When the San Antonio Spurs announced that day had parted ways with G/F Stephen Jackson it caught many by surprise considering that the divorce occurred days before the playoffs are to begin.  Recently Jackson spoke about the the circumstances that led to the disagreement between he and head coach Gregg Popvich and his eventual release.
“We had a disagreement. He wanted me to agree to players being better than me, and I didn’t agree. I’ve been in the NBA a long time, so it’s just something I didn’t agree with and something I have no control over.
“He’s the coach. He controls who plays, and he controls the team, which I do respect. At the same time, I know what I can do and what I been doing my whole career, and I’m far from ready to hang it up.
“So, I can’t let one person tell me where I’m at 35-years-old. To me, it just didn’t make no sense.”
