The Five Key Bench Players in the NBA Playoffs

Stephen Jackson, San Antonio Spurs

Talk about some fire off the bench. Jackson’s ferocity, aggressive play and ability to score at will are all extremely important ingredients to a Spurs’ championship. The former “Malice at the Palace” participant has also been known for his wild side, but a core group of guys including Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Coach Gregg Popovich seem to be providing a dynamic where Jackson can flourish (and lead). David Robinson should be proud.
