Phil Jackson

If you’re looking for a silver lining amid the New York Knicks’ crummy season, head coach Jeff Hornacek kind of has one. You know, maybe. Following practice on Saturday, Hornacek made it clear team president Phil Jackson has not asked him to run the triangle all the time, per ESPN.com’s Ian Begley: Jeff Hornacek says Phil [...]

Oh, Phil. If you thought the New York Knicks president would apologize for not-so-subtly subtweeting Carmelo Anthony, I pity you. It was never going to happen. And sure enough, it didn’t happen. To recap: Bleacher Report’s Kevin Ding authored a piece on how Phil Jackson has expected Anthony to be a player he’s not. While the article was more [...]

Just when you think things with the New York Knicks cannot get any worse, they do. No, I’m not talking about the team having former player and fan favorite Charles Oakley dragged from Madison Square Garden and arrested on Wednesday night. Well, I kind of am. But first there’s the Carmelo Anthony-Phil Jackson business. The [...]

New York Knicks president Phil Jackson is trying very, very, ridiculously, embarrassingly hard to get Carmelo Anthony to waive his no-trade clause before the Feb. 23 deadline. And he’s failing. Anthony, in fact, seems more motivated than ever to stick with New York, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: New York Knicks president Phil Jackson’s [...]

Literally no one looks at the 2016-17 New York Knicks and says, “Hey! They need more drama!” Except, apparently, team president Phil Jackson. Bleacher Report’s Kevin Ding penned an intriguing piece about how Jackson has failed the Knicks by expected Carmelo Anthony to, essentially, be a player he’s not. The article was more critical of Melo [...]

New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson might want to rethink his attempts to trade Carmelo Anthony.   Melo tweeted this on Tuesday ahead of the Knicks’ game with the Washington Wizards: [tweet https://twitter.com/carmeloanthony/status/826483340601548801] There’s no way this doesn’t have anything to do with the recent rumors, right? Especially knowing how many times Jackson, or a friend [...]

Why yes, Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jackson are still making headlines. Anthony got his long-awaited meeting with the New York Knicks president on Tuesday, and the returns weren’t great. ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne has the deets: [tweet https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/821445802979532801] [tweet https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/821452476360470528] [tweet https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/821452583776624640] [tweet https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/821461837522685953] The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed Shelburne’s findings, though he painted a more [...]

The Carmelo Anthony-Phil Jackson saga is soldiering on. In the aftermath of a scathing column written by Jackson confidant Charley Rosen,  the prevailing sentiments call for Anthony to waive his no-trade clause so that the New York Knicks can begin rebuilding around Kristaps Porzingis without him. Though Jackson has yet to confirm Rosen is not an [...]

In a column for the FanRag sports network, Charley Rosen, a known Phil Jackson confidant, blasted New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony. The line that left everyone questioning the article’s intentions? The only sure thing is that Carmelo Anthony has outlived his usefulness in New York. Rosen, it must be noted, is not Jackson. But [...]

Jeff Hornacek isn’t fazed by the non-feud between New York Knicks president Phil Jackson and Carmelo Anthony. Things were weird for a minute. Jackson talked about Anthony being a ball-stopper, then Melo basically called him out on Instagram and via the media. The two apparently hashed stuff out, but the exchange was bizarre—hardly indicative of [...]
