Bobby will always be my favorite king

I always loved how hard he played. He always excited the crowd and I’m sad to see him retire. He will always be a Sacramento King in my eyes.

Coach Jackson

If for no other reason than to watch B-Jax and Elie go one-on-one after practice.

I'd be all for it, except:

You can’t coach someone on how to have the heart of a lion.

Thanks for all of the balls-out hustle, Bobby. It was always a treat to see.

Farewell Bobby

In short, he was a f#cking badass.

What the hell is Brett Favre doing here?

Even Scot Pollard?

What's the past tense for "scam"? Is it "scrumped"?

Boston made a mistake not signing B-Jax

But then again he might have been offered something and just decided to retire inside.

WE LOVE YOU BOBBY.

I hope there is a tribute for him at Arco.

Opening night or something.. I wish he could have ended his career on a higher note, but hopefully he’ll get his ring as a coach.

Good luck in retirement Bobby

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Damn toughest 6'1" Power Forward / Point Guard I have ever seen

It was our pleasure to share in the joy that he had when playing.

I thought I had heard he was trying out with the Cavs...

Guess it didn’t work out and that’s a shame because he could certainly help any contender or any team for that matter. Bobby will always be one of my favorite Kings. The dude balled as hard as he could night in and night out no matter the circumstances. Thanks for all the memories B-Jax!

In case you folks didn’t see it, Bobby and I talked at length about putting the past behind him and starting anew today – http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/archives/2009/10/bobby-jackson-t.html.

Will miss the man

My favorite basketball player of all time. Great human being. I am glad he is staying with the organization.

The best

He was always a class act and one of the coolest cats I ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Some people just “get it”. His play was inspiring and full of fire and I will miss seeing him straight burn people! Thanks B-Jax!

I was uncool before it was cool
