Stephen Jackson: "I Think I'm As Good As Kobe"

[artificial]

I love the attitude.

But talking about how he's a mature grown man, and acts like such?

[Interminator]

I believe him he could win a ring with some good teammates

Jackson already won a ring with San Antonio.

I love how people defend SJax.. a player who plays no defense, all offense. Sure he can shoot the ball, but there is a reason why he's been bounced around and teams won't give him the contract he wants.

Confident? Sure. Ask Kobe if he thinks he is better than MJ, guaranteed he think he is, but I don't think he will be stupid enough to say it publicly. If SJax wants to show he is better or just as good.. just STFU and play and show people he is better... talk means sh!t if you can't back it up..

Ask Kobe if he thinks he is better than MJ, guaranteed he think he is

I'm not sure. 25 year-old Kobe may have thought that, though. Today's version, nope. As for Stephen Jackson, he should focus more on winning some more games first. I'm not a big fan of people running their mouths about their individual abilities in a TEAM sport.

A boxer saying 'Im da best, gonna kick his a*s' is at least measurable and thus has a meaning. But in fact noone cares in the real world how good SJax is individually. Fans care about wins not babbling. SJax is only as good as far his success takes him.

[MaxFly]

Yeah. The only question being: Which sport?

Anything other than basketball and I'll entertain the thought.

Table tennis.

SJax has always felt the need to hype himself. If no one is hyping you then take a clue and do not hype yourself.

[crisoner]

Nothing wrong with him saying this. May not be true but dude has every right to aspire to be greater then he is.

[EricForman]

u guys are taking those words too literally

you KNOW what he really meant is "i feel like i can play with anyone and match up with anyone on any night, i dont have to be scared of kobe cause im confident and i feel i can match up with him"

thats the idea of what hes talking about. you can disagree, but posting all these pics claiming hes stupid is just wrong.

most ball players think that way. you think an above average player, like say Bibby, would face Chris Paul and think "oh no, Chris PAul is a level better than me, I really can't compete"? You think when Oakley was playing Malone he was thinking "damn, Malone is a perennial all star and a franchise player, I'm not. I can only hope to not be beat tonight"?

[TheGreatDeraj]

I'd do the same thing. No way would I ever say another man is better than me at something. I'd say I respect him, but we'll see who is better on the court next season.

[White Chocolate]

Stevie,

[KB2009Champ]

Agreed - all players should feel like they are the best.

What I dont get is the need for him to talk about his manhood and him being a grown man. Really SJax, a grown man?

I think he's on his period. Really.

He acts the way my gf does when its that time of the month - mad at the world.

Dude is mad at the organization, his teamates, his coach, refs and kobe. Who is next? lmao.

[DavisWarriorsFan]

LOL Stephen is out of his mind. Trade him already!

[Juges8932]

Hahahaha

why is it stupid for him to say so publicly? if he feels he's as good as kobe thats how he feels.im sure whoever did the article is the one who brought kobe's name up, i like jax confidence.
