In the intricate Q&A with Knicks head honcho Phil Jackson. The NY Post asked Phil about the little problem that is JR Smith. You’d like the answer.
Q: How do you plan to try to get through to J.R. Smith to put an end to all his immature on- and off-the-court antics?
A: I don’t know if that’s possible or not. He might be one of those guys that’s a little bit like Dennis Rodman that has an outlier kind of side to him. But I’m gonna get to know him as we go along, and we’ll find a way to either make him a very useful player on our organization, or whatever.
It better be possible, because if it isn’t. JR has got to go! If I was Phil. I ain’t allowing that guy to run rampant. I’d lock him down ASAP!
I’m serious. If JR Smith wants to be the leader of the Knicks, he has to stop with the antics on and off the court. The joke is getting old now.
