What They're Saying...

Former teammate Tim Duncan once labeled Jackson as the "ultimate teammate" during his days in San Antonio.

ESPN analyst and sportswriter Michael Smith finds Jackson to be "articulate, charming, and thoughtful."

Marcus Thompson of the Contra Costa Times said: "He takes the younger players under his wing, taking them shopping, dispensing advice, lending an ear. What's more, he does the little things that are unbecoming of a millionaire thug. He looks people in the eye when they talk to him, as if he cares about what they're saying. He frequently doles out handshakes, half-hugs and, to women, pecks on the cheek. He returns phone calls. He mends fences, lifts spirits, makes others feel special."

Pacers executive Donnie Walsh, who was principally responsible for the Golden State trade, stated "I love Jack to death. He's emotional and he's going to get technicals. But that's just part of the package. He's a great team guy."
