Throughout the Phil Jackson era, the New York Knicks made roster decisions that fans questioned or opposed. That was never more true than with Sasha Vujacic, who became a mentor to Kristaps Porzingis and a pariah amongst Knicks fans.
After spending two years as one of the most polarizing men in New York, Vujacic will return to Europe for the 2017-18 season.
Vujacic was one of the more polarizing signings of the Jackson era. He helped Jackson win two of his 11 NBA championships, and was thus looked at as a player who could help New York as a veteran mentor and locker room leader.
