Phil Jackson jokes about purposely destroying the Knicks image

Oh, Phil Jackson! You're so funny! Wait, you are joking, right?

Knicks fans have reason to be wary after audio surfaced of New York's general manager joking (hopefully) about purposely destroying the team. A reporter asked Jackson what parts of his new job he gets joy out of. Jackson's response wasn't what Knicks fans were expecting.

"It's not something I really wanted to do," Jackson said before mentioning his partner and Lakers part-owner Jeanie Buss encouraged him to take the job to wrecking a team he loved. This might be funny if the Knicks weren't the worst team in the NBA with a 13-51 record.

Real knee slapper there, Phil.
