During the 2009-2010 campaign, the Charlotte Bobcats traded Vladimir Radmanovic and Raja Bell to the Golden State Warriors for Acie Law and 2003 NBA champion Stephen Jackson less than one month into the season. Following the trade, Jackson became one of the team's most valuable contributors.
Making 139 appearances for Charlotte, Jackson averaged 19.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks in 37.7 minutes per game. After a 34-48 season during the 2010-2011 campaign, "Stack Jack" was sent to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-team trade that landed the Bobcats veteran forward Corey Maggette and Bismack Biyombo, who had just been selected by the Sacramento Kings with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Following the deal,
Jackson would play just three more NBA seasons, between the Bucks, Spurs and Clippers. He finished his career averaging 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks in 858 appearances.
