Nellie Wants To Have Belichick Type Of Relationship With Media

Oct 29, 2009 7:42 PM

Don Nelson has grown tired of dealing with the media, as he believes many of the things he has said or done have been misconstrued by the media.

"No, I don't care much for this anymore," Nelson said, referring to dealing with the media. "I've been beat up so bad by being honest with the press, I'm going to be the (Patriots coach Bill) Belichick of the NBA. I'd rather talk on the radio where people can actually hear my words than get it misconstrued somehow. It looks different in print sometimes when you say something. The way you say it sometimes you can't identify it in print. I'm more careful. Yes, I'm more careful."

Sources: LeBron, Shaq Like Idea Of Stephen Jackson Trade

Oct 29, 2009 11:51 AM

LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal both like the idea of Cleveland acquiring Stephen Jackson, according to sources.

The Cavaliers are reluctant to part with Zydrunas Ilgauskas because they can ill-afford to lose that depth in the frontcourt.

The Warriors, however, have still been strictly receiving trade offers that don't suit their needs.

Jackson Says Drama Is Behind Him

Oct 25, 2009 9:30 AM

Warriors forward Stephen Jackson insists that drama will no longer surround him.

"It's ended for me," Jackson told the Oakland Tribune.

Jackson angled for a trade this offseason, but remains in Golden State.

"And it is what it is," he added.

He was fined $25,000 for asking for a trade and received a two-game suspension, which will cost him another $139,000, for his actions in a preseason game against the Lakers.

"Some guys haven't been calling me Captain Jack lately, but some still do," Jackson said. "I'm a natural leader, and I don't think a title will have anything to do with how I act or people look at me. It's just who I am. I haven't changed."

Kobe-Stephen Jackson Feud Alive And Well

Oct 21, 2009 3:23 PM

The rivalry between Kobe Bryant and Stephen Jackson appears to still be rather heated.

The Lakers and Warriors faced off in a preseason game on Tuesday night.

Jackson lashed out at Bryant after a previous exhibition contest, accusing Kobe of playing dirty. Even though Bryant insisted he didn't read any of Jackson's comments, he attacked the Warriors forward early and with emotion on Tuesday night.

Lakers teammate Ron Artest says any little thing will motivate Bryant.

"He always finds a reason," Artest told the Press-Enterprise. " 'You looked at me the wrong way. Alright I'm giving you 40. You don't want to say my last name. Alright I'm giving you 40.' He's unbelievable."
