When Phil Jackson first joined the New York Knicks a few years ago, the organization and its fans thought things were about to turn around. Instead, the complete opposite happened.
Jackson joined the team at the end of the 2013-14 season, and it has pretty much been downhill since then. In his first year with the team, they finished 17-65, which stands as the worst single-season in franchise history.
Carmelo Anthony and Jackson had budded heads many times over the past couple years, and chatter began about Melo possibly being dealt somewhere else around the league. By seasons end, it was pretty clear the two did not want to work together any longer.
Whether Melo stays in New York or goes to another team, he's made sure to put in extra work for whatever franchise he'll be suiting up for in 2017-18.
A video of the 10 time NBA All-Star putting work in at the gym was released on social media, and he looks to be in insane shape.
Whoever is lucky enough to have Melo on their roster next season will be very happy with the work he's put in this offseason, that's for sure.
