Phil Jackson rips Spike Lee: He doesn’t know anything about basketball
By Josh Sanchez
Phil Jackson doesn’t seem to be a big Spike Lee fan, claiming he “doesn’t know anything about basketball.”
New York Knicks superfan and strange hat aficionado Spike Lee is going to attempt to explain the triangle offense in his upcoming documentary titled, What Is the Triangle Offense? A Spike Lee Orange and Blue Skies Joint.

While Spike Lee is doing what he can to educate the Knicks loyal fanbase, Knicks team president Phil Jackson doesn’t seem to think the documentary is must-see.
In fact, he seems to believe Spike Lee is just a big fan who should not be taken seriously when it comes to actual basketball talk.
“Spike is an avid Knicks fan who doesn’t know anything about basketball,” Jackson said, via Frank Isola of the New York Daily News. “It’s not that complicated. It’s not rocket science.”
The comments were made at The New Yorker Festival over the weekend.
Poor Spike Lee. You know that one is going to hurt him.
