ORLANDO, Fla. — Knicks president Phil Jackson and Warriors coach Steve Kerr made a scene outside the Warriors’ locker room late Sunday afternoon at the Garden. The two former Bulls champions chatted for 15 minutes in front of about 30 media members waiting to get into the locker rooms for postgame interviews.
Jackson normally avoids the media like they are infected by a virus. Instead of inviting Kerr to his office alongside the Knicks locker room, Jackson didn’t mind a public viewing.
This was one meeting, however, he should have kept in private. With the three-year anniversary of Jackson’s return to the Knicks approaching in less than two weeks, it evoked another reminder of what could have been.
