Eminently Quotable Stephen Jackson: “Was there a lockout? I don’t know, I wasn’t even watching the news”
The NBA’s all about Chris Paul and Dwight Howard right now, but we would be remiss not to highlight a few epic quotes from new Milwaukee Bucks’ forward Stephen Jackson, as collected by Bucksketball:
“If I’m shot, I’ma get stitched and play the next game. I got hit by a car and played two days later.”
“I’m always 100 percent.”
If you’re wondering what “hit by a car” was in reference to, it was this 2006 strip club incident. In the next few quotes, he’s talking about Brandon Jennings and Andrew Bogut:
“Last time I had a good point guard and a big man, I was able to win a championship, that was with San Antonio.”
“I think he’s top three. I got him behind Dwight and Gasol.”
“I was on the opposite end of 55 points, so I know what this kid can do.”
Stack Jack loves Scott Skiles, his new coach.
“Ya’ll know me, I’ma tell you the truth, love it or leave it. You don’t like me, I don’t care anyway. I’ma tell you what’s real and I’ma tell you how I feel. I definitely feel we can get this thing done. I’ve always wanted to play for Scott, He’s one of the very few coaches I go over and shake hands with when I’m on the opposing team.
“He’s a fiery guy, and I’m looking forward to me and him arguing, because that means the fire is on the team and we goin’ in the right direction. To be able to play for him and Jim is a blessing for me.”
Jackson’s so busy, he didn’t even watch the postseason. Also: Not that impressed with the Mavericks.
“Who won the championship again? I didn’t even watch the playoffs.”
“Dallas sucks to me.”
The rest is just Captain Jack being Captain Jack.
“My name is Slash, I play whatever. I played center in Golden State, I played four in Golden State. Wherever I need to be man, I’m just ready to play. I’ll guard anybody, I’ll do anything.”
“I don’t mind leading by example, I don’t mind fighting for my teammates, I don’t mind putting myself on the line for my teammates.”
“You can’t teach somebody how to be a leader.”
“Was there a lockout? I don’t know, I wasn’t even watching the news, I wasn’t affected by the lockout, I don’t have money problems. Yeah I wasn’t playing basketball, but I can’t control that. I was doing my music stuff at the time.”
Stephen Jackson is so wealthy (earned an estimated $49 million in his career), he didn’t even miss paychecks. I love this guy.

If you put Steven Jackson in a room with Ron Artest for 24 hours, what would happen?
December 13th, 2011 at 4:12 PM
The room would turn into a pool, which would turn into a massive pool party.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:12 PM
horrible music will be created.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:18 PM
Player interest, through the roof.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:19 PM
I’m thinking they’d make the Bud Light elevator commercial look like a church social.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:20 PM
Guess I could have refreshed
December 13th, 2011 at 4:22 PM
Never would have guessed this guy was Ron Ron’s wingman at the malice in the palace. Dude’s not playing with a full deck.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:22 PM
As crazy as he is, I’ve always had a certain respect for him. Wouldn’t want him on the Pistons though.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:23 PM
Stephen Jackson is so wealthy (earned an estimated $49 million in his career), he didn’t even miss paychecks.
No, no he hasn’t. Tax, agents, managers…..he’s probably actually pocketed half of that.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:28 PM
You’re forgetting his killer music career on the side. Dude has to be pulling low seven figs from those dope beats.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:32 PM
Fear the Deer!
I’ll take him over Stuckey or Prince.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:32 PM

I don’t know, I heard his musical gear might be weak and played out as a haircut.

YYSA – Thoughts on the Shannon Brown pickup for the Suns? I like it.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:38 PM
Yes I like how he is acting like a major part of that championship. They thought so much of his contribution that they let him walk after the season.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:40 PM
That’s the Spurs, though. If you’re not part of the top 3, they won’t pay up to keep you. Cap’n had to go get that paper.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:40 PM
His corner 3′s were indeed an integral part of that championship. That is something not many players can do.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:41 PM
Run the break young man. Will be a good guy off the bench for some energy and I will certainly enjoy watching a couple nasty alley oops from Nash. This team is going to have to grind a lot of teams down to make the playoffs. I think they can do it because they have a great bench.
But in terms of just Brown I hope he worked on his jumper because that thing was ugly in LA.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:41 PM
I have always loved him, been a favorite since he decked that fucker in Detroit.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:44 PM
I just didn’t like how he made it sound like he was the ‘man’ in that quote. It would be like if BJ Armstrong was quoted when he was on the Warriors saying “You know, last time I had a great shooting guard and wing player, I was able to win a championship”
December 13th, 2011 at 4:49 PM
BJ Armstrong. Hawkeye legend.
December 13th, 2011 at 4:49 PM
But that’s what happened, they finally surrounded him with enough talent to get over the hump. BJ is but one man, come on now.
