Steve Blake Cussed Out the Wrong CEO’s Son. Lance Jackson Reportedly Told Blake, ‘You Need to Knock Down Those Open Shots’
Steve Blake, following a dismal performance Friday against Clippers, ended up cussing out a fan in the front row. Today, the NBA fined him $25,000. According to various reports, the fan told Blake, “You need to knock down those open shots” – Blake shot 2-for-6 that night – and that set the former Maryland point guard off. (Blake has been known to have a bit of a temper.)
This afternoon, the fan’s name leaked on twitter – former UCLA basketball player Kris Johnson was one of the first to make the connection, and Dexter Fishmore did, too – and it turns out his name is Lance Jackson. His father is Steve Jackson, the CEO of LA Gear. How big of a baller are we talking about? From 2011:
Finding a practice spot closer to their team hotel that did not involve the trip downtown, the Heat practiced at the Bel Air home of sneaker mogul Steve Jackson, chairman of L.A. Gear.
There, the Heat worked on a regulation court painted in Los Angeles Lakers colors, with a Lakers logo at center court, a near perfect replica of the court where Jackson holds eight courtside seats.
Athletes are human. They snap. Occasionally, they’ll regret snapping. This is one of those times. According to one report, Blake is going to meet with him and the two will squash the beef like adults do.

How is the CEO of LA Gear not living in a drainage ditch somewhere?
November 6th, 2012 at 5:46 PM
I can’t believe LA Gear is still a thing…it really is? I thought they just had a good 5 year run in the 90s like BKs, Stussy, and Maui and Sons.

LA f**kin Gear is still around?? The heir to LA Gear Empire can afford court side seats at Staples? Was he sitting next to the FUBU and British Knights heirs too?

+1 played out haircut

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume Blake isn’t the only one that thinks L.A. Gear Jr. is a total douche.
November 6th, 2012 at 5:54 PM
more like la queer, amirite?
November 6th, 2012 at 5:58 PM
Why is he the wrong CEO’s son?
I’m amazed that there’s some LA Gear fortune to be had.
November 6th, 2012 at 5:58 PM
You were somebody in elementary school if you had LA Gear. Sneakers with lights in them. high tech shit.
November 6th, 2012 at 6:02 PM
Great question. Not only does it sound like a case of mistaken identity, but then when you realize what JMac means, you still find yourself asking the same question.

This was a better story this morning when Vez said it was DHo…
November 6th, 2012 at 6:14 PM
Maybe now he won’t feed the Lakers all the info he gets when teams use his place for practice? Just a guess.
Also he doesn’t just run LA Gear (which is pretty much a dead company) his corporation is responsible for a bunch of footwear with affordable prices. When Shaq came out with his shoe that’s where he went. Dude is loaded.
November 6th, 2012 at 6:16 PM
He should’ve cussed out the son of the ceo of Sacramento Gear?
November 6th, 2012 at 6:17 PM
Ahhhh, a private label king
November 6th, 2012 at 6:23 PM
I remember reading an article a long ass time ago about some guy running through the woods away from the cops while wearing these light up sneakers and they could see everywhere he was going.

gotta love the punk kids of successful people. They get a lot of mileage from their entitlement. It’s easy to sit in the front row seats and complain about the players.
November 6th, 2012 at 7:05 PM
does Karl Malone still rock LA Gears?
November 6th, 2012 at 7:19 PM
LA Gear is still a thing?
November 6th, 2012 at 7:20 PM
Pretty easy to make a fortune when you pay most of your labor force 10 cents a day.
November 7th, 2012 at 8:31 AM
LA Gear? I thought you could only find that in the thrift centers…
November 7th, 2012 at 7:25 PM
“I am entitled to my entitlements!”
Seriously, douche or no douche, kid was right…Blake has no jumper to speak of…
