Happy 69th Birthday to the Zen Master — Phil Jackson!! We’re wishing you many more!!! #Knicks
The Knicks have traditionally held their pre-season training camp in Greenburgh, but now it looks like Phil Jackson wants to get this team into shape and is playing no games! This year’s camp will be held at West Point Military Academy. Hit the jump for details.
Looks like Phil Jackson is all settled in as the new President of the New York Knicks and it’s complete with a new home.
Carmelo Anthony finally admitted what we all knew, the Knicks won’t win a championship this year. During his free agency tour, Anthony said winning was his priority so it didn’t make sense to some that he re-signed with the Knicks. When he re-signed with the team on five-year, $124 million contract, he reiterated that it was because he believed in the team and not for the money. Now he acknowledges that winning will take some time.
Metta World Peace didn’t even make it through his first full season with the Knicks, but with a new regime running things now, apparently the team is willing to consider giving him another shot.
It appears that as long as Andrew Bynum can walk, there’ll be a team willing to sign him. That’s often the case with 7 footers in the NBA, despite his antics and numerous injuries, teams are still willing to take a chance. This time he might be able to link up with his former coach, Phil Jackson who’s now the president of the New York Knicks.
