In case you’re keeping score at home, New York Knicks president Phil Jackson‘s batting average has continued to precipitously dip well below the Mendoza Line.
It’s safe to say this isn’t what James Dolan signed up for when he relinquished $60 million to the individual deemed as one of the best basketball minds on the planet. Though paying someone an unprecedented and exorbitant amount to do a job he’s never done before is an indictment of your own decision making.
But for Phil, this isn’t using extrapolation to rectify a sample-size issue. This isn’t waiting to see how the entire year plays out for a guy like Mark Teixeira, who customarily struggled out the gate before turning it around and putting together a representable campaign.
