Jackson trade.jpg
TRACEY: Im here with Bobcats star shooting guard Stephen Jackson, Stephen we are here at the last day of the preseason how do you think it went for you guys?
JACKSON: Great, we only went 4-4 but this is a new roster and i feel like all the players got a really good feel with each other.
TRACEY: The season opener against Dallas how do you think you will go.
JACKSON: We will win. We've beaten this team before we can do it again. We fly to Dallas Saturday night which gives us 3 days in Dallas to prepare which is a lot longer then we usually have. We are confident that if we keep Dirk quite, we can keep the crowd quite and come away with the W.
TRACEY: Now this team made the playoffs last year. How much did that mean to you guys?
JACKSON: Well i went to the finals with the Spurs so i knew what to expect but it was great for players like Gerald and DJ. Being swept was no fun but we know what to expect now, I think we can make some noise in the East. We like the fact that we can go under the radar as people think that the East is already set in stone come playoff time. I think being the dark horse is a great thing i mean you only had to watch the Bucks last season. But we think we have a very high chance of not just making it back their but making some noise. The whole of Charlotte got behind us last year it would be great if that happened again.
TRACEY: Now i think i have asked just about everyone this summer but what do you think about the Heat?
JACKSON: Ill let you know after the game at Boston.
TRACEY: To you personally we have seen you play in Europe, the NBL in Australia and 7 different NBA teams. Are you planning to finish a career with the Bobcats or could we see you in a new jersey sometime soon?
JACKSON: Look, i just a new contract and haven't been here very long but i am getting older i mean ill be 33 when the playoffs start i want to be able to add another championship to my name. I think with some good trades the Bobcats can help me achieve that but i love going new places i want to end my career with my head held high so im not to sure at the moment.
TRACEY: Thanks for your time Stephen
JACKSON: Anytime.
