Stephen Jesse Jackson (born April 5, 1978) is an American former professional
Early life
Jackson was born in
Jackson led Lincoln High School to a state championship in his junior year.[5] However, facing academic "ineligibility" at Lincoln, he transferred to Oak Hill Academy (Virginia),[6] where he earned All-American honors in 1996. He was the leading scorer in the 1996 McDonald's All-American Boys Game, on a team that included Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O'Neal and Tim Thomas.[7]
Following a commitment to join the University of Arizona, Jackson was presumed to be academically ineligible due to his low SAT and ACT test scores.[6][8][9] He instead attended Butler County Community College of El Dorado, Kansas for one semester, but did not play basketball there.[10] Prior to the 1997 NBA draft, Jackson participated in several pickup games with the Phoenix Suns after family friend and fellow Arizona native Virginia Bibby (mother of NBA player Mike Bibby) brought him to the Suns arena during tryouts.[11] Jackson's strong play, and particularly his fearlessness against the Suns' Cedric Ceballos, is largely what led to team president Danny Ainge drafting him months later.[12]
Professional career
CBA and foreign leagues (1997–2000)
Jackson was selected 42nd overall in the 1997 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns, yet did not play as he was waived by the team on October 30. Following this development, Jackson then saw action in six games with the La Crosse Bobcats over two on-and-off seasons in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), in which he averaged 2.7 points in 12.7 minutes per game. Additionally, Jackson played four games in 1998 with the Sydney Kings in Australia's National Basketball League.[13][14] Continuing his basketball journey, Jackson played professionally in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.[15] Throughout the spring and summer of 2000, Jackson played in those Latin American countries, with the Dominican Republic teams San Carlos and Pueblo Nuevo and Venezuelan Marinos.[16] In the 1999 season in Venezuela, Jackson played 48 games and averaged 22.8 points (third in the league), 3.9 assists and 3 steals per game, shooting 42.6% from three (second in the league).[17]
New Jersey Nets (2000–2001)
Jackson did not play an NBA game until the
San Antonio Spurs (2001–2003)
Before the
Atlanta Hawks (2003–2004)
In 2003, Jackson became a free agent during the offseason and expected to parlay his success with the Spurs into a long-term contract. After rejecting an initial offer by the Spurs, he and his agent were criticized by sports media for miscalculating the market. Eventually, Jackson agreed to a 2-year contract with the Atlanta Hawks.[21] Registering his best professional season to date, Jackson established season averages of 18.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in 80 total games (78 starts). On March 12, against the Washington Wizards, Jackson scored a career-best 42 points. In the 29 games following the All-Star Break, Jackson averaged 24.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.2 steals per game. During this stretch, he was the NBA's 6th leading scorer.[22]
Following the
Indiana Pacers (2004–2007)
During his first season as a member of the Indiana Pacers in the 2004–05 NBA season, Jackson tallied averages of 18.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
On November 19, 2004, during
Indiana's once promising post-season possibilities were marred by the suspension of starting small forward
In the 2005–06 NBA season, Jackson appeared in 81 games for the Pacers, averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. A notable exhibition of Jackson's scoring ability came during a 31-point performance in a midseason victory over the Sacramento Kings, in which he made 3-pointers on four consecutive possessions. Jackson tied the Kings franchise record for the most 3-pointers in a quarter by an opponent.[26] As the playoff push ensued, he tallied an average of 20.2 points per game in the month of April.[27]
On October 6, 2006, Jackson and three other Pacers players had an argument with several patrons at Club Rio, a strip club in Indianapolis. Jackson was punched by one of the patrons and was hit by a car, rolling onto the hood. His injuries were minor. Jackson, who was on probation in Michigan after pleading no contest to misdemeanor assault and battery charges there for his part in a brawl, fired several gunshots from a 9-mm pistol, he asserted as an act of self-defense. However, prosecutors later said he fired first.[28] Jackson was charged October 11, 2006, with a felony count of criminal recklessness, and misdemeanor counts of battery and disorderly conduct.[29] He pled guilty to a felony count of criminal recklessness, received one year of probation, and was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service.[30] Because he had no prior felony convictions, he was eligible to receive misdemeanor sentencing despite pleading guilty to the felony.[30] He served a seven-game suspension at the beginning of the 2007–08 NBA season as a Warrior for his legal problems.[31]
Golden State Warriors (2007–2009)
On January 17, 2007, the Pacers dealt Jackson to the Golden State Warriors in a blockbuster eight player trade.[32] Along with Al Harrington, Šarūnas Jasikevičius, and Josh Powell, Jackson was swapped for Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod of the Warriors.[33]
Jackson registered 29 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 steals in his Warriors debut, January 20, 2007 versus the
In the Warriors 4–2 series victory over the
Baron Davis, who suffered a slight hamstring injury in the 1st quarter of Game 6, shares his thoughts regarding Jackson: "I told him (Stephen Jackson) I'll give it all I got and I didn't want to be the hardest worker out there. He had to carry me. He is the leader of this team and if you ask anyone on this team, he is the heart and soul of this team. He is a big-game performer and he knew just how important this game was. He is the only one on our team to have won a championship, so we had to feed off of him."[37]
Jackson finished the series with per-game averages of 22.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 2.0 steals.[38] In the Conference Semifinals, the Warriors were dispatched by a physical Utah Jazz team in 5 games. Jackson struggled due to the defensive tandem of Andrei Kirilenko and Matt Harpring and his offensive output decreased from the previous series.[39]
Prior to the 2007–08 NBA season, Jackson (along with guard Baron Davis and forward Matt Barnes) was named a team captain of the Warriors.[40] Jackson was the recipient of the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Week award (November 26 – December 2), averaging 23.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 steals.[41] Despite winning 48 games, the Warriors missed the playoffs in a Western Conference where all eight playoff teams won at least 50 games (Their 48 wins are the most of a team that did not qualify for playoffs in NBA history).[42]
During the 2008–09 NBA season, Jackson registered three games of at least 30 points and 10 assists in a five-game span – the first NBA player to do so since LeBron James in 2007, and the first member of the Warriors since Tim Hardaway in 1992.[43] He also tallied his first career triple double (30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists) against the Phoenix Suns in the midst of this stretch, on February 4.[44] On November 17, 2008, Jackson signed a three-year contract extension with the Warriors.[45]
Jackson's 2008–09 campaign effectively ended when he decided to determine the root cause of
Charlotte Bobcats (2009–2011)
On November 16, 2009, Jackson was traded to the
In the
Milwaukee Bucks (2011–2012)
On June 23, 2011, after only two seasons with the Charlotte Bobcats, Jackson was traded to the
Jackson's brief stint with Milwaukee would be characterized by dysfunction and underwhelming play. Due to recurring issues with his hamstring throughout the lockout-extended offseason[55] and several publicized clashes with coach Scott Skiles, Jackson's role and playing time diminished.[56] On March 13, 2012, Jackson was traded back to the Golden State Warriors along with Andrew Bogut, in exchange for Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh, and Kwame Brown.[57]
Return to San Antonio (2012–2013)
Without playing a game for the Warriors, Jackson was traded to the Spurs for Richard Jefferson, T. J. Ford and a conditional first-round pick on March 15, 2012.[58] Due to the ascendant performance of rookie forward Kawhi Leonard, Jackson was a second-unit player for the first time in nearly 10 years. A re-adjustment period to San Antonio's structured offensive system caused Jackson's minutes to fluctuate in the regular season and playoffs.[59]
The Spurs capped off an excellent regular season by reaching the Western Conference Playoffs as the highest seed.
On December 9, 2012, Jackson was fined $25,000 for threatening Serge Ibaka via Twitter.[64] "The recent public comments made by Stephen Jackson are absolutely unacceptable, cannot be tolerated, and do not reflect the standards held by the San Antonio Spurs," said Spurs general manager R.C. Buford.[64]
On April 12, 2013, Jackson was waived by the Spurs.[65]
Los Angeles Clippers (2013–2014)
On December 10, 2013, he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers.[66] Jackson struggled with the Clippers. In 9 games, he averaged a career-low 1.7 points per game, while shooting 23.1% from the field and 7.1% from three-point range. On January 7, 2014, he was waived by the Clippers.[67]
Retirement
On July 22, 2015, Jackson announced his retirement.[68] During his 14-year NBA career, Jackson earned more than $68.6 million in salary[69] (excluding his stint with the Clippers in which his contract was not guaranteed).[70][71]

Former coaches Rick Carlisle and Don Nelson have constantly referred to Jackson's high character. During an appearance on the Jim Rome radio show, Nelson alluded to Jackson in a laudatory manner beyond the limited scope of the NBA.[85] Former Pacers executive Donnie Walsh, who was principally responsible for the Golden State trade, stated "I love Jack to death. He's emotional and he's going to get technicals. But that's just part of the package. He's a great team guy."[86]
Personal life
Stemming from the two referenced incidents in 2004 and 2006, Jackson has pled guilty to felony criminal recklessness, and been charged with a number of misdemeanors, including assault, disorderly conduct, and two counts of battery.[87]
On January 4, 2018, Jackson told TMZ, "I smoked my whole career, had a hell of a career. Didn't miss no games," when asked by a reporter if the NBA should remove marijuana from their banned substances list.[88]
On July 7, 2020, Jackson defended Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson for posting an anti-Semitic post on Instagram, which included a quote falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler.[89] After receiving criticism from Naismith Hall of Fame members such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Charles Barkley, Jackson apologized for his comments, saying that he "used the wrong words".[90]
On January 6, 2021, Jackson officially converted to Islam.[91][92] Jackson stated in an interview that "I can honestly say that there is no one who loves Allah more than me."[93] He also stated that "Everything I have today is because I get on my knees and pray five times a day. I wouldn't be able to wake up, breathe, and provide for my child, if I didn't get on my knees and worship Allah. Allah is the one in control, and each and every one of us in creation are reliant on Allah in each and every moment. It is only when we realize this that this inner peace descends upon us. And that's what Islam is about–Salaam–that peace."[93]

Jackson established the Stephen Jackson Academy of Art, Science, and Technology in the summer of 2008 in Port Arthur.[84] New construction for the school was completed in 2009; as of 2012, the academy offers after-school programs for local children and houses a gymnasium for public use. In order to pursue educational accreditation, Jackson plans to expand the academy. According to The Port Arthur News, new construction will likely commence by the end of 2012.[100]
Jackson was a close friend of George Floyd, who drew international attention when he was killed by police in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020.[101] Jackson received media attention for an impassioned speech he gave at a protest rally in Minnesota.[102] In it, he stated, "I'm here because they're not gonna demean the character of George Floyd, my twin."[103] Jackson and Floyd called each other "Twin" due to their similar physical appearance.[103][104]
Jackson described himself as inspired by Malcolm X, who is described as "the biggest reason for the continuation of Islam in the African-American community."[105] Jackson stated, "Every black man is influenced by Malcolm X. When you are growing up and hear the story of Malcolm X, you are influenced by Malcolm X, and by Islam, in some type of way. For me, I am of course influenced by Malcolm X. It is impossible for me not to be...I do not see myself just following him. I want to be greater than Malcolm X. Even when I say that, it might be damn near impossible, because the man was so special. Malcolm X was so special. I strive to be like him or even better than him. And for you to say that he is the most respected American Muslim ever, I strive to be that. I plan to be that."[93]
