Stephen Jackson Playing Quotations

He's getting healthy, that's what it is. His attitude has always been great, he's always been a leader. He's getting back to his All-Star caliber game. Everybody knew when he got healthy he'd be playing like this. We're just happy to have him back.

Once he starts playing basketball and continues to play how he's been playing, a lot of the negativity will soon blow away.

It's amazing. We're out there playing basketball, playing hard on both ends and sometimes games get real physical. It's a part of the game. We could have played a lot better. It's definitely hard for us to win when me and Jermaine are in foul trouble.

He's not here. We're not worrying about where he's going ... We've got a job to do. I think we're worrying about these 12, 15 guys coming out and playing together trying to gain some kind of relationship on and off the court so we can get this thing done the right way.
