It’s no secret the Knicks are having the worst season in franchise history and have been difficult to even watch. It was the further thing from the minds of most fans and people within the organization the day Phil Jackson was hired to run things. It was an upbeat time in New York and the buzz was back at MSG. Unfortunately the buzz faded quick and the reality check came very fast. Phil himself described the season with two words, sh*t happens!

On the prospect of the Knicks landing a top draft pick, Jackson said it was a “godsend,” before adding pleasantries towards the season ticket holders who paid for a full slate of trash basketball games: “I commiserate for the people who put a lot of money out there, who have season tickets who sit and watch the game. I empathize with that part of it,” he said.
“To rebuild this team, we knew we were going to have to take the team apart to get where we have to. I can make the argument we had to go through it. Shit happens and this season it did happen to us,” added Jackson.
Things look good on the horizon however so next year we could be talking about this same Knicks team as a playoff team. That is all you would want to have fans focus on after the joke of a season this was.
