Phil Jackson hopes to make his critics finally eat crow after what the Knicks have had to ingest for the past two seasons.
Jackson won a record 11 NBA championships as a coach but the Knicks are 49-115 under his watch as team president, and he said they have had to “eat some dung” to be in position to potentially reach the playoffs this season.
“Fiscally, I’ve been very responsible as a president,” Jackson said. “I don’t think I’ve had an opportunity to do a lot with the personnel but we’ve been successful in getting it to a position where we can operate as a basketball team.
