Phil Jackson has failed as President of the New York Knicks. Even the most foolish of homers can no longer deny that he needs to go and it’s not just about the Carmelo Anthony drama or the Joakim Noah contract. It’s about the fact that Jackson is the latest executive to fail in addressing New York’s greatest area of need.
The Knicks were looking for a point guard long before Jackson took over. The 11-time champion picked up the burden, and after three years on the job, he’s proven incapable of finding the right guy to play the league’s most valuable position.
