Stephen Jackson put a wrap on his beef with Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins and his brother Nick, after the former NBA player defended Jimmy Butler and took veiled shots at the Wiggins brothers for taking Butler's trade request lightly.
The NBA journeyman went live on Instagram and said he won't apologize to Wiggins after a social media back-and-forth on Wednesday that questioned Wiggins' “energy” and “heart.”
“I ain't apologizing,” said Stephen Jackson, according to Diamond Leung of The Athletic. “That's how I feel… shit. Oh well. Just like he had a right to respond. But his response was weak.”
Jackson, who has appeared on TV ever since he retired from the NBA, noted his desire to have his own show one day, extending an offer for Wiggins to come on, but not before taking another veiled shot at the Timberwolves wing.
“If he had energy and heart like me, that kid would be a top-10 player,” said Jackson.
If that two-hit combo wasn't enough, Jackson would put the FATALITY on this beef with one last shot, this time to his defense.
“He damn sure don't do that,” he said. “I'm just trying to keep it fair.”
Seems like Stack has ammunition for days when it comes to Andrew Wiggins and his character, but the former NBA champion will likely have to tone it down real soon before going on TV networks again.
