The New York Knicks hired Phil Jackson as team president in an attempt to build a championship contender. There was no guaranteeing that Jackson would excel in an executive position, but his 11 NBA championships as a coach and two as a player painted a promising picture.
In his third season at the helm, Jackson’s vision is becoming clearer and the results are trending in his favor.
New York is currently 16-13 overall, 11-4 at home, and 5-9 on the road in 2016-17. Its most recent victory, 106-95 over the Orlando Magic, displayed the Knicks’ depth, while its 118-111 win against the Indiana Pacers exhibited its star power.
