船長接受雜誌訪問談及被馬刺釋出一事。簡單來說，船長不想當薪水小偷，想上場更多時間為球隊貢獻，並且不同意某些球員比他優秀，所以引發了與 Pop 的爭執。他也談到其實這些爭執早發生在明星賽前、交易大限之前，所以他對於馬刺沒有及早放棄他略有微詞。他認為若是早點將他釋出，他現在應該正在幫助另外一支球隊。他認為他總是能讓球隊變得更好--他在過去一加入勇士及山貓時，分別幫助這兩支球隊打進久違及第一次季後賽。詳細內容請見原文： http://s2smagazine.com/70298/stephen-jackson-talks-spurs-release/ While some face termination for not working hard enough, former Spurs forward Stephen Jackson said he was dismissed from the team for wanting to give more. “We had a disagreement,” Stephen told Sister 2 Sister about his most recent coach Gregg Popovich. “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.” So, instead of heading to the playoffs, where he’s helped teams like Golden State and Charlotte compete before, Stephen and his wife Renata are enjoying an early vacation. However, the NBA veteran said if the Spurs’ management had either granted him more playing time or released him from his contract earlier, he may have been able to help another team advance to the playoffs. “It was talked about before the all-star break, before the trade deadline… about me not wanting to be here and me going to other teams, but they wouldn’t do it then,” Stephen explained. “If they would have done it then, I would be on another team right now.” While he’s not sure what team he’ll end up on, Stephen is confident that he’ll have a lot to offer as he has in the past. “I went to Golden State and helped them get to the playoffs my first year there, and they haven’t been to the playoffs in 13 years. I played in Charlotte…and I got them to the playoffs. So, every team I go to, I make them better,” said Stephen, who considers it a blessing just to be in the NBA…and on the court. “I don’t want to be a guy who’s just sitting on the bench stealing money,” he said. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 68.55.73.69
