Phil Jackson: “My Experiment Has Fallen Flat On Its Face”

philjacksonIf nothing else, Phil Jackson is as honest as they come. Perhaps to a fault. He’ll always tell it like it is even if it doesn’t paint him in the most flattering light.

We all knew this would be a “throw away” season for the Knicks, as they attempted to shed some salary, but even this seemed unthinkable. They were at least supposed to fight for a playoff spot, but now it’s a race for last overall. Phil Jackson admits he’s surprised.

“Like nothing I’ve seen before,” he said of the Knicks’ first 41 games, of which they lost 36, a half-season of hell. “So far, my experiment has fallen flat on its face.”
