Why Stephen Jackson lost love for game

Stay away from Dallas, Bro.



Stay far, far, FAR away!

Your owner has made it pretty clear it's all about the bottom dollar, my man.

Check that, "Your previous owner...."

Check that, "Your previous owner...."

It's a business, Jack. Be a pro.

The Game Lost Its Love For You, Bro.

This is the same thing he was saying when he left the Warriors. When Davis left and a few others, he shows up in pre-season and starts saying how he is gone. He got his wish, and now, here we go again. I think he just wants to be traded to a contender, but his attitude is causing other teams to steer clear.

Wow.....what a load of bull. He is a professional, and professional actions and demeanor are expected....and not to be a surprise. Get over it and grow up. Period.

This guy is a loser, keep him away from The Lakers!!!

Orlando should trade for him.He wants to play with an all star.

Captain Jack needs to go to Orlando, or better yet, come to the Knicks

17 mins, 1 reb, 1 ast, 1 steal, 3 TO, 6 fouls ~ Out, and 6 pts ...

I can understand where he's coming from. The Bobcats weren't going to over power any team. They all bought into a philosphy that in order to win, and make the playoffs, they'd have to grind games out and play a physical style. The team bought in, were very much in the the playoff picture.... Until Jordan had a fire sale to clear contracts with not knowing what kind of new CBA they were going to have.

I don't care what sport you play, when you buy into a team concept, and are having success(they were winning more than losing, everyone know's they weren't title contenders). Then your management trades away your best player for little in return, that would take the wind out of your sales, and the philosophy that you bought into, seem lil' more then a steaming pile of dung. I know his past and his immaturity, but in this instance, most established players that aren't looking for a possible hole in the lineup to get extra playing time, would feel exactly like Jackson did. How could you not.

Exactly...what, should he just keep playing the violin while the ship is going under? No, he decided to look for a lifeboat. People talk about being professional as if the concept exists inside of a vacuum in the context of a team. It goes both ways. Management had something to build on in Charlotte, but being professional for them means keep the profits in the black. There is the Mark Cuban, Jerry Colangelo, Yankees way - get the pieces you need, see what you got, try and try again - and then there is the Bengals and Pirates way where profits come first and a competitive team is a luxury.

I want players who have some fire about them and want to win. No one should be forced to play for an owner who doesn't want to win because the game is played to win. He probably should have kept his mouth shut, but the sentiment is spot on!
