You want to talk about someone I cannot stand right now. Look no further than Mr. Stephen Jackson of the Golden State Warriors. That guy is basically saying to the media, David Stern, and anyone else that wants to listen "Hey this is me flushing my career down the toilet but because I make a ton of money there is nothing you can do about it."
He is worse than Ron Artest and Stephon Marbury were COMBINED. Jackson has absolutely lost his mind and I really see no way in coming back. There were talks over the off season that he wanted to be traded and wasn't a huge fan of coach Don Nelson. This sort of stuff happens a lot though and usually it finds its own way of working out. That didn't happen in this scenario. Jackson decided I am going to keep rebelling for the sole reason of he knew the Warriors would still have to pay him.
In case you're wondering what Jackson has done... Well he doesn't like his teammates, he got five fouls in ten minutes which included a technical, and he thinks being a captain is overrated. Jackson must be hitting the bong pretty hard these days if he believes that crap. Being a captain is something everyone in every sport looks to do and it means a great deal of pride if you are one. He is a headcase and will continue to be a headcase all year.
In some ways though, this isn't all Jackson's fault. No way should Don Nelson still be the coach of that team, he doesn't work well with the guys he has and there is need of a change. No way should Golden State has overspend on a guy (Jackson) whose practically been a role player all his career for playoffs team. He has never been the star of the team and that's what the Warriors hope to make him. They must have forgot he was a part of the Artest Melee in the Palace. That guy, that same headcase. Golden State cannot bitch for not seeing the writing on the wall.. they have to fall on the sword.
