You will never consider Stephen Jackson as someone who watches his words. The NBA vet has been out-spoken about league rules, politics and more. Add this new sound byte to his long list of quotables.
While on the IAMRAPPAPORT podcast, Jackson admitted to host Michael Rapport that he played many an NBA game high as a kite.
“I can’t speak for nobody else. Me personally, I’ve done a lot of shit before games sometimes and still was able to go out there and be productive. I just gotta be real, you know, it’s been a couple games where I smoked before games and had great games. It’s been some games where I smoked before the game and was on the bench after three minutes sitting on the sideline, ‘please calm down, this high has to calm down,’ I done shot three shots that went over the backboard, like, I’m going to be honest, like ahh, I gotta calm down.”
Jackson, who is a player for Ice Cube’s new 3-on-3 basketball league also shared a funny story with former teammate Baron Davis.
Captain Jack, you are the man.
