Some view Stephen Jackson as one of the bad boy’s of the NBA. Fueled by off and on-court incidents, he’s sometimes labeled as a thug. Anyone who’s watched him play or gotten to know him though, is sure to rewrite that label as a player with undeniable talent and heart who’s got his teammates’ backs. — Adam Fleischer
