Stephen Jackson made some statements over the weekend that apparently got the Warriors' attention. On Monday, they issued a statement in response to Jackson's statements.Jackson made it clear on Friday he doesn't want to be a Warrior anymore. But less than 10 months ago, as he was personally negotiating a contract extension with team president Robert Rowell, Jackson talked of wanting to be a "Warrior for life."
Jackson wound up securing a three-year, $27 million extension last November. The Warriors' statement from general Larry Riley follows:
"Stephen Jackson has been a true professional since arriving here three seasons ago, and our expectations of him have not changed despite his recent comments. He's been one of our most consistent and productive players during that time. We expect that same display of professionalism as we begin to prepare for training camp and the start of the upcoming regular season.
"As far as his remarks on playing for a championship ... that's not the first time we've heard it because that's the goal that he sets up for himself and his teammates every season. That's the type of confidence that he exudes as a player and the reason that he has endeared himself to our fans. That's who Stephen Jackson is.
"We have always understood his desire to contend with the NBA's best; that's an aspiration that is shared by our entire organization. We will continue in our quest to achieve that goal, and to be aggressive in pursuit of those results."
