Count Kenyon Martin as another former player who believes Phil Jackson’s triangle offense is antiquated and does not belong in today’s NBA.
“The triangle is not going to run in this NBA, I don’t care who you have on the floor,” Martin said on “Two Man Weave,” airing on NBA on TuneIn. “This is not your Bulls, this not Kobe and Shaq’s Lakers. This is the 2017 NBA and that style of basketball is not going to go.”
But since the inception of Jackson’s tenure as Knicks president — a miserable three-year slog with the team compiling an 80-166 record — he has attempted to force feed the triangle on a roster not compatible with the offense he ran to perfection while coaching the Bulls and Lakers.
