DALLAS – Former Spurs guard Stephen Jackson is hopeful games like the one he had Sunday in Ice Cube’s Big3 League will help him get back into the NBA.
The 39-year-old Jackson, who helped the Spurs win an NBA championship in 2003, scored a game-high 23 points in the Killer 3s’ 50-40 win over the Ball Hogs at American Airlines Center.
“I’ve been working to go back to the NBA, so this (league) is a blessing for me,” Jackson said. “I want to play basketball as long as I can. I feel like there are guys in the NBA who can’t guard me.
