He’s got a lot of something

So.

Stephen Jackson is unhappy and wants to be traded.

The Golden State Warriors sharpshooter says the team has been going backward ever since its 2007 playoff run. In that, he is right. So why, one might ask, did Jackson sign a contract extension through 2013 a year and a half after that playoff appearance, when the Warriors’ direction already was evident?

"Who's going to turn down that money?” Jackson said. “I'm not stupid. I didn't go to college, but I have a lot of common sense."

This is the same Stephen Jackson who in the past five years, according to a generally favorable Wikipedia bio, “has been charged with felony criminal recklessness and a number of misdemeanors, including assault, disorderly conduct, and two counts of battery.”

Yes, much common sense.
