winning. How the hell would he know. But as YOLO said, not surprised coming from him.
Didnt he cut get from the spurs for talking **** with pop in the locker room? Lol. Parsons isnt any sort of victim that deserves sympathy but I do think jackson comes across as a deuche here. He has a public voice, he isnt just a dude posting on a message board so i think he should’ve shown some restraint. Im just glad chandsome isnt on the rockets. He is definitely a prima donna deuche and his career has been a DISASTER since leaving the rockets (at least on the court, not in his bank account)
