God's Point wrote:Yes precisely because you like Artest and Jackson. Yes, we need a guy that will shoot a 9 mm in the air if someone gives one our players a hard foul! That is precisely what we need. Who cares about his criminal record and his attitude. As long as we get that 40% shooter on our team to protect TJ Ford when he gets fouled accidentally, the Raptors will be a better team. And if someone ever throws a beer on Sam Mitchell, it is good to know that Jackson will take one for the team and jump in the crowd and kick the **** out of someone. A 30-game suspension will drastically make us better.
The guy averages 20 ppg off of 17 shots. Even worse, he is a big douche. I can't believe teenagers look up to this guy.

I guess that's why they made him the leader of their team.
