Knicks brass wants the team’s players doing some form of social work revolving around the “Black Lives Matter” campaign that would go beyond just kneeling for the national anthem.
Knicks president Phil Jackson said he discussed the situation Friday with Carmelo Anthony, who just returned from Poland. Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek and general manager Steve Mills said coming up with ideas that will help things and not just creating controversy is the goal. Anthony became the NBA’s foremost social activist this offseason regarding the police shootings that have set off racial strife.
