Stephen Jackson still thinks he owns Dirk Nowitzki

On June 3rd, Stephen Jackson was on ESPN’s The Jump and was asked about getting under a player’s skin. Jackson, without blinking, started reminiscing about the first round of the 2007 NBA Playoffs where his #8 Golden State Warriors beat the #1 Dallas Mavericks.

Stephen Jackson: “We as players, we can smell the blood, we can see when you weak. And if you’re one of their best players and you can’t take that? Im’a light you up…For example, [Dirk Nowitzki] is one of the best ever, but Game 1 we knew we had him.
