By then, the Indiana Pacers were done anyway. LeBron James scored 24 points -- mostly with Jackson trying to guard him -- in the first half and finished with 27 to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 107-75 win over the flustered Pacers on Saturday night. Indiana's ugly loss was compounded by an incident in the first half involving Jackson, who was kicked off the Pacers' bench by coach Rick Carlisle. Late in the second quarter, Jackson was pulled by Carlisle and the two had words. Carlisle then pointed for Jackson to leave the bench area, banishing the fiery guard to the locker room for the remainder of the game. "I substituted for him. He came to the bench and an exchange ensued that I thought was inappropriate and detrimental to the team," Carlisle said. "So I made a decision to remove him from the bench.</div>This guy never learns... I'm not exactly his biggest fan (ala my sig). Thoughts?
Wow, Stephen Jackson is a huge headcase. He is pretty good with the ball in his hands, and has a jump shot, but he's just a pain in the ass for the team to handle..
Since you've not been here very long, I'll post again what I think about him:He's a good scorer when he's not shooting 3s or taking worthless jump shots. He's good when he drives the lane. Since he always shoots 3s and he always takes bad shots, and he never drives the lane, he's not a good player.He's a good defender when he's not complaining to referees while his man is scoring. But since he's always complaining to the referees while his man is scoring, he's not a good defender.I've never been a fan of his. A 6'8" guard. He's taller than everyone who guards him. He can get around easily, he can score easily. But instead he doesn't use his skills and size to his advantage. He makes himself just an average palyer with an attitude problem.He's also a cancer. Although he's liked by teamates, he does not help focus his teamates, motivate them, or teach them. He is mostly about goofing off.Therefore, it has been time for him to leave since he arrived. I knew this, but of course I can't trade him. So now, the orginazation discovers what I've always known: Steven Jackson is worthless.In solution, I have a trade proposalacers trade: Tinsley, Jackson, and O'nealTimberwolves trade: Kevin GarnettWe get rid of Jackson and Tinsley and get KG. Timberwolves get a pg (Tinsley), another scorer (Jackson), and a super-star (JO - who's two yers younger than KG)
Why would the Twolves want a PG whos always injured? and Why would they want someone with a attitude problem? I mean if they trade KG their going to want people who they can build their team around not players whos always getting in trouble and always getting hurt. I'm not even sure the Twolves would want JO though.

Tinsley is considered a good pg by some people (me not one of them). Jackson would be a scorer on the perimiter which they need. O'neal could be what they rebuild around. He's also 2 years younger than KG.
Good for Carlisle. Im glad that he put him in his place. It is good to remind players every once in a while who is the boss of the team.
Serves him right, I've always disliked Jackson because of his attitude problem. I admit he is a decent player with potential but his attitude just brings everything down.
