Stephen Jackson Gets Ejected After 2 Quick Techs Against Lakers
With less than four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, San Antonio Spurs bad boy Stephen Jackson was hit with two technical fouls and ejected.
The technical fouls were his fifth and sixth of the season. They also marked the 121st of his career.
In typical Stephen Jackson fashion, the ejection came after he posted a monstrous fourth quarter.
"Stephen Jackson drains his third three of the fourth quarter to give the Spurs a 101-85 lead! 7:06 to play. j.mp/IztHjE #GoSpursGo

Minutes later, Jackson missed a shot out of the post after Kobe Bryant knocked it loose.
S-Jax responded in anger, instantly letting the officials know about his theory that he was fouled. Likely due to his reputation, Jackson was instantly whistled and hit with a technical foul.
Moments later, Kobe hit a three-pointer right in Jackson's face. Stak5 responded by continuing his complaints with the referees.
This led to his second technical and an ejection.
"Kobe follows with a 3-pointer to cut it to 105-99 ... and Stephen Jackson gets another technical and is ejected with 3:32 left.

The response is simple: only Stephen Jackson.
