New York Knicks News Mix, 4/17/17: NBPA Chief Criticizes Phil Jackson, Holiday Brothers Reunion

The fallout from Phil Jackson’s press conference isn’t going away anytime soon. The president of the New York Knicks notably upset Kristaps Porzingis with his actions, but he didn’t stop there.

Add Michelle Roberts to the list of people who thought Jackson’s words crossed the line. Roberts, the National Basketball Players Association executive director, criticized the president of the New York Knicks over his comments about star Carmelo Anthony.

“We voiced with the Commissioner today our view on the inappropriate comments by Knicks President Phil Jackson,” Roberts said in a statement.
