Stephen Jackson retires from the NBA after 14 seasons

Former Golden State Warriors forward Stephen Jackson announces his retirement from the NBA after 14 seasons in the league.

Former Golden State Warriors forward Stephen Jackson has retired from the NBA after 14 seasons in the league.

The 37-year-old was drafted by the Phoenix Suns in 1997, although he was released by the club and did not start a game in the NBA until 2000 when he joined the New Jersey Nets.

Jackson won the NBA Championship with the San Antonio Spurs in the 2002-3 season, but then moved around the NBA to the Atlanta Hawks, the Indiana Pacers, the Warriors, the Charlotte Bobcats, Milwaukee Bucks and finally with the LA Clippers in the 2013-14 season.

The veteran spent the 2014-15 season out of the game and as a result, has decided to end his career after not attracting a new club for the upcoming campaign.

Jackson averaged 15.1 points per game in his 14-year career.
