Stephen Jackson’s meltdown goes viral

Widely recognized from his San Antonio Spurs days and All The Smoke podcast, Jackson showed that his competitive fire still burns hot.

“All gun sh*t, when somebody want to fight, you want somebody to grab. Same b***h a** n****s be at the hotel, begging me for shit. None of y'all wanna show out in front of these people,” Jackson said.

“One of you n****s is gonna get burned f***ing with me,” he went on, adding, “Google me, b***h. I will burn one of you h**s.”

A look at Stephen Jackson's stellar NBA run

Jackson carved out a successful 14-year NBA career, averaging 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. He was a dependable scorer with Indiana and San Antonio.

His post-retirement path remains stellar, first as a BIG3 player with the Killer 3s in 2021, then as the coach of DMV Trilogy, leading them to titles in 2021 and 2022.

Now, at age 47, he’s channelling that same intensity into coaching. But last night’s outburst might be a sign he’s taking his role, and the pressure personally.
