He told me I should take the summer and focus on baseball. He said I was too small and could not compete with kids at this level. Now granted growing over the summer helped me, but instead of hating the coach and crying and draggin the team down I set out to prove him wrong. I worked my asse off all summer and came back the next year and was the leader(and dare I say star) of the team. How did this happen? Because I'm not a big baby like Stephen Jackson. I don't need my coach to tell me how great I'm going to be in order to play hard for him. Guys like Marbury and Jackson and some others are such sissies. They have no idea how much better they could be if they stopped worrying about what someoone is saying to them, and all this periphery nonsense, and just focused on being the best basketball player they can be.

I would like to thank Stephen Jackson for giving me an opportunity to speak about myself though.

and you were holding out for Stephen Jackson why? Hasn't Anthony Randolph been crying out for your self indulgence in the last 497 threads on this forum? Talk about sissies!
