Is Carmelo Anthony trying to give Phil Jackson a taste of his own medicine?
The Knicks star, whose ice-cold performance against the Cavaliers on Wednesday night (he finished with eight points) suspiciously coincided with Jackson’s critique of Anthony’s ball-stopping habits, posted two messages Thursday on Instagram that appear directed at the Zen Master. It’s more fodder in an increasingly tense dynamic.
“EGO is the only requirement to destroy any relationship,” he wrote in the first post, attached to a black-and-white self-portrait, borrowing Jackson’s familiar mode of psychology-speak.
