GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Phil Jackson made Courtney Lee an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Jackson, whom Lee called “The Godfather of the Triangle,” pulled the guard aside during Knicks practice on Monday. The team president sat down with Lee, pulled out a coach’s whiteboard and starting diagramming plays.
Lee appreciated the tutorial.
“It’s dope,” he said. “The man’s got multiple rings and that’s what we’re trying to chase. He has a lot of knowledge and information, so it’s always good to pick people’s brains because you don’t know all the answers. There’s somebody out there that knows a little more than you and he’s one of those guys.
