... team does well right now. And it’s hurting every player on the team. Jackson’s losing motivation from anger. Morrow’s shooting is being wasted. Ellis is fostering bad habits. Curry is learning bad habits. Maggette’s wasting time he could be contributing. Seriously, look at this. They have Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Anthony Morrow, Curry, Biedrins, Turiaf, Maggette, and Randolph! This team should be good! So if it’s not, then why not? Answer?

... career. ”No one trusts Don Nelson,” Stevens said. “When Nelson was in Milwaukee, Wayne Embry trusted him and brought him in, and he betrayed Embry. In Dallas, Mark Cuban took damn good care of him and his son [Donnie Nelson Jr.], and he betrayed Cuban. In Golden State, Chris Mullin hired him and trusted him and Nelson backstabbed him by reaching out to president Robert Rowell and blaming Mullin for everything that was going wrong with the Warriors.”

... Warriors is only making him more antsy. Since their upset of the Mavericks in the playoffs, the Warriors have headed in a different direction with their roster, which has frustrated Jackson a lot. “Chris Mullin wanted to re-sign Baron Davis, but Nelson nipped that in the bud,” Stevens said. “Then he helped put together the trade that got rid of Jason Richardson. Then the Warriors lost Matt Barnes. Nelson loses the trust of all his players.” (Quotes courtesy of ESPN) ...

... coached in the NBA Finals, let alone won a championship. Yet he keeps getting jobs despite being 69 years old.” - Mark Stevens We know that Jackson absolutely cannot share his true feelings about Nelson unless he wants to help Stern establish direct deposit from Captain Jack to NBA’ bank account. His agent however doesn’t think twice about sharing his real feelings about Don Nelson . We have all questioned some of Nelson’s decision ( Acie Law is not a Small Forward Don) but in the ESPN.com interview Stevens systemically destroys Nelson’s character. Not only does Stevens ...
Stephen Jackson's Agent Rips Don Nelson to Shreds
FanHouse —
by Tom Ziller Filed under: WarriorsAngry agents ripping team execs and coaches isn't a new phenomenon, but Mark Stevens -- the rep for disgruntled Warrior Stephen Jackson -- might have painted a masterpiece in ripping Golden State coach Don Nelson in a discussion with ESPN.com's Chris Broussard. Stevens dredged up just about every demon in Nelson's basketball past, reaching back to Nellie's Bucks tenure in 1970s. The whole tirade -- which is definitely worth a full read -- comes from what Stevens called "disgust with the ...

... called him the “good Stephen Jackson” in the postgame wrap. So there you have it. With irony. He’s shopping his wares, while actually doing what the fans would like to see. Filling the passing lanes. Creating turnovers. Sharing the ball. And. Uhm. Good. Your lawyer was feeling a bit spokespersonish earlier today. But riddle me this Sorta Cap’n Jack: why is this your brand of leadership when the T-Wolves are the opposition? Show us this against the Suns. Or the Lakes. Even the Clips? Yeah. I said it. ...

Prediction: Bucks 106 – Warriors 90
Remember the Knicks game last Saturday? I’m sure the Bucks do and I’m sure they’re looking to replicate that effort. The Warriors are an absolute mess. They have players begging to be traded, players fighting with coaches, agents blasting the organization and it’s all affecting their play ...

... as captain, things have seemed to quiet down in Golden State. Jackson has been playing without incident and has put up numbers in line with his career averages. Jackson even had a 15 assist night just a few days ago. Golden State is said to have been in talks with up to 10 teams with interest in Jackson and has been attempting to weigh offers and find a reasonable trade. It seemed as if an amiable end is possible after this falling out. Then Jackson’s agent, Mark Stevens, decided to publicly insult Coach Don Nelson in an obvious effort to speed up the process of getting his ...

The Knicks might be a horrible team right now, but they're not dysfunctional; not yet.The Knicks seem to like coach Mike D'Antoni, even if they're incapable or unwilling to play for him. Everyone on the Warriors wants to kill their coach, and each other. Mostly just their coach, though.
