When the Knicks hired Phil Jackson, he was a beacon of hope for an organization that had seen dark days. Jackson was going to keep owner James Dolan out of basketball decisions (he did that) and provide a direction for the franchise (he failed to do that).
Now, three year’s later, Jackson is out as president of the Knicks.
That had Knicks fans celebrating on social media.

That’s just a small sampling. So all is good with the Knicks now, right?
