= Professional
=Jackson was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 23rd pick in the 1997 NBA draft. He was traded to the Denver Nuggets prior to his rookie season where he played 68 games before moving on to a more familiar place in Minnesota where he donned a Timberwolves jersey for two seasons.
He is perhaps best known for his years in Sacramento when he played for the Kings from 2000 to 2005, where he was known as "Action Jackson" and was a crowd favorite. In the 2002 NBA Playoffs, after he and his team finished with a 61–21 regular season record, Jackson and the Kings came within one game of making the NBA Finals, eliminated controversially by the Los Angeles Lakers. During the 2002-03 NBA season, Jackson averaged a career-best 15.2 points per game on the way to being named the Sixth Man of the Year. Jackson suffered an abdominal strain early in the 2004–05 season that forced him to miss 51 games. The following season, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies for Bonzi Wells.
On July 29, 2008, it was reported that Jackson would be traded by the Rockets back to the Sacramento Kings along with Donté Greene, a 2009 first round draft pick and cash consideration in exchange for Ron Artest (now Metta World Peace). The trade was completed on August 14, due to Greene's rookie contract signing on July 14.
Jackson retired from the NBA on October 24, 2009.
