Phil Jackson offers some gross imagery for Knicks rebuild

Knicks president Phil Jackson reflected on his 2 ¹/u2082 years on the job, saying the franchise had to “eat some dung” on the way to this potential banner season.

Jackson also revealed he put an opt-out clause into his five-year contract in case of a lockout shutdown after this season.

Jackson said he’s not wondering about his long-term future, though it seems obvious if the Knicks fail miserably again this season, there could be a mutual parting of the ways. Jackson made only vague predictions Friday, saying he believes the club will give a solid showing if injury-free.
