'He was a stand-up guy and one of the best people I met,' former NBA player Stephen Jackson says.
"You're going to see more and more stuff going on which I don't agree with, but people are not getting justice," Jackson told"Nightline" co-anchor Juju Chang."Just losing a job is not enough. These people are really hurt. You're taking someone's life just because you can, because you know you're protected. ... It's going to get worse. Trust me, it's going to get worse.
"When I was in Houston, he looked out for me," Jackson said."So ... it was a relationship that grew over just being in the streets, growing up together. And we just became tight over the years, and the fact that we look alike made us grow even tighter." "He'd been through a lot of stuff in his life -- a lot of stuff -- and to make it out after you rehabilitate yourself and you're intelligent enough to know I can't go back to the same surroundings because it's gonna bring me back to the same spot," Jackson said.
