After recurring disagreements with the team about his diminishing role, the San Antonio Spurs released forward Stephen Jackson on the cusp of the playoffs, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Spurs had threatened the release for several days, but Jackson was still surprised that coach Gregg Popovich carried through with it on Friday, sources said.

Jackson, 34, isn't eligible to be included on a playoff roster if he's claimed off waivers or becomes a free agent after 48 hours.

Only an idiot would complain about his playing time on a playoffs bound team that has a great shot at winning another championship! Besides, how many would complain if they're employer wanted to pay them millions of dollars to sit on their butt? I think all of that tattoo ink has eroded what little gray matter he had to begin with. Get a clue.
