Phil Jackson's strange, philosophical message led to hysterical tweets
Knicks president Phil Jackson posted a long, bizarre, philosophical manifesto on Tuesday to explain why he fired coach Derek Fisher and what he's looking for from New York players.
The Zen Master's message was filled with head-scratching mumbo jumbo like, "The style of leadership that I've been put in a box with is: transformational as juxtaposed to transactional."
Jackson managed to slip in a plug for his book in his treatise as well.
These three things led to a barrage of funny tweets.
I am sad about D-Fish. However, I'm not discouraged. Here is some things pundits should know before assuming 'next'. pic.twitter.com/cFnA8TQAhx
