According to a report, Knicks President Phil Jackson is aiming to hire TNT broadcaster Steve Kerr by early next month, following the conclusion of the first round of the NBA playoffs.
Used-car dealership chain CarMax and airline Virgin America said Monday that they are ending their sponsorships of the Clippers in the wake of comments allegedly made by the team's owner, Donald Sterling.
Larry Johnson has never been one to hold back when he has something on his mind. He definitely had something on his mind Saturday in the wake of the accusations of racism against Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
"She's called the girlfriend from hell, but what he said was terrible and despicable and very strong action is going to be taken. There's no question about it. She's a terrible human being and he gave horrible answers and disgusting answers."
Though Kerr has never been a coach, he has been mentioned as a candidate for Mike Woodson's old job since Jackson was hired in March.
Is it the destination? Is it the dysfunction? Is it the soap-operatic noise that comes from 7th Avenue? Even when the Knicks are horrible -- which is pretty pro forma for them -- they bogart the bold ink.
The worst thing Phil Jackson can do is repeat the Mike Woodson hiring process. Steve Kerr might very well end up being the best guy for the job, but let's look at all the options first.
Phil Jackson was finally asked Wednesday about Carmelo Anthony returning to the Knicks on a max contract. His answer should ring like music to Knicks fans ears.
That's the $33-million question. Knicks president Phil Jackson said Wednesday that he hopes Carmelo Anthony stays "true to his word" and is willing to sacrifice some cold, hard cash.
Two days after firing Mike Woodson, Jackson reiterated Wednesday that he won't be returning to the bench, despite the fact that even fiancee Jeanie Buss told him he should.
Frank Isola of the Daily News tried to drop a bombshell Wednesday morning, but the story's own headline betrays how minor the story really is.
According to a report, the iconic former Bulls and Lakers coach wants to remove other staffers, but Dolan has voiced opposition against it. Dolan wants to keep certain employees on board.
The most telling move the Knicks made Monday was not firing Mike Woodson. That was inevitable. It was firing Herb Williams.
And the hypocrisy of pro basketball goes on. It's a players' league until the players lose. Then it's the fault of the fella who didn't take one shot all year. But Phil Jackson still had to can Mike Woodson.
Unless Phil Jackson can make the Knicks a "loaded" team, a club that's ready to win it all, he won't even think of coaching. And that's not going to happen.
