Stephen Jackson has been in the news a lot recently because of his activism. Jackson lost his friend and affectionately dubbed “twin” George Floyd to the hands of police a couple of weeks ago.
Jackson is not a person that has the cleanest record though. Probably the greatest fight in NBA history is the Malice in the Palace in which Jackson took part. Jackson went on the Rich Eisen Show and talked about what happened during that chaotic time.
“We get in the locker room, and we sitting there. My legs all scratched up from hopping over the bleachers, Ron sitting there calming down. His first question to me: ‘Do you think we gonna get in trouble?’.”
NBA players can tell stories for days about their experiences in the league and everybody listens when players involved in the Malice at the Palace talk about it. While it is a dark spot on the NBA it is still one of the most talked about events in league history.
