To quote Ron Burgundy: “Boy, that escalated quickly.”
Mere hours after Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reported that James Dolan was “weighing the future” of Phil Jackson, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne dropped a bomb of the Woj variety on us.
The Zen Master and the Knicks are expected to part ways early Wednesday morning.
This comes after Dolan picked up the option for the final two years on Jackson’s contract.
Also, it’s less than six months removed from Dolan’s appearance on the Michael Kay Show when he gave Jackson a public ringing endorsement.
