Friday afternoon, New York Knicks president Phil Jackson addressed the New York media. In his presser, Jackson answered some questions about the struggling Knicks. Jackson though only stirred more controversy with his responses. One of them stood out from the rest.
After being asked about the future of Carmelo Anthony, Jackson noted that the Knicks haven’t won with him. Jackson then went on to say that he felt Anthony would be “better off somewhere else,” as opposed to staying in New York.
His public statement about Anthony’s potential future with the Knicks was shocking to the NBA world, as Jackson essentially said that the veteran forward has no future with the team.
