Stephen Jackson Great Quotations

We've got to get to the point when we get a big lead, we feel confident and finish them off. We're not going to be a great team until we can do that.

He's a big kid, and he is so misunderstood. He's not a wild guy at all. He's not a thug. He's not some ignorant guy. He's a great person.

Mike has always been a great player. He's getting a chance now to really show the league that he can carry a team and hit big shots.

This team has too many great guys and good professionals to go through so much negativity. As my friend, I would still love for him to be here, but I don't miss the negativity. Being around a positive environment, everybody plays better and everybody works better.

It's going to be tough. They're one of the hottest teams in the league right now. Vince (Carter) is playing tremendous, and so is Richard Jefferson, so we got to play great team defense, great man-on-man defense.

Considering everything we are going through right now, we needed this game. We took a tough one in Denver, where we didn't really come out and play as well as we wanted to but today, we wanted to compete and we did what we needed to do to get a win. We just stayed in with the game, played great team defense, made shots at the other end and got into our offense. We were able to get the shots we wanted.

The best way I can say it is we've played well, we've moved the ball and played great defense the last two games so we are showing signs that we are getting the chemistry. We can't put the blame on Ron. We can't say because Ron's not here, everything's flowing better. All we can say is we're starting to figure each other out, we're starting to play well together and we're starting to play like the team we know we can be.

I played great 'D.' It was a tough 3 off the glass. There's nothing you can do about it. It was just one of those shots that was just meant to be. I didn't want to foul him. I wanted him to take a tough shot.

He's a nice-dressed guy. He thinks he's the sexiest man on earth, so he had a lot to do with it. He did a great job with it. The whole team is satisfied with the look.

He's not as good of a defender as Ron, but he's an All-Star. I'll welcome any All-Star to our team. He's a great player.
