The duo, whose relationship is unclear, is accused of trying to extort a six-figure payment from Jackson in return for them not disseminating/selling the explicit photos to the “vultures of the media.”

According to an FBI affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun, Jackson sent the photos to the stripper six years when he was working as an announcer for the Nets. One of Jackson’s business associates said he spoke with the coach on the morning of June 28 and confirmed that he had been working with the FBI to handle the issue and that both his family and the Warriors front-office were aware of the situation.

The FBI probe began in April, a few weeks after Jackson was approached by Marcus Shaw, the co-conspirator, in a Memphis hotel when Jackson’s Warriors were playing the Grizzlies:

The man showed the NBA coach a “folder containing some of the compromising photos” and a CD that he said contained “recordings of voice mail messages” that Jackson “left for Adams during their affair.”

According to the report, Jackson, who has been married for 22 years and has four children, asked the man what he wanted for the pictures and the disc. The man said he wanted “to be made whole” and said that he needed the money “to fix his teeth and get his car out of an impound lot.”

After refusing Shaw’s request to accompany him to the lot (or anywhere else), Jackson eventually gave Shaw $5000 in cash “in exchange for the folder with the photographs and the CD.” Jackson, seen at left, subsequently destroyed the incriminating material.

Jackson released a statement to the public on Thursday, which was obtained by NBCSports.com, confirming the situation and said that paying a conspirator is a bad idea:

In retrospect, I understand that this was a terrible lapse in judgment and a course of action I would not recommend to anyone.

I've never understood how anyone, Charlie Ward, H20, David Robinson, AC Green, etc can live out credibly as a Christian in the NBA lifestyle...sick money, hotels, on the road all the time, women everywhere, dancing hos at every game...

I mean, I know it's got to be possible, but it's got to be crazy difficult.

I wonder how AC Green is doing?

Dude was the toughest in the NBA. He fought off the urge! That ain't easy!

Warrior ownership must be a bit upset with him. They hired him not just because he is a good coach (he is not, he was never a coach before) but the his prospects as a coach and to be the NEW FACE OF THE FRANCHISE! New ownership is trying to reboot the brand and loved his "family values" and positive message.

It helps sell tickets.

He is failing.

LOL!
