Former New York Knicks star Amar’e Stoudemire talked about his time playing under Phil Jackson as team president.

New York Knicks fans have made up their minds about Phil Jackson’s tenure in New York, but Amar’e Stoudemire believes the Hall-of-Fame coach was doomed by several players on the Knicks refusing to accept the triangle offense.

While explaining that he was a fan of the offensive system that led the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers to several championships, Stoudemire told the Good Show in Canada that the rest of the team wasn’t buying it.
