Stephen Jackson on LeBron James signing with Sixers: I was one of those guys that thought he would go somewhere he was familiar to, even go to Cleveland. I thought for me that made the most sense because all the talk you hear about the GOATs and him comparing him to Jordan and Kobe, for me, if he was thinking about it, which he probably never did, but Cleveland was the only thing that made sense for me to keep him in that conversation, because you go back home, you bring another championship there with the team they have there, I think that's bigger than winning the championship with any other team that's already built to win the championship. You’re the best player in the league as you say. So going to a team that's already championship ready, that's not what I would look at as the best player in the league challenging himself. You know what I'm saying? He's done it before and he has the right to make his own decision, just like I have the right to my opinion. I don't think that was a best-player-in-the-league move of what a guy that I respect as being the best player in the league would do.
