The New York Knicks are enduring an unnecessary stream of preventable drama. It began with team president Phil Jackson critiquing Carmelo Anthony on a public forum and continued with the inevitable questions the franchise player faced about his comments.
Regardless of whom you believe is right or wrong, it seems easy enough to agree that this shouldn’t be a topic of conversation.
Jackson stated that Anthony can be the Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan of New York’s triangle offense, but he needs to stop holding the ball and become more decisive. That was perceived and reported as Jackson calling Anthony a ball hog.
