Stephen Jackson wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to return to the NBA. In fact, he will be making his NBA comeback at the age of 38 next season.

Jackson posted an Instagram video Thursday, telling anyone who would listen that he is medically cleared to play, and will be making his return to a team in 2016-17.

Jackson hasn't been shy about voicing his desire to return to the NBA, and previously mentioning that he wants to play for the Golden State Warriors again.

Jackson has played 14 seasons in the NBA, suiting up for eight teams. He won a championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2003. His career averages are 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.
