Spike Lee has seen enough of Phil Jackson, and that was before Charles Oakley was ejected from the Garden during Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.
“I’ll pack Phil’s bag for him,” Lee, a mega Knicks fan, said to ESPN’s Steve Zeng.
It seems Lee had taken offense to Jackson’s antics aimed at star forward Carmelo Anthony. While it’s known the Knicks’ president has been actively shopping the nine-time All-Star on the trade market, it was Jackson’s tweet which referenced a critical column on Anthony that drew Lee’s ire.
In his tweet, which ended a 42-day hiatus, Jackson wrote, “Bleacher’s Ding almost rings a bell, but I learned you don’t change the spot on a leopard with Michael Graham in my CBA daze.”
The tweet was taken to be a tweak at Anthony, whom Jackson has constantly been at odds with over the forward’s penchant for being ball-dominant.
Nevertheless, Lee doesn’t agree.
“I think I still believe in Carmelo,” Lee said. “But Phil Jackson is making it very difficult for him.”
