Still Captain Jack

By mceezy

He may not be a Warrior anymore, and he may have left on bad terms, but I still have love for Stephen Jackson. The guy wears his emotions on his sleeve, and I can’t fault him for that – on the basketball court at least. During the decisive possession of last night’s Game 2, Jack drove into the lane and got slapped in the face by Matt Barnes, causing his headband to blind him in one eye. Instead of fixing it, Jack left the headband covering his face to show officials that a foul should’ve been called. I’ve done that before, so it’s always reassuring to see a pro baller do the same.

  Given the right environment people knew how well Jackson could play once his head was screwed on right.

  If you’re a Pittsburgh Pirates’ fan , how must you feel right about now ? My god the Brewers wailed on their a_s with that 20-0 win yesterday. And to think only a little over 13,000 showed up at Miller Park , Milwaukee to witness it all .
