‘Phil Jackson tarnished his legacy’: Adam Schein reacts to departure from Knicks

June 28, 2017

Depending on who you ask here at SiriusXM, Phil Jackson’s disastrous stint in New York is either extremely damaging to his legacy…or a negligible blip on his historic career.

Mad Dog Sports Radio‘s Adam Schein is a firm believer that Jackson’s three years as a Knicks exec has permanently “tarnished his legacy.”

Frank Isola and Brian Scalabrine of SiriusXM NBA Radio were a little more reserved in their thoughts.

“I don’t think that this is going to tarnish what he did,” Scalabrine said. “He was phenomenal as a coach. He’s been to so many Finals and he’s won so many championships.”
