Martial Saint on Black Eight Warriors: Defeating the Mavericks feels like winning the championship Old Nelson let us be ourselves

Live Bar December 17, 2019 Recently, former NBA player "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson talked about the Black Eight Warriors in the dream-chasing podcast show.

Jackson said: "We care about each other, I've known Harrington for a long time, I've known him since he was 18, I've known BD [Davis] since I was 16, Jason Richardson I've known for a while, these are people I know and we all need to get together to prove ourselves," Jackson said. At the Pacers, for the second time in my career, I was in trouble, they wanted to get me away and they had enough. Harrington didn't want to go, he had just arrived in Indiana, where he bought a house, but the only way the deal could work was to include him... We care about each other and our coaches let us be ourselves. The city embraced us and every night we were all with the people here. This Warriors lost for too long, and then we beat the No. 1 seed mavericks in the playoffs, and it felt like winning a championship, and the whole Bay Area was like winning a championship, and that changed everything. ”

"It was a great time, and old Nelson let us be ourselves and tell you a story. I hadn't been captain before, and at the start of the season Nelson Sr. asked Davis and I to play sandpot with him, and he poured us down with two bottles of whiskey, and he didn't talk about basketball the whole time. When he was about to leave, Davis and I were about to fall off the bar and he said, 'By the way, I called you here to make you captain.' Then he was gone, and we sat there thinking about how we were going to get home today. He is the best man and he allows us to be ourselves. ”

In the first round of the 2006-07 playoffs, the eighth-place Warriors of the West defeated the First Mavericks of the West (now the Lone Ranger) 4-2, creating the Black Eight Miracle. At that time, the Warriors had "bearded" Davis, Harrington, Barnes, Ellis, Bidlins and Jason Richardson, and the coach was Nelson Sr.
