Former NBA champion and head coach of the BIG3 League team, the DMV Trilogy, Stephen Jackson did not hold back while blasting his team after their first loss of the season. After a 46-50 loss to the Houston Rig Hands, a video surfaced on the internet showing Jackson yelling at his players for their poor performance. He said:
"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."
"One of you n****s is gonna get burned f***ing with me," he continued. "Google me, b***h. I will burn one of you hoes. "
Jackson's heated response has since gone viral on social media. The former NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs is more popularly known for his work as a host on the "All The Smoke" podcast with Matt Barnes.
Jackson also had an impressive NBA career. Having spent 14 years in the league, the forward averaged 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for his career. Although he bounced around many teams, he established himself as a core player with the Indiana Pacers and the Spurs for being a reliable scorer off the bench.
Since retirement, the 47-year-old has taken to coaching in the BIG3 League, founded by legendary hip hop artist Ice Cube and entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz.
Jackson also had a brief stint as a player in the BIG3, starring for the Killer 3s. But after the 2021 season, he switched to a coaching role and joined the DMV Trilogy, guiding them to back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022.
Dwight Howard And Lance Stephenson Engage In A Brawl At BIG3 Game
Former NBA champion Dwight Howard recently made his debut for the LA Riot at the BIG3 League. In a game against the Miami 305, Howard was set to establish himself as the dominant force he was known to be in the NBA during his prime.
Unfortunately, the 305 had other plans. Featuring the duo of Lance Stephenson and Michael Beasley, Miami ran with a 50-44 win. Beasley even gave Howard a "Welcome to the League" moment by taunting him all game.
Beasley's challenge was simply a gesture that has become particularly commonplace for the former NBA player.
While the situation simply appeared to be a simple instance of aggressive basketball, matters hit a flashpoint when Howard and Stephenson got into a bit of a melee.
Howard could be seen grabbing Stephenson and tossing him before officials and players intervened. The latter eventually pushed the LA big man to the ground while punches were being thrown.
While there is no official statement on what the next course of action is regarding this matter, it is safe to say that the BIG3 League remains an attractive source of entertainment for basketball fans.
