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.
After 'The' Eddie Scozzare set the tone with a 'sympathetic' violin, which worked wonders in snapping the boys back to reality, the fun got underway.

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."
Jackson has agreed to run the New York Knicks' front office, a person familiar with the negotiations between the 11-time champion coach and the franchise told The Associated Press on Friday.
Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. had 20, and the New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 115-94.
The press conference is presumably to introduce Phil Jackson as the newest member of the Knicks' front office. What his position will be is not yet known, thought reports have suggested that he'll be named director of basketball operations.
I see virtually no scenario in which Jackson looks bad coming out of this Knicks opportunity. If he clashes with Dolan and the result is an ugly divorce, everyone would blame Dolan and Jackson's reputation would barely be scratched.
Two Lakers greats are chucking up a half-court shot at the buzzer, campaigning Los Angeles brass to swoop in and hire the Zen Master. Will it go in?
Carmelo Anthony scored 19 of his 34 points in the first half as the New York Knicks opened a 24-point lead and coasted to their fifth straight win, 116-92 over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
The so-called Zen Master, who has 11 NBA titles as a coach and two as a player, verbally committed to running the team's basketball operations over the weekend, according to the New York Post.
The details ARE important, and that's why it is taking so long to make this deal official. It's a good thing that both sides aren't just jumping into the pool eyes wide shut.
By dint of his divine career, the Zen Master's aura will cure the diseased Knickerbockers. It seems so simple you wonder why Jim Dolan didn't do this sooner. But there are myriad contradictions to the move.
GM John Idzik is opting for the conservative approach thus far, which isn't sitting well with Craig and has him pining for the days of Mike Tannenbaum.
Sources have said Phil Jackson is close to agreeing to become the next Head of Basketball Operations for the Knicks, with a deal that could be finalized by the end of the week.
"Phil doesn't want to work with Steve," a person close to Jackson told the New York Daily News. "Mills doesn't know what to think now. Dolan is calling the shots on this one."
Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 28 points as the New York Knicks defeated Philadelphia 123-110 on Monday night, sending the 76ers to their 17th straight loss.
