The New York Knicks have fired Phil Jackson after a rough 3 years at Madison Square Garden. Phil's professional NBA career started in NY and now it has ended there as well.
Phil was drafted as a player way back in 1967 by the Knicks. He played his college ball at North Dakota. Phil helped them win 2 championships in the 1970's before retiring from the NBA , as a player, in 1980.
Phil became head coach of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in 1989. He would go on to lead the Bulls to 6 championships including two 3 Peats.
In 1999, Phil became the head coach of the L.A. Lakers. He was blessed with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal in their primes. He won 5 more championships and became the best coach of all time.
Phil Jackson seemed to be done with basketball after his run with the Lakers. But in 2015, the Knicks offered him a job as president and being in charge of running all basketball operations. Phil struggled in this posistion and it never seemed like a good fit. He has had a Hall of Fame career and will be remembered for his 11 NBA Championships and not his unsuccessful run in New York.

I am sorry to hear phil jackson bites the dust but he deserves the blame more than anyone. No one in his team and even his coach understand how to run a trangle and they dont have jordan or kobe in their roster and he still insisted this is the best strategy for them.

I remember when I was a young man I had a.m. fm radio and we will listen to the New York Knicks games with players like Will Reed, Dick Barnett, Clyde Frazier,Earl the Pearl now that was a team . but that's in the past now .it's been along time since the New York knickerbockers that's what they were called back in the day has gone to the playoffs. Hopefully now that Phil Jackson is gone we can restart our rebuilding process .

Phil is laughing his ass off all the way back to his Montana ranch with $60 million in his pocket. If anyone tried to get fired nobody did it as well as Phil. At 71 years of age this is a nice retirement.

What's the point of letting him go now? Why didn't they get rid of him before the draft? : |

Phil Jackson is the greatest thief ever.... well, almost ever. He's in 2nd place to Elon Musk. LOL - he flat out took the Knicks owner to the cleaner!
