The Phil Jackson experiment will go down as one of the greatest failures in New York Knicks history. Now, thanks to a rare interview from long-vilified owner James Dolan, there may be some perspective as to why.
In an interview with Ian O’Connor of ESPN, Dolan speculated Jackson was “doomed” by what he described as “yes men.”
“… I think it was much more about this triangle thing. It was much more about his philosophy, that he couldn’t get the group to buy into it. And I think he got yessed a lot.
