CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Stephen Jackson has a message for his Charlotte Bobcats teammates with LeBron James headed to Miami.

Any vacations should end immediately.

While Jackson says he thinks James should have signed with Chicago or stayed in Cleveland and “showed a little more loyalty,” Jackson isn’t backing down from the challenge of facing a stacked Heat team that also includes Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

The Bobcats also must still contend with Dwight Howard and Orlando, Atlanta with Joe Johnson coming back and Washington with rookie John Wall in perhaps the best division in the NBA.

Jackson says he “loves it” and contends the Heat are not invincible. But the guard indicated Friday his teammates need to get in the gym now since “it’s going to be even harder.”
