Bobby Jackson was fine all day long. He talked to former teammates, coaches, friends and family, and managed to not get emotional. But when he stood at the Arco Arena podium to formally announce his retirement in front of so many familiar faces, he couldn't hold back. Jackson's goodbye became a tearful one as he discussed his late mother, Sarah, who died of cancer in 2003, and reminisced about his 12-year career. Jackson will work in varied capacities with the organization in a posi...

Bobby Jackson to announce retirement

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:00:00 -0500

If Bobby Jackson picks his wardrobe appropriately today, he'll stand at the Arco Arena podium and formally announce his retirement in a three-piece suit and sneakers. He's leaving behind a 12-year playing career and joining the Kings in a varied capacity that often will involve business attire, but the player in him is far from gone just yet. And if the moment is truly destined to capture the spirit of one of the Kings' most popular players of all time, it will be the pair of Ni...

Sam Amick Q & A with Bobby Jackson Two exceptional pros get together and discuss Bobby's decision to retire.

Another has-been deciding between Boston & Phoenix

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 09:14:40 -0500

First it was Grant Hill... then it was Dan Dickau...

Now, Bobby Jackson is reportedly deciding between Phoenix and Boston for his one last NBA fling (Via CelticsBlog).

Depending on which source you read, Jackson has been mentioned to be headed to the Celtics or the Suns. Whichever route he takes, he will probably have to earn a job with a non-guaranteed contract. He will have to prove he still has flashes of brilliance.

Here's hoping he has some spring left in his step, another season in him and that he is properly honored by the Kings when he retires.

Might as well just get the "Bobby Jackson doesn't care about winning" post together now for when he inevitably chooses Phoenix like everyone else. People say we're old here in Boston... but Phoenix is like an NBA graveyard right now.

In other news, the first couple of power rankings are out. Predictably, the Lakers are #1 in the Sporting News and ESPN polls... and I'm not surprised at both listing the Celtics at #3 since there are questions about KG's knee. But ESPN ranks the Magic #2... while Sporting News puts Orlando at #8. 8?? Part of this is the complete BS that generally surrounds power rankings... but I still find that surprising.

Dreadlocked Man of Mystery: Jermareo Davidson

In the wake of that workout video from Natomas the Kings dropped online last night, two major questions sprung up: What is Bobby Jackson doing there? Who is that tall lanky dude with dreadlocks? Jackson is there to keep in shape while waiting for a contract offer from one of the contenders out there. He happens to be a better option to run the point during a scrimmage than, say, Randy Brown. (If that joke escapes you, former assistant coach Brown had epic shooting contests with Kin...
