Phil Jackson

Phil Jackson’s reign of terror over the New York Knicks will not span more than 171 losses.

There’s no way New York Knicks president Phil Jackson went on MSG Network Thursday night and copped to shopping Kristaps Porzingis because he has to do what’s best for “the club.” Except that he did.

Kristaps Porzingis sent a message to the New York Knicks by ghosting his exit interview with team president Phil Jackson: This crap fest you call a culture is unacceptable. Was that message received?

New York Knicks president Phil Jackson is really good at his job—provided his job is to destroy the market value of his best assets.

Michele Roberts, the executive director of the National Basketball Player Association, still isn’t cool with how New York Knicks team president has treated Carmelo Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t sound like someone who plans on being with the New York Knicks much longer.

Not all of Phil Jackson’s former players will support him if asked for their input on the job he’s done with the New York Knicks. Take Scottie Pippen, who played under Jackson for 10 years and won five titles with him. He thinks the Zen Master has to go. Here’s what the Hall of Famer said [...]

Jeff Hornacek’s job with the New York Knicks is safe. So be sure to send condolences his way. Though the Knicks rank as one of this season’s biggest disappointments, team president Phil Jackson has no plans to get rid of his fourth head coach (remember, he inherited, then canned, Mike Woodson), according to the New York [...]

Imagine being so oblivious that even when you’re so obviously wrong, you believe you’re right. This is where New York Knicks president Phil Jackson is at. According to the New York Daily News‘ Frank Isola, he doesn’t believe he’s failed as an executive; he simply believes the Knicks have underachieved: Can Jackson, a Hall of Fame coach, honestly [...]
