    It's no coincidence that the Bobcats started playing well once Stephen Jackson arrived. Where are all those vocal Stephen Jackson haters at again?

    Stephen Jackson can lick my nuts for all I care, provided that he can break away from his own nutlickers for a moment...

    I'm not calling you out here. But what I always find funny is how some people complain the rockets do not have enough talent. But do say that teams like the Bobcats have great players :confused: They are a weak team, ion an even weaker conference. Sure they had some good games. But this is a team with a lot less talent than the Rockets.

    Still right here. S-Jack is playing well now, but its just the honeymoon phase of their marriage, and he;ll be there for the next 3 years. His contract is still way too high for an aging chucker, and it will be going up each year as his play goes down. The Bobcats are the ultimate win a little now team...they'll make the playoffs and be first round fodder, but because they'll miss out on the lottery and they're capped out they have no way to get better for the next half decade or so, while paying salaries near the max. LOL

    Tyson Chandler got injured. Their defense is still just as good, but now they aren't playing 4 on 5 on the offensive side.

    Pretty much. He's a guy that deosn't back down from anyone. His swagger make the team believe they can beat anyone. Yeah, he's a little nutty, but he's so real he can see through that fraud nelson was doing. How are you going to alternate which guys will be active late in the season? Indy thought they were getting equal value because the numbers said so, but as soon as they traded captain jack, their team went limp and the warriors had one of the biggest upsets in the history of the nba. The warriors thought they were dumping him on charlotte, now all of a sudden, charlotte is playoff bound.

    The Warriors dumped him because the other members of the team couldn't stand him anymore. Jack basically admitted that.

    Stephen Jackson reminds me of Rasheed Wallace, an extremely talented player who could have been great but was held back by the gray matter between his ears. On top of that, he is a total jerk for basically forcing the Warriors to trade him one year after they gave him a contract far beyond what any other team would have done.

    I guess everyone other than Monta Ellis. Monta didn't want to see him go.

    Those players loved him. Think about that fraud in don nelson. Ellis goes down last year early and he clearly stated the season over in week 3! Are you kidding me? Then later in the season after he had already given up, he alternates between, crawford,maggette,and jackson. when have you ever seen a coach do ignorant stuff like that. Nelson is using his1st rd upset of dallas to the fullest and basically got mullin ran out of town. Then this year, they traded crawford and jackson and the year before let baron walk. Is it just a sheer chance that crawford is probably the best 6th man and jackson has turned a hopeless siutuation in charlott into a playoff team? Doesn't that sound like what happened in gsw after he was traded there?

    the people who hate Stephen Jackson also hate the movie New Jack City or Juice or Deep Cover or Above the Rim.

    Do you honestly think an NBA player is going to publicly admit they want another player to leave or they are glad the player left? How often does this happen?

    Jack called out the entire Warriors team for not backing him up (whatever he meant). I'm sure everybody on their squad loved him and he just didn't know it or feel it. Or maybe he was just delusional. Jack became the lone ranger and his presence was detrimental to everyone. I know about him and Nellie but to say it was all Nellie is wishful thinking for people who love Jack.

    See above post. Also realize I've been blasting Nellie longer than anyone here. I'm president of that club. ;)

    You have to give credit to Larry Brown also. He was turning around losing teams, before Jackson picked up his 1st basketball. You put in another coach, they still suck.

    I'm just going by some article where they said one of the biggest reasons Monta demanded a trade was because Jackson was traded. He said Jackson was a role model to him.

    They are playing in East. There are only 4 teams that can make playoff had they in west. Enough said.
