Jackson, asked about the Lakers' 4-5 record in Staples Center, took a swipe at the Dallas Mavericks and their owner, Mark Cuban.
"Some ballclubs, it's easy to say, 'We're going to win 30 of our 41 games at home,' " he said. "But Staples is a shared arena with the Clippers, it's a familiar arena with NBA players. It's not what you would consider a place like Dallas, where the owner runs around, pumps up the volume, intimidates the referees and … has announcers as hired cheerleaders, which is an intimidating force."

Interesting little quote... not that he's wrong about Cuban...but maybe he's already targeting the Mavs for his verbal swipes this year.

I bet he'll say something nasty about our council/city folks when he's in town. After all, the Maloofs did assist (unintentionally) him in getting him his current gig.
