After a disastrous 2016-17 NBA season, the New York Knicks had their exit interviews. These meetings are usually for closure on the season and are deemed to be incredibly important. However, one Knick didn’t find it necessary to attend.
Kristaps Porzingis sent a message to Phil Jackson by not attending the exit interview, and that message seemed to be that he doesn’t like the way The Zen Master is running things.
The second-year big man showed signs of irresponsibility by missing the exit meeting. No matter how upset he was about the way Jackson is running the team, he needed to show up to that sit-down.
