...But Nellie's really onto something by naming Stephen Jackson as a team captain.

That's right. Pass the Guinness 'pon the left-hand side, because this is brilliant. Yes, Jackson's run afoul of the law. Yes, he didn't become a household name until he laid out a row of Pistons fans three years ago. But when you get right down to the nitty-gritty, you'll see that there is no better candidate to be a captain of the Golden State Warriors.

This FanPost is a submission from a member of the mighty Golden State of Mind community. While we're all here to throw up that W, these words do not necessarily reflect the views of the GSoM Crew. Still, chances are the preceding post is Unstoppable Baby!

not bad

Written mostly tongue in cheek, but i can't really argue with most of it. The hilarious thing is the pic that's included and the caption.

# 2 is perhaps the stupidest argument ever

What would you do if a car hit you in a strip club parking lot? I have no idea what I would do, and I doubt you've got any idea, either.

That's what separates Jackson from civilians like us. He was ready for that. And if he's got a plan for what to do after being hit with a car outside of a strip joint, he can keep things level when the Warriors are on the wrong side of a 10-2 run.

Right, the other team goes rips off 10 straight and the guys look to Jackson to get the the opposing center in a figure-four leg lock or hurl a chair into the stands.

I think you have to make Jackson a captain (reasoning) but not because he brings a new meaning to the word "resourceful". That's an awesome quote.
