Stephen Jackson on Draymond Green punch: 'You never hit the little homies like that'

By Sean Keane  |  Last updated 10/7/22

Stephen Jackson was the emotional leader of the "We Believe" Golden State Warriors, spending parts of four seasons with the team from 2007-2009. Like Draymond Green, he was a fiery player who regularly appeared among the league leaders in technical fouls. But in punching teammate Jordan Poole, "Stack Jack" says that Green crossed a line.

"Ther's no reason to sucker punch a young fella," said Jackson. "I told Draymond last night, he's gotta fix that situation with Poole. Because he don't benefit from it at all. He gotta be the big bro and go over to the little bro and say, 'Look I spazzed out.'"

Jackson added that it's never OK to hit a teammate, and alluded to the size difference between the 194-pound Poole and listed-at-230-pounds Green.

"You never hit the little homies like that in practice. Or your teammates," Jackson added. "You never do that. I've never done that."
