In the latest installment of “The Phil Jackson Chronicles” from Charley Rosen, Jackson dishes on the firing of Derek Fisher and how he and the former Knicks coach differed in their training philosophies.
Jackson mostly praised Fisher, but it seems as though the Zen Master just didn’t think Fisher’s best was good enough — especially when it comes to aligning with his favored brand of psychology gibberish.
The Knicks president also referenced Fisher’s brawl during training camp with Matt Barnes — a dispute stemming from Fisher dating Barnes’ estranged wife, Gloria Govan — but did not cite that as the reason for Fisher’s undoing.
