Recently, Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes talked about Leonard on the "All The Smoke" program.

Barnes: "You stayed with young Leonard, and then they sent you away because they felt that you had too much influence on Leonard, right?"

Jackson: "Yes, it was obvious to see his talent. When I was with the Spurs, he would come to my house as a guest. Once the Spurs found out about this, they knew the situation was not simple, so I can understand why they sent me away. I do look like a cancer sometimes."
