Carmelo Anthony scored 34 points and the New York Knicks opened the Phil Jackson era by beating the Indiana Pacers 92-86 Wednesday night for their season-high seventh straight victory.
According to a story by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, if you were a free-agent being pursued by the Knicks, Mr. Dolan saw to it that you didn't leave with out a CD of his band performing.
The Knicks continue to offer a reminder of what could have been...
Was he perfect? Of course not. He is not a great public speaker, so there was plenty of hesitation and "uhhs" between his words, but none of that matters when compared to the words that came out of his mouth.
A musician -- you may or may not have heard of his band, "JD and the Straight Shot" -- Dolan attempted to use his music to his advantage when trying to encourage players to sign with the Knicks.
There's a reason they call him the Zen Master. Jackson knows his No. 1 priority is to put a winning product on the court. To that end, he plans on molding the mental state of his players.
The Phil Jackson era has begun. It's a new beginning. It's real hope for Knicks fans. In a season that has had very few good days, yesterday was a great one for the 'Bockers.
Boomer couldn't help but feel good about the Knicks thanks to the mere presence of Jackson, citing the good old days when Phil actually wore a Knicks uniform.
"We want to build a team," Jackson said. "We have a great opportunity. This is the best place to play basketball ... I have to jump in with both feet. I've gotta move to New York, and I've gotta do this job the right way."
The contrast in the men was startling, like a before and after photo glued together. It's probably the last time both Jim Dolan and Phil Jackson will be smiling at the same time.
This is the start of a new era filled with questions and great anticipation. Knicks fans, enjoy the show, but don't expect to learn a whole lot. This is only the beginning.
Here you'll find everything you need to get good and drunk during Phil Jackson's introductory press conference on Tuesday.
The hole might be too big to dig out of, but considering how the first 67 games of the season have gone, would you rule anything out for the final 15? I wouldn't.
Hill insists his career could have been much, much different had he landed with the Knicks in 2000: "If I had gone there, I wouldn't have had the ankle problems."
