Phil Jackson may or may not be a fan of Spike Lee’s cinematic work, but the Hall of Famer certainly isn’t a fan of Lee’s basketball acumen.
Lee’s latest project is a look at the triangle offense, which Jackson has mastered over his long career in the NBA. Now serving as the president of Lee’s beloved New York Knicks, Jackson is bringing the triangle to the Big Apple.
That process is being documented by Lee for a documentary on MSG.
“(MSG) said, ‘We know Knick fans are the most knowledgeable basketball fans in the world,’ which I agree with, ‘but this triangle, it needs to be explained,’ ” Lee recently said, according to Newsday. “So to the best of my abilities, I’ve tried to make that possible.”
Speaking at a recent festival, it sure sounds like Jackson won’t be taking any time out of his busy schedule to check out the flick.
