10:28 AM ET 12.27 | Ex-Charlotte Bobcat Stephen Jackson, now with the Milwaukee Bucks, said he lost his love for playing here once the Bobcats traded close friend Gerald Wallace last February. "When Gerald left, I really left," Jackson said at morning shootaround at Time Warner Cable Arena. "Considering what we did (getting to) the playoffs, and then all those changes. To take Gerald away really took a lot out of me. I still was trying to do my job as best I can, but it was a lot harder. When they got rid of Gerald, that let me know they didn't want to win. I didn't want to be part of a place like that."
