Knicks assistant Mike Woodson showers James Dolan with love after taking Indiana job

Mike-Woodson-showers-James-Dolan-with-love-after-taking-Indiana-job.jpg

Mark this one down in the “Who saw this coming” category. Mike Woodson was hired to be the new head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers, taking over a program that has been underachieving for years. Born and raised in Indianapolis, Woodson attended and played at Indiana before being selected by the New York Knicks in the first round of the 1980 draft. That’s not the part nobody saw coming, although it was a bit surprising. What was somewhat unpredictable, was all the praise Woodson gave to Knicks owner James Dolan upon his exit.




In an article posted by the New York Post, Woodson couldn’t have spoken better of Dolan in his introductory press conference after being introduced at Indiana.


“I want to thank my Knick family for allowing me to get out of my contract and come home,” Woodson said Monday morning during his introductory press conference. “Jim Dolan gets a bad rap in New York. But he was a great owner for me. He allowed me to be head coach and he allowed me to come back to be an assistant…. Everyone in that Knicks organization is first class.” – Mike Woodson
Dolan has long been mocked and ridiculed by almost everyone in the media with many calling for him to sell the Knicks. The Charles Oakley incident at Madison Square Garden really triggered many and bumped up the pressure on Dolan. He has stood firm in his ownership of the team though.
Woodson’s praise of Dolan comes as one of the few to do so in recent memory.

His hire at Indiana was a surprise to some, as Woodson has never coached at the college level in any capacity, having spent his entire coaching career in the NBA.
He takes over an Indiana program he knows well that is in desperate need of a facelift and a coach who can produce results and consistency.

Phil Jackson unloads on Carmelo Anthony while talking Knicks tenure, compares own treatment to Donald Trump

Phil Jackson is nearly four years removed from his failed tenure as president of the New York Knicks. It appears he has a long list of people to blame for that failure.

The former Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers coach opened up about his time at Madison Square Garden in an episode of "The Curious Leader" podcast, hosted by Coby Karl, one of Jackson's former Lakers players and the son of George Karl.

The one-hour, 43-minute podcast touched on a number of topics, with the discussions compiled by Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, including the infamous Matt Barnes-Derek Fisher incident ("it was a distraction"), his eventual firing at the hands of James Dolan ("I think he actually did me a favor") and his struggles with the triangle offense ("perhaps the best thing I could’ve done was just coach the team myself"). His most eyebrow-raising remark, however, came from his description of how the media treated him.

Specifically, Jackson compared his treatment to that of former President Donald Trump, another man known to have experienced business failures in New York City.

From the New York Daily News:

“I kind of understand Trump had to live with probably for his first 3 ½ years in office with the media,” Jackson said.
Jackson also reportedly complained of a media contingent that “was decidedly against the organization and they were looking for whatever they can do to throw aspersions.” Under Jackson, the Knicks' best record was a 32-50 mark in the 2015-16 season. The team still hasn't posted a winning record in the wake of his tenure.

Part of the reason for his Knicks failure, Jackson claimed, was Anthony's lack of leadership:

“Carmelo, I think, wanted to be a leader, but I don’t think he completely knew how to be a leader as a player,” Jackson said. “And I think that the strength of his personality was intimidating to some of the coaches that were asked to coach the team. And so there wasn’t this compliance that has to happen between players and coaches. And as much I tried to interject my own beliefs, I don’t think you’re close enough to the ground in that situation to really be effective in dictating how things are going to be done.”

Jackson reportedly added that he wanted to trade Anthony, but complained of Anthony's "lack of compliance" in declining to waive the no-trade clause that Jackson himself gave him at the start of the executive's tenure.

Ultimately, Jackson complained the media took Anthony's side after he stirred more controversy with his "don't change the spot on a leopard" tweet, which was a dig at Anthony's inability to thrive in the triangle offense. He claimed that led to his dismissal, and you will be shocked to hear Jackson thinks the biggest victims of the situation were the Knicks fans:

“I think that Jim felt like I was facing too big of an uphill climb and relieved me of the job because he just saw the media was going to be backing Carmelo in this situation,” Jackson said. “And I was going to be the guy taking the lumps.”

“It felt like a major disappointment to have to go through that and not being able to turn that thing around because it’s a heartbeat of New York. It’s a big part of what they like — their basketball team. There are long devoted Knick fans and I appreciate their desire but I think they get in the way of the team a lot of times.”

Another controversy Jackson took issue with was his labeling of LeBron James' business partners as his "posse." James responded to the remark by saying he had lost all respect for the legendary coach. Again, Jackson said he believed it was the media's fault:

“There was a lot of distortion that went into it,” Jackson said on the podcast. “And texting and media was a big part of it … But I used that terminology that we used a lot. And it was roundly made a racist remark or whatever it was. That can be thrown into the mix.”

This won't be the end of Jackson's comments, as Thursday's episode was just Part 1 of what must have been a lengthy conversation. We'll see what the coach has to say about, say, Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah in the future.

Man I don't even keep track of that shit lol
The Heat and Lebron both got something out of the transaction.
We both got rings
Lebron got better while in Miami and learned what it takes to have a championship squad.
:dunno:
I'm not mad. I don't like to see any of the guys leave really. As much shit as I talked about Kelly Im even kind of sad about him leaving

Kid was/is amazing man. Sad a guy this great can still be underappreciated. Also forget how big he was as a teenager man.. You usually look back and notice the body change as players age. Bron is more refined and muscular now but size wise hes the same! Thats insane how big he was at 18.

Towns need to go to the Knicks. D-Lo is one of @LordSinister's guys that's being passed around like a groupie at an NWA concert. I think his lack of defense and bball IQ is why teams been giving up on him. Oh well, he got his money at least.

He underappreciated cuz he's better at basketball than everyone's favorite basketball mascot and shoe brand. The myth of MJ and Kobe, you gotta be "post racial" to be the best.

Today is one of my all time favorite rappers birthday.



Hammer is born and raised Oakland, die hard Dubs fan, but peep the shirt bruh. Notice he not wearing no under armour or no shit like that right now. 3 rings is cool, but it aint Michael Jordan mutha fucka. :lol: 99% of Dubs fans are Jordan stans that buy Jordan brand and consider him GOAT. Like pretty much all NBA fanbases up to this point. Thats why THEY underappreciate him while clout chase off beating him at the same time. Comedy.

Hammer was AMAZING live. Props to the OG. Quietly been on the startup VC money before any rapper ever thought of making money outside of entertainment.
